I wish they would stay in Colorado where they belong. I missed the other regular characters! I also can't believe a computer programmer would be stupid enough to use such an easy to guess password on a computer that contained such important data!

As always happens to my dismay, this also contained "the proposal." I know I'm an outlier, but I hate proposals and weddings. I knew it was coming and can't believe she missed all the clues! I suppose since they're already living together, the changes for the worse have already happen. I'm sure all the romantics out there are wanting to line up to see the ring while I have to grit my teeth to keep from shouting..."It's more than a ring; it's a ball and chain! Don't say yes. Don't let him chain you to him. Run for your life. Save yourself!"

Loved it!

Ben has a case that takes the group to Grand Tortugas to sniff out whoever was committing company espionage. Of course Razzy, Gus, and Rudy are along and ready to assist in any crime fighting. Hannah, as she always does, stumbles on a murder. I really liked this installment. The cat trio really adds so much to the dialogue and the humor and the relationship between Hannah, Ben, and the cats is special. Can't wait for the next book.

A fantastic storyline! Best ending ever!!

I totally enjoyed this addition to Razzy's adventures! The ending had me tearing up big time. It was so well written with heaps of emotion. The cats part in the proposal was amazing! This was the best proposal I've ever read in a storyline!!!! Now I can't wait to read more of Razzy's adventures in crime fighting with her fantastic human and feline family!!!!!
