When I was a little girl, I dreamed of growing up to be the president.

This is the debut of the Bookmobile Cat Mystery series. Minerva "Minnie" Hamilton is the associate director of the Chilson Library in tourist town Chilson, Michigan. She acquires Eddie, a silver tabby, after a visit to the local cemetery. Minnie has been instrumental in getting a local citizen to donate a quarter of a million dollars for a bookmobile. Minnie's maiden trip does not go as expected. First Eddie stows away in her backpack. Then her volunteer for the trip cancels. Things really take a downturn when Minnie finds a body and it is revealed to be Stan Larabee, the bookmobile's benefactor.

I enjoyed meeting the townspeople of Chilson. They were well written and easy to get to know. There were plenty of suspects in this small town. It proves that there is only a few degrees of separation between people. The description of the bookmobile made it come to life. I enjoyed the interaction between Minnie and Rafe. Minnie's life with Eddie is presented in such a way that you know the author is a cat owner...or rather owned by cats.

I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
