Furever After - Magical Cats Mystery #16


Furever After is the 16th (!!) magical cats cozy paranormal mystery by Sofie Kelly. Released 3rd Sept 2024 by Penguin Random House on their Berkley imprint, it's 304 pages and is available in hardcover, audio, and ebook formats. Paperback due out in 1st quarter 2025. 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 an appealing, well written series with a likeable librarian protagonist as amateur sleuth along with her anthropomorphic/supernaturally gifted kitties and her fiancĂ© who's in law enforcement.  The language is very clean (only an occasional mild curse, nothing worse), there's no graphic on page violence or sexual content, and it's an appealing, satisfying read. In addition, in this installment, there's a nice art theft mystery, some murder, and a visit with the ensemble returning characters.

Although it's the 16th book in the series, the mystery is self contained in this book and it works very well as a standalone, with the understanding that the returning characters have a history, and there will be spoilers for the earlier books if read out of order.

Four stars. It would be a good choice for public library acquisition, for mystery fans, and a binge/buddy read. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
