I'm not sure I agree with the blurb on the back of Paw & Order, the first in the Detective Whiskers Cat Cozy Mystery, by Chris Abernathy ... "What's better than a K-9 cop? A feline detective" but I will admit, I am a dog person. :-) Whiskers even has a badge! He helped the late husband of Sheila until his retirement, they'd even figured out a way to communicate with each other when Whiskers knew something Fred didn't. Alas, Sheila has not as yet picked up on how that was done, so when she becomes the main suspect in the retirement town where she now lives she has to figure things out for herself. A nice, light, cozy mystery.

This recommendation came from Canadian Reader, who likes We Solve Murders, by Richard Osman, better than his Thursday Murder Club series! It's an unusual team: Steve, retired, loves his pub quiz nights; Amy, working in personal security,her current client is a famous recluse, Rosie. When bodies start to show up, each with a bag of money, and with a connection to Amy, they become a team to figure who is behind the murders, and why Amy is a target. More of a thriller than a cozy, the adventure will take you all over the world. (Private jets must be really nice to have)! It's the first in Osman's new series.
