Apocalypse Meow (Movie Club Mysteries, #7)
OUT NOW!
The seventh book in my Irish-set cozy mystery series is now available for pre-order at all major ebook stores.
“My descent to the Seventh Circle of Hell began with a lawn chair.”
When Maggie loses a lucrative contract for her P.I. agency due to an accidental full frontal flashing, she’s forced to accept the only other job on offer: one involving her nemesis, the pampered show cat, Quibbles. Maggie and her wacky associate Lenny are hired to escort Quibbles to the final round of auditions to become the face of a luxury cat food brand, Purrfect Paws.
Instead of the five-star hotel they were promised, Maggie and Lenny find themselves trapped in a run-down hostelry in the middle of a hurricane. To make matters worse, their fellow guests include five spoiled celebrity cats and their ruthlessly ambitious owners, all of whom are determined that their cat should be chosen as the face of Purrfect Paws.
And then a cat-astrophe strikes. One by one, the owners start dying. With the storm raging, and the body count rising, Maggie and Lenny are determined to find the killer before their inn turns into a morgue.
Can Maggie catch the killer or will her fur-midable opponent get the upper paw? Grab your copy today!

What I thought about Apocalypse Meow
Maggie
and Lenny are back with a story that pays homage to the "locked-room
mystery" where all the suspects and victims are together in one room,
and therefore the killer must be one of those in attendance. In
Apocalypse Meow, Maggie and Lenny are escorting their favorite feline,
Quibbles (who was featured in the previously book in the series), to a
cat contest that comes with considerable fame and fortune. When everyone
is forced to a new hotel, and one of owners turns up murdered, Lenny
and Maggie investigate the crime. A storm adds flavor and atmosphere to
the story.
I adore these two main characters and the trouble they
tend to get into when solving their cases. I also love the fact that
they are friends (not romantic) and that Lenny provides smile-inducing
moments and fashion whenever they are together, but he also knows how to
be serious and smart about their work. I really don't care so much
about what crime they are solving -- I just love spending time with the
two.
In Apocalypse Meow, Maggie and Lennie split up and question
the suspects to uncover the murderer. There are quite a few characters
who are inter -related in various ways, and Maggie's cousin Angel Doyle
is introduced as a new character in a spin-off series. I sure hope that
means Maggie and Lennie aren't retiring! Liam, Maggie's boyfriend and
fellow crime fighter is also involved with the solving of the crime and I
would have loved to have more of the three of them together.
Overall, this was a fun story with plenty of human and feline shenanigans.
