CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS WITH FAMILY AND FELINES In these nineteen original tail-twitching tales of mystery, cats from Maine coon to Scottish fold, tabby to Siamese, white Persian to calico crack all... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Probably one has to be a cat lover-at least to a certain extent-to appreciate the full impact of "Cat Crimes for the Holidays." And, yes, this is another collection of cat stories, but this anthology purports to reveal how cats can relate to the holidays! That said, it's an easy read, and one that is a bit of fun. There are 19 stories here, exploring the gamut of the holidays with kitty lit (sorry!). My favorite is Jon L. Breen's cat story for Martin Luther King Day! Jeremiah Healy's Valentine's Day and Bill Crider's Easter stories are also top notch. Funny and sometimes not, these stories offer a literary diversion that's fun to appreciate! ([email protected])
Fun Read

From Christmas to New Year's this book has stories for all of them. Even the holidays less known, such as Boxing Day. Some of the stories are written by famous authors such as Carole Nelson Douglas the author of the Midnight Louie series. While others are written by unknowns.This was an enjoyable book, but slacked off at times, producing somewhat boring stories. I recommend this book to any fans of mysteries, and cat lovers.

The seventh entry in the short story series starring feline detectives overall is very good, but has some disappointing tales. Each of the stories involve a crime occurring on a different holiday. The holidays range from the obvious such as Christmas and New Years Day to the less celebrated (at least in America) such as Arbor and Boxing days. Some of the most renowned cat detectives,d including the world famous Midnight Louie, are featured. This collections is well written, but some of the more famous cats like Louie only whet the audience's appetitie for the longer full length novel format. Still, fans of the sub-genre or just cat fans in general will enjoy this and the previous six cat crime books. Harriet Klausner
