I picked this up recently at the Book Thing. This may go into a cat bookbox I'm thinking about doing later.

Amazon.com editorial review -
Nancy Pickard, Bill Pronzini, Herbert Resnicow, and others offer original mystery and suspense stories featuring cat crime-solvers and culprits in the third in a popular series.

Nearly 20 stories here by a variety of authors. Several of these stories are rather supernatural in tone, given the mysterious nature of cats. One of my favorites was Dumb Animals, where the cat (the narrator) outsmarts the dog.

This will soon be travelling in my Cat Stories bookbox.

Mailed out in my Cat Stories bookbox. Enjoy!

I love anthologies, so I'm taking this one from the Cat Stories bookbox. There's black humor here, such as in the delicious "Cat Got Your Tongue"; intricately planned thefts; nasty murderers (some of which get their comeuppance thanks to cats); supernatural stories, including "Cat House"; and light-hearted romps. (Also, sadly, a few Bad Things Happening To Cats, though punishment usually ensues. Usually.)

I was pleased to find a story by Mark Richard Zubro featuring Tom and Scott, the happily-married schoolteacher and baseball player (and sometime detectives) from his series of novels; "Next Year, Kankakee" has them experiencing a less-than-relaxing vacation.

I took this book to the Boston BCers Meetup at the Algiers coffeehouse in Cambridge MA. Enjoy!

I can't resist anything about cats. Thanks for bringing it to the meetup.
I'll have to be careful of the stories where bad things happen to cats, though :-(

It's still bittersweet to see MaryZee's name on a label; gives me a little jolt each time.

I have to admit, I'm a total wuss - I chickened out on reading these, because of Gory's "Bad Things Happening To Cats" warning. If only I knew which stories those were, I could read around them, but I think it best to bring it back to the meetup in hopes of finding a reader with more courage!

Planned for release at October Boston Bookcrossing Meetup.

Released for 2013 Tick Tock Challenge hosted by DragonGoddess, for the embedded "at".
