This is the first in a series by Sofie Ryan which is a pen name for Sofie Kelly who writes the Magical Cat series. First off, the Magical Cat series is my top favorite cozy series mainly because of the cats, Owen and Hercules. The personalities are great that she gives to each one and she has done the same with in this new series.

Elvis is the star cat that we meet and he has personality to boot. He has a scar on his nose that makes you know that he has an interesting past but no one knows exactly where he has come from. Sarah, the main character and amateur detective for the series, is who he has chosen to make his home with. She owns and runs Second Chance resale shop. You will also meet several friends from her childhood that have their own quirky characters, Rose, Liz, and Charlotte. Working in the shop you will meet Avery and Mac who round out a great working environment. Let's not forget about Mr. P who lives in a senior home and ends up being too funny.

The mystery portion was strong enough for me but others might not agree. I didn't guess who did it but didn't put a lot of thought into trying to guess either.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and can't wait for the next one to come out which I saw posted yesterday is tentatively titled "BUY A WHISKER".
