What do You think about Pawing Through The Past (2001)?
What can I say? These are my guilt pleasures. And as the cat mystery books go, this is another good one. The plot revolves around a high school reunion, a (strangely violent) event that occurred, and the people that have returned for the reunion. As usual, the plot is good, the dialog is quick and easy to fly through, and there's a pretty good twist at the end. ..After reading quite a few of these..I've started to wonder - doesn't anyone in town wonder why 3-4 people get murdered every few months?? I guess not. :)

This is a charming series. I have read most of them but not in order. Harry is divorced from her husband, Fair, the local veterinarian. She and the other women in the town are planning their high school reunion to be held in the high school building along with another class who will celebrate their 50th reunion. When the class lothario is found murdered the classmates have their hands full trying to solve the case while still holding a reunion. Of course, Mrs. Murphy and her animal henchmen are on hand to keep every human in line. These books are nice cozies that are easy to read but also very well written.

This entry into the Sneaky Pie series is a little different than the others. That is not a bad thing. Ms. Brown just out did herself in writing this one. I didn't see the end coming at all. Great going to the Browns, you did a wonderful job in hiding the killer and the why in this plot. I wished I could give this installment 6 stars, it is better than the previous books and they were very fun and entertaining. As with all of the author's installments in this series, the writing is tight and flows smoothly. The characters and dialog were very well developed. One thing too that I like about this series is that the author stays true to her characters. Ms. Brown understands the psychology of the inhabits of Crozet. She never lets them do anything that they shouldn't just to move the plot. This installment also introduces a new character, Tracy Raz. In my book, he is a welcomed addition to the Crozet clan. A nice father figure to Harry and companion to Miranda. I hope that he never moves away. Miranda needs some one to take care of and to love again. With the reunions, we get to see a different side to Harry. Harry does some mellowing and is starting to understand herself better. I do sense some changes in the air for her and the Crozet clan. I'm sure that The Browns will make these changes for the better. Because I'm sure that Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie love these characters as much as I do.
