Fiction. Mystery. HTML:Charlie Harris and his Maine Coon cat, Diesel, are embroiled in a new mystery when a cold case suddenly heats up in the latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series.

Charlie Harris is busy enjoying his new grandson when a mysterious man with a connection to Charlie's family starts visiting the library, bringing with him troubling questions about an unsolved murder...

Charlie may be a proud new grandfather, but he and Diesel still have work to do at Athena College and the small Mississippi town's public library. He's too busy to deal with true-crime writer Jack Pemberton, who wants Charlie as the subject of his latest bookâ??and who won't take no for an answer.  

A more appealing proposition for Charlie is spending time helping a kind, elderly man navigate the library's genealogical database. But he's shocked when he learns that the visitor's search is focused on a member of his own family: his late aunt's husband.

Charlie befriends the man and considers inviting him to stay in his home, but he's soon given reason to question that notion. Jack is certain that Charlie's new houseguest was involved in a shocking homicide that took place years ago in a small town near Athena. As this cold case heats up, Charlie and Diesel have to uncover a killer who may already be too close to home

A library patron researching his family turns out to be a step-cousin Charlie didn't know he had. He was also the chief suspect in a murder case 20 years ago - the police were convinced he was guilty but couldn't prove it.

A good story but where is Kanesha? She only appears in the last 20 pages or so. ( )

Very interesting. The folks go away for a book related retreat (what???). My only question is what happened to the marriage proposal between out main character and the lady who runs the cafe???. Forget their names at present. ( )

I was going to be disappointed, because I thought I guessed the killer halfway through the book. I was surprised by the ending, and can say this is another excellent installment in the Cat in the Stacks series. ( )

I love Charlie Harris and his Maine Coon cat, Diesel as created by Miranda James, a pseudonym used by Dean James. When I'm reading a novel in this series I often think of James (Qwill to his friends) Qwilleran and his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum-Yum and vice versa as Charlie and Qwill always enjoy their food and their cats. Diesel and Koko in particular are always alert when there is a mystery to solve and front and center with assistance in providing clues. Without a doubt, I'd love to taste Charlie's housekeeper, Azalea Berry's bacon and homemade biscuits and one of Charlie's boarders, Stewart's fried chicken.

I delight in reading about Charlie's daily schedule as he is a librarian and reading about his work always has me reminiscing of my librarian experiences of activities and patron interactions. Another special joy is to read of Charlie's patronage of the town's independent bookstore. With all that activity Charlie might not seem to have time for sleuthing but he always makes the time and in "Claws for Concern" it becomes very personal. Charlie learns of a relative by marriage he wasn't even aware he had and with concern rapidly rising around this man Charlie's next steps become uncertain.

A highlight of this novel is reading of Charlie's love of his new grandson with more baby news on the horizon for the Harris family. Anyone that has ever witnessed an animal's devotion to a new baby will take particular pleasure in reading of Diesel's attentive behavior.

This is a charming series for all cozy mystery fans and especially for all readers who love reading novels about librarians that are amateur sleuths and feline fans are particularly fur-tunate to meet Diesel. Charlie and Diesel are a paw-some combination! I'm looking forward to their next adventure.
