**FELINE FICTION FIX** Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library #264 featuring **A Not So Purrfect Culprit ~ A Cotswold Cat Familiar Cozy Mystery Book 2** By D. Watts **PLUS** Friendly Fill-Ins

Hello gorgeous library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ 

Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today and have I got an epic throwback for mew today!

 I'm the last remaining memfur of the Crotchety Cougars, and so I thought I'd share this really fun photo I found while looking for a cute picture for today.

This was taken on my official enrollment in October 2017 after pawesome Auwnty Ellen from 15&Meowing sent me a meautiful knitted hat to welcome me to the tribe, when I was much chubbier and my chest fur was a lot smoother and oodles more fluffy.

Ahhh those were the days, and all those furbulous excursions we went on, obviously I'm sworn to secrecy as what happened in the Crotchety Cougars stays in the Crotchety Cougars! MOL

But I will say this, it was EPICALLY EPIC!

Anyhoo, let's look at this weeks top book pick.

Today the P.A. is also joining in Friday Fill-ins Blog Hop with the pawesome 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

1. Wouldn’t it be nice if __________________________.

2. I don’t mind buying used ______________________.

3. I have a strange habit of _________.

4. I have enough ________ to last a lifetime.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could just get along. We live in the best of times, with the best of facilities and opportunities, yet some peeps just want to be difficult and create wars, pan--demics and all other manner of global atrocities, when in reality they don't need to happen. It makes no sense to me on any level, when there is more than enough to go around. 

2. I don’t mind buying used clothes, in fact I absolutely love finding a vintage bargain, my last purchase was a 1990s Mondi cropped jacket from Ebay. Used furniture too is also very welcome, as I love to paint furniture and have done for over 30 years. 

3. I have a strange habit of ________.  To be honest I don't really have any strange habits, although some others might beg to differ! LOL 

4. I have enough knitwear to last a lifetime. See last weeks fill-ins! LOL Plus if anything gets holey or damaged, I repair it. I'm the same with sewing buttons on, repairing zippers, tailoring things to fit. I can't imagine not being able to sew a button on, or repair things. Mend and keep it forever! LOL

This week's top book pick is...

A Not So Purrfect Culprit 

 A Cotswold Cat Familiar Cozy Mystery Book 2

by

D. Watts

       Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

Following the thread too far could lead to a cat-astrophe … On the heels of opening her crystal jewellery shop in the English village, along with a new snarky familiar, debut witch, Felicity Knight now finds herself pursued by the animal doc, Benedict Vincent. He’s quite the catch despite him being a creature of the night and all. Life is good for Felicity until another homicide throws everything off kilter.

Benedict’s bloodsucking friend, Raphael, has plenty of enemies, so when he’s found murdered, things get predictably messy. Felicity would prefer to keep a distance while exploring her newfound elemental powers, but with Benedict pegged as the chief suspect, someone has to vindicate the vet before it’s too late.

This is book two in the series, to see the review for book one, click here. 

This week I decided to continue a series I started last year, and picked up A Not So Purrfect Culprit, the second book in the Cotswold Cat Familiar Cozy Mystery series by D. Watts, and I must say, I was thoroughly entertained! Set in the quaint English village of Agnes, this book had everything I look for in a cozy mystery: a charming setting, a cast of quirky characters, and a puzzling paranormal whodunit that kept me guessing until the very end.

The story follows our amateur sleuth and newbie witch Felicity, and her talking magical cat, Atticus, as they unravel the mystery surrounding a murder of a vampire. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of suspects. The plot was well-paced and kept me engaged from start to end, with plenty of twists and turns to keep me turning those pages.

But what really is fun. is Atticus the talking cat, mew know how much I love a talking cat in a series. He's a clever, magical and mischievous feline with a wicked sense of humor, and he had me chuckling out loud with his witty remarks and clever observations. I also appreciated how the author incorporated magic and paranormal elements into the story without overpowering the mystery.

Overall, A Not So Purrfect Culprit was a delightful read that had me eagerly turning the pages. I think this book is purrfect for any cozy cat paranormal mystery fans, cat lovers, or anyone looking for a fun and engaging read. I can't wait to see what adventures Felicity, Atticus and Co get up to next!

 I can't wait to read the next installment in the series, of which there are five in total, and they are all available on Kindle Unlimited if mew're a subscriber!
