A fascinating story. Details of the seances were well written, interesting characters, though perhaps remained a little distant at times (slightly more telling instead of showing), which is the only reason I did not give five stars. The characters were well researched and there were many moments when I could relate to their emotions.

The author was skilled in painting the scenery with words - I could imagine the sights, sounds and smells easily.

If you are looking for a cozy mystery, this is just about as cozy as it can get. Nothing too scary, just the right amount of wondering who-did-it in the midst of cozy baking and knitting. And a touch of budding romance - of course there has to be a handsome detective. Cute story. I was kinda waiting for the cat to have her own thoughts and maybe “say“ things. She did not, but had an endearing presence nevertheless.

I haven't read animal mysteries much, but decided to finally read this book in my ebook library. It is funny. Though there is a pic of a cat on the cover, the main character is a dog. He decides to save his friend from the death row for a murder someone else did. He recruits a cat detective (literally: a cat) to find out the truth behind the murder. Other dogs and cats join in the rescue. Fun, fast paced. I think I'll read more Moose stories.
