good book
This is the final book in the series and I can truly say I’ve enjoyed reading about the adventures of a talking cat and a homeowner who used to be a technically impaired librarian turned into a technically impaired detective.

Awesome ending
This one was so good. Lots of fun and plenty of snark from ginger who is one of my favorite detectives. I just wish my calico Katie could talk and be as snarky. Can't wait for the new series. Btw I am a retired librarian too.

Excellent cozy mystery
I read the entire series. Loved it in spite of early lack of interest in a talking cat. Loved Ginger and Jim. I hope to meet them in future series as cameos perhaps. Thank you Authur for writing this series. I look forward to more from you!

Loved this Adventure!
Ginger is my hero and that's all I can say about that. What a delightful way to conclude a series; however I am already in the early stages of withdrawal. Just hoping the new series is as enjoyable. Thank you, Arthur Pearce.

Best series ever
I loved this series. I hated to see it end. Recommend it for all that love light mysteries. Hey Arthur maybe a revival to see how Jim and Ginger are doing.
