Librarian Kathleen Paulson should be preparing for her wedding with detective Marcus Gordon. Instead, she’s caught up in another mystery. Will Redfern, the original contractor for the library renovations, went to prison after assaulting Kat. Now he’s out and wants a second chance. Kat agrees to meet with him at the library, but on arrival at their rendezvous, she finds his body; it looks like he was trying to steal a painting. No one in town has a good word to say for Will, but Kat decides to investigate. She soon learns the painting might have been stolen six years ago. How did the painting end up at the library, and why does someone break into Kat’s house? Owen and Hercules, her magical cats, try to warn Kat off the case. But it’s Marcus’s reckless attempt to help that endangers the couple.
VERDICT Although the 16th in Kelly’s “Magical Cats Mystery” series (after Paws To Remember) is, like the others, a cozy mystery, it’s also a story of chosen family. Fans of the series and romantic cozies will enjoy the wedding and “happily ever after” premise.
