The 30th installment in Patricia Fry’s Klepto Cat Mysteries, this is one series that did not get better with age. The human characters are still busybody jerks, Rags the cat continues to ascend to messianic heights, and the plot is as flimsy and full of holes as ever. We can’t recommend this read, but grudgingly …
Episode 17: Revenge at its Felinest
Do you often wonder whether the anxieties of helpless women can be placated by fancy coffees? EPISODE 17 may have the answers you seek. Listen now for some true bullshit including dangerous mansplaining, co-parenting your cat, which shoes hookers might wear, never calling 911 when you should, the hillbillies of outer LA and the perils …
Episode 16: Curiosity Killed the Cat
Cats getting drunk. Wizard mafia. Cozy conspiracy bunkers. And one super chill, unflappable heroine. In Episode 16, Dana and Sunshine discover they have no talent for accents, but a lot to say about this cozy mystery by T.H. Hunter.
Curiosity Killed the Cat
Our first international cozy mystery, T.H. Hunter’s Curiosity Killed the Cat killed us with its wacky story and cat who just loves to party. This quick read hits many of our favorite cozy tropes (inheriting a mansion, a talking cat, lousy law enforcement) and gets four paws up from us. Listen to our recap of …

In this mini episode, we make our colleagues fill out some Cat Libs. Turns out we have some cozy mystery writers in our midst!
Curiosity Thrilled the Cat
For our 14th episode, we read Sofie Kelly’s Curiosity Thrilled the Cat.

Listen to our Curiosity Thrilled the Cat episode here.
Episode 14: Curiosity Thrilled the Cat

Episode 12: Murder Past Due
We’re back in cozy territory with Murder Past Due, a book about paternity scandals, inheritance fraud, and bringing your cat to a funeral. Despite a promising premise, Sunshine and Dana were underwhelmed by this college town cozy.
Murder Past Due
For episode 12, we checked out Miranda James’ Murder Past Due. Despite being full of sordid happenings (murder! scandal! questionable paternity tests!) it was kind of a snooze. Dull characters and a shaky plot twist hindered this book, but we did get a scene where a cat goes to a funeral! Listen to our Murder …
