[Joana Marie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love how it was made of diiferent story in one book, however, there is a cons in doing this like how good the first story was then the second story build-up was kind of so-so. I really took time to finish, maybe because it has a lot of story. Other story are well-written while the others does not leave an impact to me.

It is a story of cats, not totally stories sorrounding cats or cats as the main character but the cats has a significant role for every event.

Lighthearted read about crimes on vacations with cats involved. I liked all the stories except the last one.

I really enjoyed the variety of short stories and different authors with the theme of cats-contributing-to-crime-solving being a cohesive binder.
