Curiosity Thrilled the Cat

Book by Sophie Kelly

The story is a really good first- person murder mystery. It is set in a quaint town where our main character, Katharine, has just moved. She has chestnut brown, very short hair and blue eyes. She is also head librarian for the only library in town.

When she goes to the theater to get someone to help her assemble the new chairs in the computer lab. When she finds the dead body of Gregor Easton, a famous composer!

 One of her cats jumps into her bag on the way to work, she finds out that Hercules (her cat) can walk through walls! She soon discovers that her other cat, Owen, can turn invisible!

 On her next workday, she suffers a myriad of injuries from getting shocked by an electrical outlet to getting hit on the shoulder by falling plaster. Katherine and her friends, Violet and Maggie tail the building manager to find out that he is in love with the last head librarian.

 She contacts Gregor Easton’s ex-girlfriend and she sends Katharine the picture of the music class that she and Easton were both in.

 In the evening Will Redfern (the building manger) confronts her about his relationship with the ex-head librarian and threatens to kill her if she doesn’t leave. He hints about killing Easton.

 When the music class picture arrives, Violet is in the picture. Katharine confronts Violet and she confesses. It turns out Easton took inappropriate photos of all the girls in the music class except her and then ruined their reputations and he invited Violet to the theater and tried to convince her to pose and she pushed him and the floor was concrete so he died when his skull connected with the ground. Violet didn’t mean to kill him.

 Case closed. I really liked this book but it was a bit inappropriate so I recommend it to ages 15+.

 I really liked this book because it’s a mystery and also fantasy. Another reason I liked it is because it was very misleading and you can try theories but it’s best to just enjoy and keep your hands and feet inside the ride. The last reason I liked it is because there was no irony. Irony is confusing.
