Black Cat White Paws

A Maggie Dahl Mystery

De: Mark McNease

Narrado por: Holly Palance

In Black Cat White Paws, recently widowed Maggie Dahl finds herself faced with challenges on all fronts: life alone in a new town, running a business she and her husband had dreamed of and started together, and now pursuing a killer. Her sister, Gerri, moves from Philadelphia to Lambertville, New Jersey, to support her sister and start a new life of her own. Together, the women search for a murderer, helped in critical ways by their neighbor’s cat. A black cat with white paws. A cat whose independence sets it all in motion and sees it through to the end.

Black Cat White Paws finds Maggie moving from New York City to Lambertville, an idyllic river town with artists, restaurants, incredible landscapes, and enough local characters to populate a murder mystery. Join Maggie, Gerri, Checks the cat, and a cast of colorful small town natives just as eager - and as shocked - to find a killer in their midst.

Delightful mystery

I fell in love with this book! Little old ladies that suddenly appear, but then die...and then the mystery of the cat. Anyone that has ever been loved by a cat know how special that is and in this case it is most important to the book itself!

Maggie Gets A Familiar

Before their dream of opening a jam store could come true her husband woke up dead. But efforts had been solidly under way and Maggie thought pushing through was the best tribute she could pay to her years of love and marriage. She's on her way to work when she finds her next door neighbor, borderline "Crazy Cat Lady," wandering around Maggie's living room in search of one of her cats. Twelve hours later Maggie finds the cat but discovers his owner dead. Murdered. In traditional cozy style she sets about tracking clues, becoming involved in the tragedies of yesteryear, annoying the police, and putting herself in harm's way. Topping it all off with catnip? narration by Holly Palance, who voices Maggie exactly as I would expect her to sound.

A classic who-done-it with a side of cat

I found myself sitting in the car in order to finish a chapter - classic definition of an engaging audiobook. The story has a variety of colorful characters (bonus cat character), emotional depth, and good dialogue. Kept me guessing until the end.

The performance provides a really delightful depth making the book particularly entertaining. I've listened to a lot of audiobooks and this performance is one of my favorites.

Good story

I have all of Mark's books as ebooks as well and I enjoy his writing very much. I listen to audiobooks in the car and this story is one that I really enjoyed.
Recommended.

Cozy Mystery with some Feline Help

I really enjoy cozy mysteries that incorporate some four legged helpers. I’m a cat lover so I specially enjoyed how helpful her neighbor’s cat was to solving this murder. There were some twists and turns that kept me guessing who could have done it and why.

Narration was good and brought the story to life.

I did think Maggie acted crazy at times! Most people would have been cautious when they think someone is a killer! Not her! She was diving head into the investigation and going after the killer alone!

The story was interesting and kept me interested and guessing all the way to the conclusion. I enjoyed how the story wrapped up nicely and we figured out how the disappearance was connected to the newest murder. People are not always what they seem!
