Stable Cat by Garrison Allen

5.0

The third book I read, this one is fun too. We see more of the oddball residents of Empty "By God" Creek, Arizona while Penelope tries to find out who swiped the champion horse and got hers too!

Royal Cat by Garrison Allen

5.0

I read Royal Cat, the third book first while I was in Australia.

Royal Cat is the first one I read and the idiosyncrasies (especially the sexual pecadillios of the residents of Empty Creek) make the books. For such a small community there sure is a lot of activity: Horse Days, Elizabethan Faire...
