Cats Can’t Shoot-Review/Giveaway + Bonus Cat Pics
Our feline reviewers are taking Sunday off to do some snooping and crime solving in the garden. There are moles involved and not the kind in spy novels.
I suspect it has something to do with not being paid for their services. Isn’t caviar cake sufficient payment? Merlin is not amused.
If you like cats who help solve crimes in books of a noirish nature, Cats Can’t Shoot by Clea Simon might be up your alley. Pru Marlowe is a psychic animal behaviorist by day and unwitting crime solver by night with help from her droll but insightful cat Wallis. The prolific Ms. Simon’s voice and pacing is more than a nod to Raymond Chandler’s gumshoe Philip Marlowe.
When a wealthy man is killed, the #1 suspect ( literally with a smoking gun) is his Persian cat but cats can’t shoot or can they? Ballsy Pru who is chummy with the local police, helps unravel whether the death was an accident or murder most foul. Truth be told, I’m not a huge fan of this genre but having cats who talk to animal communicators is enough of a selling point for me.
If you’d like to win a copy of Cats Can’t Shoot, simply leave a comment any time until midnight Oct 27. The winner will be announced next Sunday when we have an extra special treat in store.

Thanks for offering another cool giveaway Layla. This book sounds intriguing. I too am not a big fan of mysteries but this one looks good since a cat is the main character of the book. I wonder now if cats can shoot. I would love to read this book and find out for sure.

We thought we’d throw our hat into the ring for the Clea Simon mystery book. Kitties are so smart… I bet they solve the mystery quickly and expose the bad guy(s)!!!

Not really my genre either, but Merlin’s “no” pic is a hoot 🙂
Clea Simon
Thank you so much for giving my “Cats Can’t Shoot” a read! This is Pru’s (and Wallis the tabby’s) second outing, by the way. The first is “Dogs Don’t Lie” (although Wallis isn’t sure about that). The third, “Parrots Prove Deadly,” will be out this spring. You can read excerpts of the first two (and my other kitty-centric mysteries) on my website at http://www.cleasimon.com
Thanks!
