SIX CATS A SLAYIN' Cat in the Stacks, Book 10

Erin Bennett's stellar narration enhances this standout mystery, set in Athena, Mississippi, where librarian Charlie Harris, and Diesel, his cat, "work" in the university library. Just days before Christmas, Charlie finds five kittens at his door with a note asking him to care for them or they'll be drowned. Then, neighbor Gerry Albritton collapses and dies at her own holiday party. Charlie uses his Southern manners and charm to investigate when he learns Albritton was murdered. With the help of his friend Melba--whom Bennett bestows with a lovely drawl--Charlie unearths some old Athena secrets. Bennett's best creations are Tommy, the owner of the cats, whose intelligence and kindness are impressive, and Azalea Berry, Charlie's witty and all-knowing housekeeper. This audiobook is ideal for the holidays. S.G.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2018]
