Cats in Mystery Novels

I love cats. I love to read. A good book, a glass of wine, snacks, a comfy chair, and a cat or 2 or 3 around me, is my idea of the perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon. Mysteries are my favourite light reading, especially cat mysteries. Sometimes the cats are the detectives, sometimes they just give the main character/amateur detective a cat sign language point in the right direction. Whether they are the star of the book or the "Dr. Watson", they always add the extra flavour that makes the novel more enjoyable. One of my favourite authors is Shirley Rousseau Murphy but there is enough variety of cats and cat mystery novels to keep all us cat lovers reading through this century. Have a look at some that are on offer right now.
