About this ebook

A friendly feline and a feisty librarian merrily roll along in the newest Bookmobile Cat mystery...until murder stops them in their tracks!

It's the summer season in Chilson, Michigan, and the town is packed with tourists ready for a fabulous Fourth of July fireworks show. Minnie Hamilton and her rescue cat, Eddie, have spent a busy day on the bookmobile, delivering good cheer and great reads to even the library's most far-flung patrons. But Minnie is still up for the nighttime festivities, eager to show off her little town to her visiting niece, Katrina.

But then, during the grand finale of the fireworks display, Katrina discovers a body. Minnie recognizes the victim as one of the bookmobile's most loyal patrons. And she knows she—and Eddie—will have to get to the bottom of this purr-fect crime.

Gone with the Whisker by Laurie Cass is the 8th A Bookmobile Cat Mystery. It can be read as a standalone if you have not read the prior books in the series or skipped a book or two. Gone with the Whisker contains good writing with friendly characters in a charming small town. Minnie Hamilton is happy to have her niece, Katrina—aka Kate—visiting for the summer. She did not count on the teenage attitude nor Kate’s addiction to her phone. Minnie is busy driving her bookmobile providing books and other materials to those who cannot make it to the library in town. After enjoying a day celebrating the Fourth of July and her birthday, Minnie and her family are heading home. Kate suddenly trips and then lets out a screech. She stumbled upon bookmobile patron, Rex Stuhler who dead from a gunshot. Minnie and her sidekick, Eddie begin delving into the case and providing helpful information to Detectives Wolverson and Inwood. When a second bookmobile patron ends up dead, Minnie believes the cases are connected. She needs to prove it and then find the killer so her niece will stop having nightmares. Minnie comes up with several suspects and a variety of theories with the help of her niece, Kate. I thought the mystery suited the town and relates to an ongoing problem in our country. The whodunit can be solved before the tense conclusion (earlier if you are an avid reader of the genre). I loved Eddie’s part in aiding Minnie. It is cute how Minnie talks to Eddie and he responds with his adorable “mrr”. Anyone who has cats can relate. It is a good thing Eddie is around when Minnie needs him. There are enjoyable cozy moments in the story as Minnie spends time with her family and friends. The ending of Gone with the Whisker is special and will leave you smiling. I am curious when Rafe will finish the house and who will end up winning the pool. I believe everyone in town has placed a bet on the finish date. Gone with the Whisker is a lighthearted cozy mystery with a fun feline, bundles of books, fabulous fireworks, tasty treats, a bustling bookmobile, and continuous construction.
