Welcome to this week's edition of Tortie Shorties on Mystery Monday!
We hope you enjoy our choices.
Tortie Shorties Review: Kathi Daley's Whales and Tails mystery series never disappoints. In A Tale of Two Tabbies, Cait stumbles upon a cat locked in a confessional booth during choir practice at St. Patrick's Catholic Church. The kitty is identified as Sydney, belonging to Theresa Lively, who is noticeably absent from practice, so Cait and Cody decide to return Sydney to her home. At Theresa's house they discover it ransacked and Theresa missing, but it's not long before she turns up dead in the trunk of her car. Sydney leads Cait to a very important clue: a notebook with mysterious letters and numbers that point towards a blackmailing scheme, one of which hits extremely close to home for Cait.
Each book in this series is a stand-alone, but I would highly recommend reading it in order. Each book builds upon the relationships between the characters, and this one in particular marks a very important life decision for Cait's beloved Aunt Maggie, owner of Harthaven Cat Sanctuary.

From the publisher: Josie Rizzo has a lot on her plate. (Double bacon cheeseburger not included) She and her furry companion, Petey, set out to start fresh in the food loving town of Greenville. Josie is excited to introduce the readers of her food blog to the town's delicious creations. But when a young woman is murdered at a local burger joint, Josie must sacrifice all she has planned to accomplish to prevent a person from her past from being wrongly accused of the woman's death. And things start to heat up when the killer sets his sights on Josie. Will she be able to enjoy Greenville's belly-rubbing cuisines and begin a new chapter in her life? Or will the killer cut Josie's dreams short and make sure that basket of onion rings are her last?
Tortie Shorties Review: In the past couple weeks I've downloaded three books where the protagonist is a blogger. I just love that. None are pet bloggers though so maybe that would be a good way for me to merge my passions for blogging, animals and cozy mysteries!
In this one Josie is a food blogger with aspirations to write for the popular food magazine Forks and Knives. She's recently moved from her family home with her Welsh Corgi Petey to Greenville, a foodie paradise. While out to dinner with a friend she's shocked to see Tony Santino, a ghost from her past who disappeared following his parents' murder-suicide. When he becomes the main suspect in a murder they renew their friendship while planning to catch a killer.
This is a really fast, fun read with a killer twist at the end. I can't wait to see what's next for Josie, Tony, and Petey (of course!)
