*** USA Today Bestseller ***

When the ghost of a murder victim appears in Last Chance Books, middle-aged bookstore owner, Willa Chance, must find the ghost's killer or risk being haunted with its unwanted advice forever.

Too bad the ghost suffers from amnesia and only has a few scant clues as to the identity of the killer. That's okay, though, because Willa has a pretty good idea who did it ... until her investigation turns up additional suspects with curious motives.

Meanwhile her cat, Pandora, is on the hunt for a mystical kitten that the cats of Mystic Notch must bring into the fold before the kitten is enticed to the side of evil by a powerful foe.

When Willa's own life is threatened, she enters into a race against time to figure out the identity of the killer before she becomes the next victim.

4.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing overarching storyline is developing
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2023

"A Mew To A Kill" is third in this series, and the underlying story has captured my imagination! Pandora is part of an underground coterie of cats whose mission is to prevent evil from overshadowing good. The cats are doing a laudable job considering they have to maneuver clueless humans in order to succeed. Willa is the human that Pandora needs to manage, and this human is wearing on the nerves a bit. She's constantly flexing her former career as a crime reporter to prove her prowess at crime-solving; however, her process involves picking a suspect and then proceeding to prove their guilt, only to fall into the real culprit's grasp and need to be rescued. This character needs to evolve into awareness of the magic around her, and what happened to the magical prowess of her own that was mentioned?! The murder mystery is solid and adds details to the secret society. All of this creates a satisfying, clean, paracozy mystery.

Once again, Leighann Dobbs has a winner! This mystery introduced two new cats, one on the dark side, one on the side of good. Pandora and her friends are aways on the lookout for bad things that are going on in Mystic Notch.
Once again, Willa is in the middle of solving a crime to help a ghost pass on, and this one was really twisty! These aren't "average" stories, IMO. I absolutely love that cats, cat welfare, and adoption is featured.
Great story, great flow, excellent character building and very nice place description.
A-1 story, Ms Dobbs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets Can Kill
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2016

Well, this series is just getting better volume by volume. This episode revolves around the Mystic Notch Art Show.

Our Willa (Owner of the Last Chance Bookstore) is one of six judges for this year's event. There is one opening and Willa is shocked by it. Picking up the portfolio and looking at it, Willa can't imagine the creator's over confidence of winning the last remaining spot...yes, you can tell I'm keeping this vague, but that is because, the scene was well written and I do not want to spoil it for you.

There is a murder, but, is it the first? It certainly is not the last. And, when Willa tries to stay in the background, her ghostly assignment makes sure she can't as well as giving out beauty tips!

This book was suspenseful, humorous, and steady reading. Gus has a secret, heck, everyone has a secret in this novel. The light romance is enjoyable. I love the animals and their viewpoints. I love this series!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mew to a Kill is sure to delight mystery lovers

Leighann Dobbs continues to delight animal lovers with her cozies blending magic and mystery. A Mew to a Kill is the third novel in the Mystic Notch mystery series.

Paisley Brown is used to finding ways to get people to do what she wants - in this case getting a coveted spot in the arts festival. Though lacking in talent as a photographer, her skills as a manipulator bring her success, albeit temporary. Early the next morning Paisley's photography studio burns to the ground and her body is found amidst the ruins. This isn't the end of Paisley's manipulation, however, as her ghost appears in Willa's bookshop seeking justice. Paisley needs Willa to find her murderer in order to pass to the other side.

Was her death linked to the arts festival, or did Paisley's blackmailing tendencies get the better of her?

Meanwhile, Pandora learns of a special kitten, saved from a fire the previous summer. Is this kitten one from the prophecies?

As in the previous novels, the parts where the cats take precedence are as entertaining as the human parts of the mystery. Although the cats are intelligent and communicate with each other, they keep their feline dispositions.

I also like that by the end of the novel those animals needing homes are adopted by humans who will love them.

The central characters are well developed and likable. The relationship between Willa and Striker is sweet, with it being clear how much they care for each other. Friends and family alike care even when they would prefer that Willa take fewer chances while investigating.

Mystic Notch is a town that any self described crazy cat lady would love to visit. Filled with charming characters and fascinating felines it has a special allure. I look forward to delving into the town's secrets in Dobbs's future Mystic Notch novels.

The Mystic Notch cozy series does not have to be read in order. Newcomers to the series will find that Dobbs does an excellent job introducing the characters without being repetitive.

If you love well written cozy mysteries filled with cats and magic - look no further. A Mew to a Kill is a fantastic addition to the library of any mystery lover.

A nice story, that had what a lot of then don't these days that is beginning a middle and a nicely rounded off end. It also brought the cats into the story more, so they really are special cats that live life in Mystic Notch. We all know that cats are clever and this prooves it. All with a gentle touch of romance thrown in for good measure. I look forward to more of the series

I really like kitty mystery books and these are very good. The characters are quite believable for cozy mysteries. I like to leave reviews for books I read for free as I know it takes a lot of work to write them. However I’m not good at it.
