Normally this series pace is a bit slower; this entry picked up the pace and I believe was a little shorter. It settled some story arcs, though there is still a significant mystery out there. Reading these in order is like coming to meet old friends - the characters grow and change over time and events. Even though the subject matter can be a bit dark (serial killer dark), the author keeps a sense of humor with her protagonists. Especially Louie, who is resourceful and funny, getting himself into situations which make sense for a cat, and getting out of them - again - with cat behavior that the humans do not realize is helping them. I am enjoying each book. These can be a challenge to find but they are worth the trouble!

strawberrypinch's review against another edition
2.0
My rating is a little unfair because this is book 14 in a series and I didn't read the first 13. I picked this up out of a little free library because the premise seemed amusing. I think I would be annoyed reading the whole series because nothing much actually HAPPENS: The protagonists make some minor progress on the overarching mystery, a lot of things almost happen, and there's a bit of a cliffhanger at the end. I had fun scoffing at the stilted writing and weird metaphors littered throughout, but overall I don't feel any need to read more of this series.

Midnight Louie is extremely busy with all the stuff going on in his human's life. And all the intrigue involving Max. Also, Midnight Louise is really getting to him. But keeping his human out of trouble and safe is a real problem.
I wish the first of these books would come out on nook. I'm kind of in the middle of the series and although Douglas does an excellent job on keeping you up to date with the backgrounds of her characters, there is still some confusion about exactly what has happened previously. I'd like to read it for myself.
