#Review ~ The Black Cat Steps on a Crack (A Bad Luck Cat Mystery #4) by Kay Finch @KFinchMysteries

Sabrina Tate and her cat, Hitchcock, must sort through the clues when a librarian is killed and justice is overdue . . .


With construction on the town’s new library nearing completion, mystery writer Sabrina Tate is thrilled that local book lovers, and her own forthcoming novel, will soon have a fresh new home. But tensions are rising at the site as the headstrong new librarian insists on telling the construction crew how to do their jobs, bringing work to a standstill. When Sabrina’s cat unearths the dead body of the librarian not long after—and a good friend’s husband is named as the main suspect—she finds herself being pulled into a murder investigation yet again.

While virtually all the workers at the site had a motive to commit the dark deed, Sabrina turns her attention to the victim’s background looking for clues, but hits a dead end when she can’t locate any of the woman’s family. As a string of planted evidence and a murky collection of malicious characters starts to surface, Sabrina knows she and Hitchcock will have to tread carefully, before the library killer decides to check them out for good . . .

Includes delicious dessert recipes!

My Review:

First and foremost – Thank you Beyond the Page Publishing for picking up Kay Finch’s Bad Luck Cat Mystery series. I am beyond ecstatic to see Sabrina and Hitchcock continue their adventures. Congratulations, Kay!

A new library is being built and everyone is excited for the construction to finish and the library to open. During the construction, the new librarian dishes out orders to the construction crew left and right, leading to a temporary halt in the work. Then, the discovery of a body on the premises of the construction site, shuts the work down for good until the crime is solved. Sabrina finds herself investigating another murder where many people have the means, motive, opportunity to commit the act.

The Black Cat Steps on a Crack is a wonderful fourth cozy mystery in Kay Finch's Bad Luck Cat Mystery series. The plot is full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. The entire book will engage the reader from beginning to end. The descriptive content makes visualizing the scenes an easy task. The novel is fast paced and enjoyable. The motive for the murder, as well as who did it, was cleverly disguised.

All of the characters are written with realism. The character development continues with the main characters and the addition of new characters. We aren't bogged down with unnecessary details or boring character biographies. We receive the right amount of detail and description for each character. The conversations flow smoothly and are realistic. They flow so well that you think you're standing nearby involved in the topic of discussion. I’m excited to be back in Texas with Sabrina and Hitchcock and I hope to be able to visit again!

I was provided a copy of this book to read.
