Blog Tour & Giveaway: A Midwinter’s Tail by Sofie Kelly

Kathleen Paulson is snowed under running her library and caring for her extraordinary felines, Owen and Hercules. But when a fund-raiser turns deadly, she’ll have to add sleuthing to her already full schedule….

Winter in Mayville Heights is busy and not just because of the holidays. Kathleen is hard at work organizing a benefit to raise money for the library’s popular Reading Buddies program. She has her hands full hosting the event. And when a guest at the gala drops dead, her magical cats, Owen and Hercules, will have their paws full helping her solve a murder.

The victim is the ex of town rascal Burtis Chapman, but she hasn’t lived in the area in years. And though everybody is denying knowledge of why she was back in town, as Kathleen and her detective boyfriend, Marcus, begin nosing around, they discover more people are connected to the deceased than claimed to be. Now Marcus, Kathleen, and her uncanny cats have to unravel this midwinter tale before the case gets cold.

Jennifer’s Review of A Midwinter’s Tail

Review (4.5 Stars):  I love Hercules and Owen and they happen to be two of my favorite literary cats around. I have been a big fan of this series ever since I read Curiosity Thrilled the Cat and was first introduced to these lovely animals and their sweet owner, Kathleen Paulson. In A Midwinter’s Tail, Kathleen is organizing a fundraiser at the library to benefit her popular children’s program, Reading Buddies.  During the festivities, a guest drops dead as a result of an allergic reaction to one of the delicious treats and now Kathleen and her magical kitties need to help solve the case to help clear a friend’s name.

I loved this mystery from beginning to end.  I love the fact that Kathleen is the town librarian and I have always found it entertaining being able to spend time with her during the course of her day-to-day activities. A Midwinter’s Tail is a delightful addition to an already magical series that I hope will continue for many years to come.  I adore Hercules and Owen’s entertaining antics and the mystery had me guessing until the very end. Looking forward to reading the next book in this fun series.
