Frankie Chandler’s best friend, Penny, is getting married, which spells the end of Frankie’s social life. To make matters worse, the wedding will take place on an Alaskan cruise ship - or as Frankie calls it, a floating deathtrap. All she can think about is the icy, black water below, at least until shipboard entertainer Marvelous Marv falls to his death. The verdict is accident. Marv must have tripped over one of his performing cats while taking them for an evening walk. When one of the kitties sends Frankie an image that suggests murder, she finds help solving the crime from two surprise passengers: former murder suspect Sonny Street and one-time potential date, Detective Martin Bowers.
Jacqueline Vick has written another in her Pet Psychic Mystery series and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. “An Almost Purrfect Murder,” will keep you reading until the very end when all is revealed. It’s a delightfully well thought out story. The witty protagonist and her friends become our friends too. It’s also refreshing to read a story that I can recommend to my family and friends, not concerned about inappropriate behavior (though there are several romantic moments) or language. It’s kind of a step back to older detective stories that were good because of their clever writing.
If you’re looking for a mystery series to read, this is a good one to choose. I’ll be starting the next in the series as soon as possible.
