kitty kitty bang bangKitty Kitty Bang Bang by Sparkle Abbey is the third book in the “Pampered Pets” mystery series. Publisher: Bell Bridge Books, December 2012

Someone may have committed the purr-fect crime.

Caro Lamont, Laguna Beach’s most sought after pet therapist, is back with more coddled cats and pampered pooches. Unfortunately, her human neighbor, Kitty Bardot, has apparently used up her nine lives and Caro’s nose for trouble lands her in the middle of a murder investigation. Will Caro claw her way out of this one? Or – well – you know what they say about curiosity and the cat.

You know you have a fun book when all of a sudden you’re laughing out loud on the subway. This was both an entertaining and engaging read that I devoured as fast as I could. I enjoyed the way the mystery played out for all parties and I especially enjoyed April Mae June (you gotta love a person with this name). With a likable and quirky cast of characters and nice banter, this was one of the best book in this delightfully charming series.
