A Forgotten Village Magical Mystery: A Cat Guide’s to Danger
A Cat’s Guide to Danger is the third installment of Jacqueline Diamond’s Forgotten Village Magical Mystery series.
The novel revolves around Chess Vevoda, Loobly’s librarian and part-time sleuth. When magic leaks from the hidden town of Loobly into reality, only chaos and confusion occur in Chess’ former California hometown. The town council of Loobly assigns Chess with the assignment of returning to “Over There” with her magical black cat, Kafka, and Nik, a charming detective Chess is attracted to. They must uncover who’s behind a mysterious murder, find Loobly citizens marooned there, and recover a stolen notebook that holds the secrets to maintaining the balance between worlds.
Though A Cat’s Guide to Danger stands well on its own from the other two books in the series, author Jacqueline Diamond artfully sprinkles in backstory without bogging the book’s pacing, which is brisk. Diamond’s characters are loveable, especially Kafka who is quite funny. She also does an amazing job of world building with a strong blend of mystery, fantasy, and even light romance.
A Cat’s Guide to Danger is perfect for readers who love mysteries with a sprinkling of mystery and magical mischief.
