I have always liked crime-solving entertainment, from tv shows to board games (does anyone remember Electronic Detective?) to books. I’m usually partial to grittier crime novels because they often contain twists and are harder to solve. But every so often, I enjoy a simple cozy mystery where I can “go along for the ride.”
When I get into that mood, Leighan Dobbs is one of my go-to authors. I am happy to report that her new release, A Purrfect Alibi is another winner.
From the opening introductions of mediums and psychics to the reveal of “whodunnit,” I was thoroughly entertained by this book. I love how the cats are important characters and are often smarter than the humans (anyone who owns a cat knows that this is true anyway).
In some ways, these books remind me of the Mrs. Murphy mysteries, mainly because of the way the animals communicate with each other and humans. But this series is much cozier and “fun-loving” (if murder could be called fun).
Honestly, you can read the blurbs for the plot, and with it being a mystery, I’m not about to write any spoilers. As always, you’ll have to read it yourself to find out what happens. But I will tell you that it is well-written and enjoyable. With the weather turning fall-ish quickly, it’s time to cuddle up with a cozy, and you won’t go wrong with this one.
