Another amazing 5 star book by Kathi Daley. The Great Catsby is book 8 in the Whales and Tails series. A cozy series not to be missed. This book like all of the others grabs you from page one and has you hooked till the last page. I love that some characters from previous books have come back to Madrona Island, especially Ebenezer the mysterious cat. He has a knack for helping Cait solve mysteries as well as saving her from bad guys.
In this book Alex, a friend of Cait's has come back to Madrona Island a changed man. He has done a full 180 and is now quite frankly acting like a rich snob! That is until after one of his wild parties he ends up the prime suspect in the murder of a guest.
Besides Alex, Cait has a lot on her plate with her mom getting married and her sister Cassie not taking all the changes as well as her mom would like. YIKES! This is a touchy subject. Poor Cait. She is in the middle of everything but Ebenezer is here to help. This wonderful cat was introduced to us in The Cat of Christmas Past and is back to help. Before long Cait maybe over her head and Ebenezer maybe the only one who can save her from the real killer.
Grab your copy of this great series! You will love it! ( )

Characters from the past return but are not who they seem to be or who they were before.
While there is a murder, so much more is going on in this cozy built of layers and layers of mystery.

We have a missing dog, the sweet kids who keep Cait busy, and lots of romance, when there is a spare moment. Cait finds herself in the middle of everything and you know that when she thinks "what harm could it do..." she inevitability winds up in more danger.
There are a few extremely suspenseful passages that will have you holding your breath.
Thank goodness for Ebeneezer! ( )
