Paws and Effect (Mystic Notch Cozy Mystery Series Book 4) Kindle Edition

*** Don't Miss Book #4 In The USA Today Bestselling Mystic Notch Series! ***

Three hundred years ago, accused witch Hester Warren buried a magical box in Mystic Notch. The secret contents within have the power to bring disaster to the town and when the box is dug up at a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Mystic Notch Historical Museum, Hester's ghost and that of her cat make an appearance to warn the humans and enlist their help to ensure the box doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

Too bad the only one listening is Pandora, the cat.

Pandora soon finds herself on a treacherous path, battling humans and cats alike where secrets are revealed and alliances which previously seemed impossible are made. But when one cat makes the ultimate sacrifice for the good of Mystic Notch, Pandora realizes things are not what they seem and is forced to make a decision that could put her own life at risk.


** This Mystic Notch adventure is a little shorter than the others and almost entirely from (the cat) Pandora's point of view! It's a standalone mystery, but it will be a lot more fun for you if you read at least one of the previous Mystic Notch books first as there are some secrets revealed about the characters and you'll enjoy it more if you already know them.

As a mystery, it's a pretty entertaining story. I would like these tales better if the cat and owner were more of a team. Having Pandora always sneaking out on Willa is a bit disappointing. I like Willa and don't like her being left out of what her cat is into. But that is just me. The intelligent cats thing is part of the back story of each story. It's sort of cute that the cats are taking care of their humans but I would like Willa not to seem oblivious.

This is a short book, just 141 pages. The story is told from Pandora's point of view. We learn a few new things about "their humans" is this book. A plot of land is going to be the site of the new historical museum. During the groundbreaking, the first shovel put into the ground hits a buried silver ornate box. The land used to belong to Hester Warren. She was burned at the stake centuries ago for being a witch. She had buried the box in the ground for safekeeping in the event that she was arrested. Left in charge of the box was her cat Obsidian. Once his nine lives were over, their spirits kept guard. Hester had never crossed over, neither had her cat. Now that the box was found several people claimed ownership. Pandora had talked to the ghost cat, she knew that what was in the box was very powerful. It could change Mystic Notch and the world forever. Many local families (including Willa and Gus) went back to Hester's time. Gus kept the box in her office until proof of the actual owner was brought forth. While the townspeople were fighting over the box, the contents were stolen. Pandora was upset, she thought that the other cats were acting too slowly. Otis (her least favorite elder) kept trying to make her listen. She wanted to take action. Save the town now, apologize later. Her hurry gets her and Hope in trouble. One of the cats actually comes to her rescue without mocking her. Just advising her to slow down and take in all the facts before you act. In the end, the humans discover that many of them are actually related to Hester. One is a big surprise. Willa could not see this ghost, but someone else could. Pandora's elder gives her the credit for saving everyone. Willa just thinks that Pandora is acting weird. The cat tries to telapath her thoughts to Willa and part of them actually get through. Or is it just a coincidence? This is book 4 in the series, but the author calls it 3.5.

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2022

If you are looking for a serious "who done" along the lines of a James Patterson novel, keep looking. The first three books in this series were entertaining if a little thin on substance but perfect bed time reading for me. This book was, to me, a total flop, the "plot" if any, was unrealistic with too many unbelievable paths and loose ends that just left me wondering if I even wanted to finish it. Dobbs is a prolific writer but this book should never have seen a printing press or e-reader. I'll try one more in the series and if no improvement I'll move on.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful and Purr-fect Read.
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2016

Pandora, the familiar and beloved fur pet of Willa Chance, a rare and used book seller, has written a novella. It is a good action-filled tale of how the cats in Mystic Notch, NH., keep the balance of good and evil in place for their 'humans.'

The author says this is book 3.5 in the series. It is a fun and quick read with just enough ghosts, drama, human drama, and mystical cats. I truly enjoy this town and it's inhabitants. And, it was fun to have an adventure written through the cats eyes, and telepathy.

We learn that Striker has abilities as does Willa. We learn, with a gasp, that Male Calico's can save the day. We learn the history of Mystic Notch.

I really enjoyed this break but am ready for a full-length again. Yeah!
