cries and whiskersSimon tugs at the heartstrings in the third Theda Krakow mystery. Theda is a freelance journalist who covers the club scene in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Despite her busy life, she has a hard time accepting change. Her boyfriend, a homicide detective, seems too dependent on her since he’s recuperating from a broken leg. Her best friend is talking about dropping out of school. One friend is pregnant, and one is avoiding her. Her work is her refuge, as she does a story on a new band, and looks into the death of woman who was trying to save feral cats.

Even more than her work, her cat, Musetta, is her refuge. As everything else falls apart around her, Musetta is there. Then, one day, something goes horribly wrong with Musetta. Theda becomes a desperate investigator, as she searches for the truth. Cat lovers, in particular, will identify and root for Theda Krakow in this book, the best in the series so far.  11/07 Lesa Holstine
