Description

“My descent to the Seventh Circle of Hell began with a lawn chair.” When Maggie loses a lucrative contract for her P.I. agency due to an accidental full frontal flashing, she’s forced to accept the only other job on offer: one involving her nemesis, the pampered show cat, Quibbles. Maggie and her wacky associate Lenny are hired to escort Quibbles to the final round of auditions to become the face of a luxury cat food brand, Purrfect Paws. Instead of the five-star hotel they were promised, Maggie and Lenny find themselves trapped in a run-down hostelry in the middle of a hurricane. To make matters worse, their fellow guests include five spoiled celebrity cats and their ruthlessly ambitious owners, all of whom are determined that their cat should be chosen as the face of Purrfect Paws. And then a cat-astrophe strikes. One by one, the owners start dying. With the storm raging, and the body count rising, Maggie and Lenny are determined to find the killer before their inn turns into a morgue. Can Maggie catch the killer or will her fur-midable opponent get the upper paw? Grab a copy and find out today!

  • Another great Maggie and Lenny mystery

    I love this Movie Club Mysteries series and book 7 is just as great at the ones that came before it. In this homage to Agatha Christie, P.I. partners Maggie and Lenny are trapped in a hotel with a bunch of cat show contestants (feline and their human companions) and have to figure out who the murderer is. Like the other books, I found myself enjoying the characters and the absurdity that follows Maggie’s life. The book is laugh-out-loud funny and full of charm. After a stressful week, I found myself completely immersed in this story and got in some relaxing reading hours. Zara Keane, if you are reading this, I want more Liam in the next story please!

    Maggie, Lenny, Liam and the rest of the gang from Movie Reel Investigations return in a new mystery featuring Maggie’s nemesis, Quibbles the cat. After failing to secure a lucrative law firm contract due to an hilarious incident involving a lawn chair and full frontal nudity, the partners are forced to accept a job chaperoning Quibbles in the Great Irish Purr Off. Although the contest is scheduled to take place in a luxury hotel, a stinky sewer pipe eruption forces a change of venue and the nearby accommodations provided by Maggie’s cousin, Angel, are about as far from luxury as one can imagine. To add to the groups woes, rain, thunder and lightening eventually lead to a power loss and people are being poisoned. Maggie is worried about her boyfriend, Liam, whose anticipated arrival is delayed by the conditions, and she and Lenny must try to stop the killings and find the murderer while keeping their client, Quibbles, safe. This is the seventh book in one of my favorite series and Zara Keane once again delivers a tantalizing mystery complete with humor, atmosphere and intriguing characters. The cats are a bonus for this animal loving mystery fan. Maggie’s cousin is an interesting addition and I hope she turns up again in future stories. She has some explaining to do. I highly recommend this entire series and a new release always goes to the top of my TBR list. This is my honest opinion of an ARC I received from the author.

    Apocalypse.Meow ..Movie..Club.# 7 ...Zara. Keane. A tale of the antics to become known and to launch a career. When the corpses start adding up the host depart saying she was entitled to it, after the mayhem with the bodies. Quibbles did he get the spot, to be the Purrfect Paw. For her life the up and downs with the characters she deals with. A lot of mayhem and murder once again to enjoy. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
