If you like mysteries and you love cats, there's a series called "A Sunny and Shadow Mystery" - and I recently enjoyed the first book called "Last Licks" by Claire Donally.
Sunny Coolidge is a newspaper reporter with a cat named Shadow, and a boyfriend who is a local police officer. When Sunny's boss gets sidelined by an injury and put in a rehab facility - they all get embroiled in a mystery when they learn of a high mortality rate in the place. There's also a cat who seems to know who is going to pass away next!
I enjoyed the book and the characters of Sunny, Will (her boyfriend), the grumpy boss, and Sunny's dad. The mystery had some twists and a surprise turn, too. As much as I like the cat aspect, I got lost when the author tried to explain things from the cat, Shadow's perspective- I thought it would have been better without it - but overall I enjoyed it.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Sniffing out a murderer…
When Sunny Coolidge’s curmudgeonly boss, Oliver Barnstable, lands in rehab after breaking his leg, Sunny is stuck shuttling between their offices in Kittery Harbor, Maine, and the facility where Ollie is recuperating. And if putting up with temper tantrums from her boss wasn’t enough, his rehab roommate, Gardner Scatterwell, is a shameless flirt.
But when Scatterwell dies unexpectedly in the night, Ollie is convinced it wasn’t from natural causes. He gives Sunny a new assignment—find out who killed the old tomcat.
And speaking of cats, Shadow, Sunny’s feline partner in crime, takes a peculiar interest in the rehab’s resident angel of death—a calico cat called Portia, with an uncanny talent for cozying up to patients right before they pass away. Together, Sunny and Shadow will have to nose out clues to discover if Portia’s jinx had anything to do with Gardner’s passing—or if all his catting around finally got him fixed.
