What readers say
Readers love Mystic Notch for its cats, above all bossy Pandora, whose chapters let the cats run their own investigation, along with friendly ghosts, light magic and a quirky small-town cast. Fans praise the red herrings and twisty reveals and find the books fun and easy. Common criticisms are a heroine who seems too clueless for a former crime reporter, repetitive writing, a telegraphed romance, vague magic and talking cats that some find silly; many say the series warms up after the first book.
Best for: Readers who want light paranormal cozies where the cats do half the sleuthing.
