About this audiobook

Kathleen is excited to meet three old pals of her beau, detective Marcus Gordon, while they visit charming Mayville Heights on business. But the reunion is cut short when one of the friends is killed-and the evidence points toward Marcus as the murderer.

Though it seems she doesn't know all of Marcus's secrets, Kathleen is sure he's no killer. With his suspect status sidelining him from investigating the case, it's up to Kathleen and her feline partners-in-crime to find whoever is framing Marcus and make sure the good detective hasn't found his last clue.

    It does't sound good that my favourite character in this series is Fred the Funky Chicken, but it's true. The other characters are all likeable in the best cozy-mystery way, but my heart goes out to Fred the Funky Chicken every time.** I'm not going to pretend that this book isn't everything a modern cozy is; the magical cats pretty much give the game away. But Kelly does't over-play that magical hand and doesn't try to hide the deux ex machina-like effect this has on her ability to plot her mysteries. She also creates likeable, believable, characters that enjoy a reasonable amount of realistic conflict; some of which is resolved and some of it isn't. The murder plot was decent-ish. I was side-eyeing the murderer for awhile but there weren't any puzzle pieces to play with, just one big whopper of a clue that solved the whole thing for everybody at once. Or at least, for the reader and the MC; everyone else would need more proof, of course, thus allowing our MC to stumble into mortal peril. A reader comes to understand this is the nature of cozies though, and at least this peril was believable. Sort of. (How did the murder find them??) So Paws and Effect is everything you'd expect a contemporary cozy to be anymore, but better than most of the rest; a bit more solid and well written. A fun, fluffy bit of fiction for lazy afternoons.

    This is one of my favorite books in the series so far because by putting Marcus in jeopardy it made the whole plot line more exciting, more so then Kathleen as the heroine of the series you always know that she will be back for the next book, her boyfriend could disappear at any time however.

    I'm really looking forward to reading the latest novel in the series but I have a series novella to read first.

    Just what I needed this week. A page-turning mystery that didn't scare me totally, and included magical cats!(though in truth I would have liked more of the divine Owen and Hercules). This is the first Sofie Kelly book I have read, and it's obvious that I've missed a few good yarns in the series. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for them for those times when I need a good book!

    Kathleen is looking forward to getting to know some of Marcus’s old friends when their unexpected visit turns into a reunion of sorts. But when one friend comes up dead and the police are looking at Marcus as a suspect, Kathleen and her magical cats are right in the thick of things. Someone is framing Marcus for the murder, and the two women closet to Marcus – his girlfriend and his partner – are determined to prove his innocence. But it doesn’t take long for things to go from bad to worse, and a little magic is certainly needed. If this book has any weak point, it is the small amount of time that the cats are featured.

    These are not great books, but I find myself enjoying them and the characters a lot. I want to move to Mayville Heights.
