The Cat On the Roof is the 4th Cozy Cat mystery by Peter Scottsdale. Released 28th March 2023, it's 166 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout.
This is a fluffy cozy(ish) thriller mystery written from the first "person" PoV of a cat who, with his cat siblings, is trying to foil a plot against his human, Jamie. Although it's not derivative, it's very much in the same genre as Spencer Quinn's Bernie books, and Sneaky Pie Brown books by Rita Mae Brown.
The dialogue is often over the top and tongue in cheek. It's a short, light, enjoyable cozy and will likely appeal to fans of the aforementioned authors. Despite being the fourth book in the series, it works perfectly well as a standalone read.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
