Street Cat Blues
After spending several months banged up in Sunny Banks rescue centre, Aubrey, a large tabby cat, has finally found his forever home with Molly and Jeremy Goodman and life is looking good.
However, all that changes when a serial killer begins to target elderly victims in the neighbourhood. Aubrey wasn’t particularly upset by the death of some of the previous victims, including Miss Jenkins whom Aubrey recalls as a vinegar-lipped bitch of an old woman who enjoyed throwing stones at cats, but Mr Telling was different.

My review...
I do enjoy a warm and cosy mystery......a typical 'who done it' always manages to charm its way onto my TBR mountain and this little number is certainly no different. Told from the view point of Aubrey, a delightful rescue cat, this story takes a unique angle with extreme success.
Alison O'Leary's writing style pulls you firmly into the plot from the opening page and captures your attention right up until the concluding moment. The warm aura that surrounds this story is completely magical and I was entranced by the feline 'tail' that played out before my eyes.
This is anything but a simple sleuthing story and I admire how Alison addressed series topical issues with the right amount of wry humour to create a well balanced and thought out narrative. The world, according to Aubrey, was endearing with charm personified and I was sad to see this 'tail' come to an end.
Street Cat Blues is a remarkable mystery adventure with a side order of feline attitude. It's a well balanced and quirky set up that is not to be missed and I'm so pleased to have spent time with Aubrey and the gang.
Author Bio –
I was born in London and spent my teenaged years in Hertfordshire where I spent large amounts of time reading Agatha Christie novels and avoiding school. Failing to gain any qualifications in Science whatsoever, the dream of being a forensic scientist crashed and burned when a careers teacher suggested that I might like to work in a shop. Later studying Law, I decided to teach rather than go into practice and have spent many years working as a college lecturer teaching mainly Criminal Law to adults and young people.
I live on the south coast with my husband John and cat Archie. When not writing I enjoy crosswords, walking by the sea and drinking wine. Not necessarily in that order.
