“Clea Simon stays very true to cat psychology throughout these books despite their fantastic premise. In fact, a large part of the series’ charm comes from the cats and their idiosyncratic view of Becca’s doings. Humans are portrayed with no less affection: it’s pretty great when Becca’s human friends come into the picture, and especially the other members of her coven. When the coven and the cats come together, the results embody the kind of gentle humor that permeates this novel, lightening the darkness of murder and associated crimes…

The second installment of the Witch Cats Of Cambridge Series builds on the first to deepen its mythology as well as expand on Becca’s life in contemporary Massachusetts. I very much enjoyed the gradual yet assured world-building, as Clara and her sisters do their best to keep their person out of trouble, even if she will insist on solving murders. It’s a sweet fantasy of magical cats helping to find out whodunnit that’s perfect for a few hours of cozy escapism.”
