I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley.
Mrs Pargeter finds herself supporting her friend Jasmine Angold at a social event in aid of a charity which brings feral cats from the Greek island of Atmos to new homes in the UK. Mrs P isn’t especially keen on cats or dogs but she is always interested in finding charities to support with her fortune.
However this event arouses her curiosity in ways the charity might not appreciate. Mrs P is no one’s fool and she can smell something not quite right about this charity. In addition she comes face to face to with a rather unpleasant woman who claims to be her late husband’s sister.
Not one to be deterred once she gets her teeth into something, Mrs P calls on all her resources to uncover what is going on and right a few wrongs in the process even though what she does might not be quite on the right side of the law. But Mrs P is always on the right side of justice and it is always good to help your friends and to bring the baddies to book.
I enjoyed reading this amusing crime novel. Mrs Pargeter is an interesting character who has some marvellous ways of sorting situations to her own satisfaction. There is plenty of humour in the story and some tense moments as well as Mrs P pits her wits against some very nasty people. This is an entertaining series and something a bit different from the usual.
