Claire Donally has done it again. LAST LICKS is peopled with a variety of interesting characters -- several of whom seem to have motive and opportunity. She really kept me guessing the whole time. The killer was right there the whole time but was still a surprise in the big reveal. I also enjoy the level of detail she gives to all her scenes. It makes it easy to picture everything.
While all this is going on, Shadow begins to act very strange when Sunny returns from the rehab center. He can sense something on her clothing -- another cat, one of the therapy pets at the home. While the humans try to solve their case, Shadow is determined to resolve this mystery on his own.
LAST LICKS is the third book in the Sunny and Shadow mystery series. I highly recommend it for people who enjoy cats and a good whodunit.
Book Summary
Sniffing out a murderer…
When Sunny Coolidge’s curmudgeonly boss, Oliver Barnstable, lands in rehab after breaking his leg, Sunny is stuck shuttling between their offices in Kittery Harbor, Maine, and the facility where Ollie is recuperating. And if putting up with temper tantrums from her boss wasn’t enough, his rehab roommate, Gardner Scatterwell, is a shameless flirt.
But when Scatterwell dies unexpectedly in the night, Ollie is convinced it wasn’t from natural causes. He gives Sunny a new assignment—find out who killed the old tomcat.
And speaking of cats, Shadow, Sunny’s feline partner in crime, takes a peculiar interest in the rehab’s resident angel of death—a calico cat called Portia, with an uncanny talent for cozying up to patients right before they pass away. Together, Sunny and Shadow will have to nose out clues to discover if Portia’s jinx had anything to do with Gardner’s passing—or if all his catting around finally got him fixed.
