The life of a cat groomer isn’t just pampering purring felines, it's murder. 

Mobile Cat Groomer Molly Stewart loves her job. Until she finds the dead body of one of her pet parents stabbed with a garden implement in his back yard. When Molly’s uncle Russ becomes the prime suspect in the murder and the sheriff won’t consider anyone else, Molly claws through obstacles as she prowls for clues. 

With help from handsome veterinarian Hank Chenowith and Molly’s two cats, Percival and Jasper, will Molly succeed in proving her uncle’s innocence before the real murderer pounces on her?

My Review:

Brushed Up On Murder was a fantastic first book in the new Mobile Cat Groomer Mystery series. I loved the author's writing style. The author introduces a fun cast of characters and a wonderful setting. I enjoyed Molly's character and her occupation. Cozies with pets are my favorite and I adore felines so having a pair of cats was right up my alley. I loved Percival and Jasper.

The author did a great job introducing a viable assortment of suspects. Each one had means, motive, and/or opportunity. Full of twists and turns, Brushed Up On Murder kept me on the edge of my seat as I attempted to solve the murder with Molly. I look forward to the next book.

I was provided a copy of this book to read.

My Rating:


About Ruth J. Hartman:

 

Ruth J. Hartman spends her days herding cats and her nights spinning mysterious tales. She, her husband, and their cats love to spend time curled up in their recliners watching old Cary Grant movies. Well, the cats sit in the people’s recliners. Not that the cats couldn’t get their own furniture. They just choose to shed on someone else’s. Ruth, a left-handed, cat-herding, farmhouse-dwelling writer uses her sense of humor as she writes tales of lovable, klutzy women who seem to find trouble without even trying. Ruth’s husband and best friend, Garry, reads her manuscripts, rolls his eyes at her weird story ideas, and loves her despite her insistence all of her books have at least one cat in them.
