Borrowed Crime

 Borrowed Crime is the 3rd book in the Bookmobile Cat series by Laurie Cass.  The antics of Eddie the cat certainly are front and center along with his relationship with Minnie.   The story highlights what a positive impact animals can have on our lives.  Additionally, the services of the bookmobile show what a welcome and necessary outlet they provide in more rural areas.   I  have fond memories of bookmobiles as a child and I love that this book shows the fun it instills in the younger generation.

As for the mystery it is well constructed and I wasn't 100% sure on who the guilty party was which is unusual for me.  I normally figure out the criminal before a cozy is finished.   I appreciate that Minnie is a "normal" person just trying to do her job and enjoy her daily life.  The drama that surrounds her relationship with her boss, Stephen, adds a great layer to the stories.  I recommend this series for those looking for an engaging cozy.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

enjoyable book especially for cat lovers. i like the fact the Minnie feels like an authentic person. Her relationship with her Aunt Frances, her cat, Eddie, and her coworkers create an all around character who feels like someone you would want to be friends with. This series is best read in order as their are recurring characters that progress through the stories
