BY CAROLYN HART
ABOUT THE BOOK:
National bestselling author Carolyn Hart presents the
story of a woman with a curious ability that drops her
headfirst into a world of intrigue and
murder...
Since her fiancé’s death, Nela Farley has been plagued by a sixth sense: She understands the thoughts of cats. In desperate need of a distraction, Nela agrees to substitute for her sister, Chloe, at her job for a charitable foundation. Chloe has even arranged a place for her sister to stay. But when Nela encounters the previous tenant’s cat, she gets a flash of thought: “. . . dead and gone . . . She loved me . . . skateboard on the step . . .”
Nela wants to ignore what the cat saw, but the idea that the death of former tenant Marian Grant wasn’t an accident is something she can’t ignore. And when a detective becomes suspicious of Nela’s sister and a second murder occurs, Nela realizes she’ll have to make the most of her unwanted ability before she meets her own untimely end...

Since I seem to be "owned" by several cats here, I can relate to understanding cats. I would really like to read this book, and see how the cats help her solve this mystery.

The idea of understanding the thoughts of cats is fascinating! Do they really think like the cartoons show us or do they think like people? Such fun - must read! :)

On her web site, I saw the list of the different series she writes and was surprised to see that somehow I'd missed a new Bailey Ruth episode.

I think it's so cool that Nela can understand cats. I sure wish I could. Dogs, too. It would make my life easier. This story sounds like fun.
