CatnappedCatnapped by Patricia Fry is the first book in the “Klepto Cat” mystery series. Publisher: Matilija Press, November 2013

When Savannah Jordan agrees to help her aunt while she recovers from a broken foot, she doesn’t expect to walk into a mystery, become part of a not-quite-legal surveillance team, be kidnapped by a deranged stranger and meet a steaming hot veterinarian. Beloved neighborhood cats are missing—the community can only guess at their fate—and Aunt Margaret’s life is being threatened. Is it because she has a clue to the missing cats or is it something more sinister?

This was a great introduction to Savannah and her friends with an engaging premise that was fun to read. I enjoyed the style and the ease at which this light mystery flowed from scene to scene, keeping me in suspense as the drama played out. There were some moments there that had me quickly turning the pages to see that all ended well and it did. I also enjoyed the blossoming relationships between several of the characters. This was an entertaining read and I’m glad I discovered this series.
