Sixty-something cat shelter volunteer Lynley Cannon always finds more trouble than a cat in catnip, but this time it’s not about her. Someone is targeting very senior citizens, and when Bea Landrew, elderly owner of the Blue Cat café turns up dead, Lynley’s mom Carol could be next. Handsome Detective Devon is looking for a link between the victims when he makes a different sort of connection— with Lynley! It’s been a long time since the cat lady had romance in her life, but while her mom is in danger, the case comes first. It appears the cat café will go the way of its deceased owner, but Bea’s grandson, a slick Miami businessman, steps in at the last minute. Arthur is not a cat person so why would he bother? Romeo, the big Russian Blue, senses ulterior motives, but who will listen to a cat? A black cat rescue, a discovered photograph, an elaborate payback. Is this killer seeking justice or vengeance? With death as the objective, the results are the same.

Review

...Hunt packs in the charm with the usual humor, heart, and kitty love that made each of the previous books so delightful. Cat Café is an emotional mystery about family and secrets with a shocking turn of events, tragedy, and a look at the past. ~Liz Konkel, 5-Star Review from Readers' Favorite

This book will test your observational skills anddeductive reasoning...These characters have additional depth and personality.
~Laura's Interests

It's a fast-pacedintriguing story. There were so many different ways it could have gone and Iwasn't sure where it was heading until almost the end.
~Socrates' Book Reviews...

The characters are greatand make this one a great read.

Cat Café was awarded the World's Best Cat Litter-Ary Award at the 25th annual Cat Writers'Conference this year as well as a CWACertificate of Excellence.

About the Author

Native Oregonian Mollie Hunt has always had an affinity for cats, so it was a short step for her to become a cat writer. Mollie is the author of the Crazy Cat Lady Cozy Mystery Series as well as a non-cat mystery, Placid River Runs Deep, which delves into murder, obsession, and the challenge of chronic illness in bucolic southwest Washington. Two of her short cat stories have been published in anthologies. Mollie is a member of the Oregon Writers' Colony, Sisters in Crime, Willamette Writers, and the Cat Writers' Association. She has won four CWA Muse Medallions for her work. Mollie lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and a varying number of cats. Like Lynley, she is a grateful shelter volunteer.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Cat Writer Mollie Hunt is the award-winning author of two cozy series: the Crazy Cat Lady Mysteries featuring a sixty-something cat shelter volunteer who finds more trouble than a cat in catnip, and the Tenth Life Paranormal Mysteries involving a ghost cat. Her Cat Seasons Sci-Fantasy Tetralogy presents extraordinary cats saving the world. She recently released a COVID memoir which she calls, "a tale of a plague and politics, of depression and inspiration, and an ode to the very real and healing presence of cats." In her spare time, she pens a bit of cat poetry as well.

Mollie is a member of the Oregon Writers’ Colony, Sisters in Crime, the Cat Writers’ Association, Willamette Writers, and Northwest Independent Writers Association (NIWA). She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and a varying number of cats. Like her cat lady character, she is a grateful shelter volunteer.

Praise for Mollie Hunt, Cat Writer:

“I know Mollie as a true, dyed-in-the-wool cat person, as a cat guardian and a foster parent and, most importantly, as a human being. One thing I can spot a mile away is true passion... and Mollie Hunt has it. People like Mollie are rare in this world because they infuse their own curiosity… with true empathy... the recipe for not only a quality person, but, in the end, a great artist as well.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Was the death suspicious? And where are the black kitties?
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020

When an active elderly manager of a cat café dies suddenly, Lynley Cannon feels the death was too unexpected to be natural. Shelter personnel who come to reclaim the kitties find that all the black cats are gone, with no records of adoptions or transfers. Lynley begins to try to find those cats.

Lynley lives with cats, fosters cats, and volunteers at a cat rescue facility. Everyday moments of her life with cats, cat-inspired descriptions, and cat facts at the beginning of each chapter all help make this mystery a realistic portrayal of a community and its animals, and a pleasure to read for those of us who are feline enthusiasts.

Portland, Oregon, is a place I've never been. Hunt shows readers an appealing city of Victorian buildings, small shops with friendly staff, and fascinating inhabitants. But even against this charming backdrop, the reader's sense of unease builds throughout the story. When the autopsy confirms the murder, and as Lynley sorts through twists and turns, you know she's moving closer and closer to danger as she looks deeper into the mystery. But long-kept secrets and the identity of that dangerous perpetrator stay well hidden until the revelation near the end.

