About this ebook

“One of the best books I’ve read.” —Amazon reviewer, five stars

A jaded tabby cat suspects everyone when an elderly neighbour gets put down in this witty mystery series debut . . .

After spending several months banged up in Sunny Banks rescue centre, life is looking good for Aubrey, a large tabby cat who has finally found his forever home with Molly and Jeremy.

However, all that changes when a killer begins to target elderly people in the neighbourhood. Aubrey wasn’t particularly upset by some of the previous deaths—particularly that of Miss Jenkins, who enjoyed throwing stones at cats. But the latest victim, Mr Telling, was one of the good humans. Aubrey may be a pampered house pet now, but he still knows his way around the streets—and along with a few other local felines, he intends to pounce on this two-legged predator . . .

    I was drawn to Street Cat Blues because of its quirkiness and its cat protagonist. Aubrey is a big cat, he's been called solid. He's found a new home with Molly and Jeremy after being held at the 'big house', aka Sunny Banks rescue centre and he'd quite like to settle down, but there are a series of murders going on in his neighbourhood, the latest of which is Mr Telling, a man Aubrey used to enjoy visiting.I'm a cat lover so I loved Aubrey. There are other cat characters in the book and, just as in humans, they're all different and some are more likeable than others. Molly and Jeremy are lovely people but they have some 'friends' called Rachel and Clive who are completely obnoxious. Then there's Maria, Mr Telling's cleaner, and her son, Carlos. Where do they fit into the story? Aubrey does a bit of investigation and gets caught up in some of the action himself.I have to confess, I'm not a cosy crime sort of person and that's what this book would probably be categorised as. Having said that, I can see that this book would appeal immensely to lovers of that genre and to cat lovers too. There's a lot of humour in it combined with such issues as illegal immigrants and, of course, murderers! I enjoyed Aubrey's investigative skills and admired his dogged (or should that be catted?) determination to find the killer.Street Cat Blues is an imaginative murder mystery with a fantastic main character. I can foresee more adventures and crime solving for Aubrey!
