Publisher's summary

When librarian Kathleen Paulson moved to Mayville Heights, Minnesota, she had no idea that two strays would nuzzle their way into her life. Owen is a tabby with a catnip addiction and Hercules is a stocky tuxedo cat who shares Kathleen's fondness for Barry Manilow. But beyond all the fur and purrs, there's something more to these felines.

When murder interrupts Mayville's Music Festival, Kathleen finds herself the prime suspect. More stunning is her realization that Owen and Hercules are magical - and she's relying on their skills to solve a purr-fect murder.

Very easy going mystery story - good for all ages

In a world full of overly dramatized stories, this is a very pleasant read. The story was good and the characters were nice and it was very interesting. it would be an okay read for the youngest reader into the oldest reader. Truly a PG story. I don't think there was one cuss word.

Okay

This was an okay story but I found parts of it unbelievable and it wasn't the magical cats. Taking someone out with overdone bread? Come on, the least she could have done was leave it in the pan. I also found the heroine's constant harping about being a suspect, on very little evidence, to be very annoying.

Enjoyable and easy listening

I enjoyed the overall storyline. The ending was not too predictable. If you want a mystery just for fuN, this is your book. The narration was good and made the book an enjoyable "read."

Enjoyable

I needed a light read and I prefer mysteries. I'm also a crazy cat person! This was a good choice.

A fun cozy mystery - made more enjoyable with cats!

I really liked this cozy mystery. It had its usual cliches as cozy mysteries go, however I was still surprised at the end by who did it.
The best though was the conversations that are always happening with the cats and Kathleen. As a crazy cat lady myself who talks to her cat, it was entirely relatable. A fun little listen!

Cute... but a little long!

A rather simple story. Still, all in all, a pleasant piece of entertainment if you like kitsch stuff.

very good story

loved it. I listen on the drive to and from work and I'll bet some other drivers thought I was crazy when they would look over at me laughing.

Fun Listen!

What did you love best about Curiosity Thrilled the Cat?

I bought this on a whim and it was an enjoyable listen all the way through. One can tell the author is owned or has been owned by cats.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Curiosity Thrilled the Cat?

I HAVE to find a "Fred the Funky Chicken" for my cat now......