I've read and enjoyed most of Mollie Hunt's The Crazy Cat Lady Cozy Mystery Series and I look forward to reading more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mystery, cats, a touch of romance just that little bit later in life...
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2020
I read the first Crazy Cat Lady Cozy Mystery some while ago, and I really should read the rest. But jumping forward to Cat Café made for a very satisfying second read. The story’s set in a recognizable part of Portland Oregon. The characters could be neighbors and friends. The cats are wonderful. And the mystery makes for curious fun.

Sixty-something-year-old cat lady, Lynley Cannon, is dismayed at the death of her mother’s friend. But when it seems like her mother is also in the killer’s sights, she’s determined to protect her. Of course, Mom would rather protect herself. But luckily there’s a handsome detective willing to offer help.

Adding a touch of romance and history to the mystery, and promising the cat café will live on (we Portlanders dare thrilled that our cat café reopened) makes for an enticing blend of real life believability and mysterious surprise. The novel stands alone perfectly. The characters are fun. The cats will surely be saved. And the mystery really will keep you guessing till fairly close to the end. I really enjoyed it.

So… books 2 through 4 on this year's Christmas list?

Disclosure: I met the author and was delighted to get a copy of her latest book.

This is a great addition to Mollie Hunt's cat-centric series. Crazy cat lady Lynley Cannon loses an elderly friend, owner of the local cat cafe, but when the cafe's black cats go missing, murder suspicions grow. Lynley complains about her advancing age but she can still take a punch and keep going if a cat's welfare is at stake. Filled with helpful and informative cat care tips, the story takes us to more of the quirky and beautiful spots in Portland and around Oregon.

A fun and unique series with memorable characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this one
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2018
Cat mom, Lynley Cannon, is horrified to learn that the elderly owner, Bea Landrew, of the local Cat Cafe is dead. Originally the cops think it was suicide, but Lynley’s mother had been a close friend of Bea’s and knows she would never have taken her own life. Lynley and her mother decide to do some investigating on their own. They do make a formidale pair of amateur sleuths.

It’s not long before they discover other senior citizens have met the same fate. The handsome detective on the case warns Lynley that her mother could very well be the next target. As Lynley protects her mother, she finds herself attracted to the detective. She can’t let that get in the way of a killer, though.

This is the fifth book in the “Crazy Cat Lady” mystery series. I haven’t read any other books in the series, but I do want to. I just couldn’t resist when the opportunity arose to review this one since I’m often called a crazy cat lady. LOL I didn’t feel lost when reading this book as there was quite a bit of information sprinkled throughout the book to help keep me up to date.

This book has plenty of cats in it - the more the merrier, I always say. They do have a part in the story, but they aren’t magical or anything like that but their presence is felt.

It’s a fast-paced intriguing story. There were so many different ways it could have gone and I wasn’t sure where it was heading until almost the end. I was very surprised to find out who the killer was and why. It all fell nicely into place by the end.

I definitely intend to catch up on this series. It’s well written with interesting characters. Another page turner for me.

I am sorry I missed the first 5. Cat Cafe was a fun read. Adding those other 4 to my Santa please list!
I enjoyed the theme and the locale.
The characters are great and make this one a great read.
The plot/story line makes for a fast paced read that might keep you
guessing and turning the pages all the way to the end.
Written as a standalone but you'll probably want to read the others.

I received a complimentary copy.
My review will appear on retail sites and good reads.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cosy Cat Mystery and well worth the read.

OK so this is book five, and I have to say that it does not disappoint. Lynley, the central character, seems never far from danger–this time it also encompasses her family too. Add a healthy dose of cats from a cat cafe, a secret or two and old friends and we have the perfect setting for murder, suspense and a mystery that will have you reaching for the phone to dial 911. I won't give away any more of the plot as this is the best book to date, and spoilers would ruin the fun. Mollie Hunt has really developed the characters to the point where we can think of them as friends and enjoy their interaction. Coupled with original situations, and a passion for cats and writing, this book and series make a welcome and satisfying read and would not be out of place in anyone's Christmas stocking!
