Initially, I wasn't sure I'd want to finish this one. The basic premise, Nela is there to work at her sister's job while her sister is gone on vacation - was just so silly I wasn't sure I could suspend disbelief long enough to roll with it.
But I decided to just assume Nela was like a new employee and just move on. Of course, I loved Jugs and his addition to the story. I thought the mystery was cute and obvious but still fun to sort through. I was entertained with this audio book and I'm glad I finished it.

First book in this new series featuring Nela Farley. It was a fun, quick read and I look forward to more of this character. It was the first book I've read by Carolyn Hart--will have to try more of her books.

The premise of this cozy was really fun - a woman who can hear a cat's thoughts. I've read a lot of her books in her other series, and have always enjoyed them. I particularly enjoyed the creativity in this one.

The cat psychic part was fun. There needed to be a little more development of that. The rest was pretty much fluff.

I used to read everything Carolyn Hart wrote. There were two things that should have led me to skip this one, but I ignored them. 1. It was published by Berkley Prime Crime, not her usual William Morrow (Step down? Right? I don’t really know publishing) and 2. “Ever since the death of her fiancé, Nela Farley has found herself plagued by a sixth sense: She understands the thoughts of cats when she looks into their eyes.”
It was awful. Really awful. Besides the whole cat thing, it was just a bad book all around. The mystery was boring and the love story was ridiculous.
“If you were smart” – her voice caught in her throat – “you’d stay away from me.”
“Not,” he said quietly, “in this lifetime.”
COME ON.

This was a test run on downloading ebooks from our library's Overdrive collection, chosen fairly randomly. It was...ok. There were a lot of "wait, wasn't that in the filing cabinet not the desk?" things that made the mystery part a little jumpy, and the psychic-with-cats-only was weird. Also, I knew whodunnit about a third of the way in, and when I say I knew, I mean I knew: knew who, knew why, knew how. Apparently, I know a think or two about meanness and jealousy.

I'd give this 2.5 stars if I could. Hart is a smooth writer who's often fun to read, and this book is no exception. The "gimmick" (which I won't reveal) is potentially intriguing but isn't developed well. These characters often feel formulaic--I could see the romance coming from 500 miles away. Which isn't necessarily a terrible thing for readers who want a cozy mystery. If you're a fan of Hart's other books, you'll likely enjoy this one.
