Careless Whiskers

Cat in the Stacks Mystery Series, Book 12

By: Miranda James

Narrated by: Erin Bennett

Charlie Harris has sworn off investigating murder and mayhem after a recent close call. Instead, he's delighted to cheer on his daughter, Laura, who's starring in a production of Careless Whispers. The theater department at Athena College is debuting the play written by a fledgling playwright with local connections, and Charlie's son-in-law, Frank Salisbury, will be calling the directorial shots.

Laura is upset to learn that Luke Lombardi, an overbearing actor she knew from her time in Hollywood, will also be taking part in the production as a guest artist. Lombardi arrives with an entourage in tow and promptly proceeds to annoy everyone involved with the production. When he collapses and dies on stage after drinking from a glass Laura handed him, she becomes the chief suspect in his murder.

Charlie knows his daughter is innocent, and he's not going to let anyone railroad his little girl. So, despite his intentions to put his amateur sleuthing days behind him, Charlie has to take center stage, and with Diesel's help, shine a spotlight on the real killer.

Love this series

Charlie, Helen Louise, and Diesel, along with the rest of the family make for easy listening.

Careless Whiskers

This book is very good and enjoyable and kept me guessing as to who the murders were.

Good episode in series

Good concentration on the theater aspects.. Enjoyable descriptions of Charlie’s efforts to stay a part of the investigation even when told to stay away from the reconstruction of the murder in the theater

Great story

kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who done it.
