The Cat, The Lady And The Liar (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
In "The Cat, the Lady & the Liar", Jillian Hart while in the process of investigating the owner of a cat named Isis falls into another mystery as one of her compatriots comes up dead. From here another mystery involving a neighboring town & an entirely new set of characters come into play. Sweeney does a decent job with the plot & keeps us involved with our cast of characters in a way that keeps with a rather interesting theme. The plot itself is relatively quick & the cats themselves play a simplistic role like in previous novels. Overall a run of the mill novel in this genre. I have really tried to like this series. It has the cozy atmosphere, cats and quilts. But now that I have read this third installment, I have to concede that there is just something missing. My main problem with the books are the plots. The reasonings for the crimes are a little far fetched and really don't meld at all. This latest installment is the worst of it. You just can't believe the ending. It is not developed enough as plausible, and the cliched characters do not help in the matter. I don't think I will try again with this series.
