A visit with the Iveys and Rags is always a relaxing read. This the 25th book in the series but Ms. Fry has kept the story interesting. She has a cliffhanger in this one so I am looking forward to finding out what will happen next. I found 3 short stories that have been woven together into a single book. Rags is a major player in two of them. The other story has a special therapy cat. Brianna is kidnapped and Rags is instrumental in deciding her. Marci, Adam's Mother, has a problem and asked Savannah for help. Rags solved a shoplifting scheme before it hurts the family.
Michael and Keith learned more about their background. Teddy is introduced and Lily continues with baby talk. The baby talk is beginning to be annoying. I like to see Lily grow up a little. I highly recommend this book and series.

Rags really does get into mischief in this one--but he still is able to bring this book to a happy ending! Savannah's sister Brianna gets kidnapped after going on an adventure trip. Savannah and her aunt go looking and Rags manages to get into the car with nobody noticing.

Meanwhile Savannah's sister-in-law has a more then guilty conscience. What has she done? Will Savannah manage to convince her to do the right thing?

I'm still in love with this series--you will see another one up in a week or so!

More than just Rags has a klepto problem.

Just when one mystery is solved another rears its ugly head.
This book just keeps on giving in the mystery department.
Some times a cat just doesn't know which way to turn, or dose
he? Let's just hope his humans can keep up with following in his
paw prints. Or should we say his clues. A great mystery to keep you on your toes.

Absolutely am in love with this series!!

An extremely entertaining and riveting addition to
this wonderful series. Read it in one setting. Just
couldn't put it down. Lots and lots of twists and
turns. I'm so glad there was more Rags in this story.
Can't wait for book #26!!!!

Another Great Book

It is so hard to pick a favorite from her Kleptocat series. It was good to have a happy ending. I wasn't sure if it would work out that way.
