This is the third book in the MenoPaws Mysteries Series. I have read this series in order. I would encourage you to read the series in order because there are paranormal pieces that are slowly given out in each book. The mysteries are actually complete so you can choose to read out of order.
Nell and, my favorite talking cat, JenniFur are back. Detective Cole is missing and a murder needs to be solved. A new character arrives, Harriet, Detective Cole’s niece. It was fun having a teenager in the mix. I love the fun yet chaotic energy when all the friends get together. It feels like being with a diverse group of real life friends and makes the pages fly by. The mysteries have a few suspects to choose from. I enjoyed uncovering new details about the Seelies. I really like how they can have different talents that make them unique yet all are important.
The series is set in Australia. I find this fun as I am in the US. Please keep in mind that spellings of some words are different between the two countries so it isn’t typos you are seeing. Ms Best provides a fun glossary in her books that will add color to your vocabulary. I always check out the glossary for phrases and words to learn.
If you are looking for a fun, fast paced magical mystery, I recommend this one. It will have you laughing while you search along for clues. ( )

This is a great/fun series for those of us over thirty! Set in a small town in Australia with a lot of magic going on, there is murder and more afoot. The characters had me laughing my sox off even before the goings-on got going! Come for a cosy mystery and stay for all the laughs! ( )
