It's Pumpkin Days Festival time in Lavender, Texas. Local businesses are setting up tents to display their wares and tourists are piling in to partake in the town's festivities. As Sabrina strolls through the festival with her cat, Hitchcock, she walks right up to someone who looks just like her. A woman named Tia is one of the outside vendors renting a tent during the festival. She also has her son and his pet cat with her. When it's discovered that Tia doesn't see eye-to-eye with another vendor named Calvin and he is found dead, Tia is the prime suspect. Sabrina makes it her mission to discover what happened and to prove that Tia wasn't involved.

The Black Cat Sees His Shadow is a wonderful third 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 of Calvin, 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 voluntarily reviewed a copy of The Black Cat Sees His Shadow provided to me by the publisher through NetGalley.

I'm really enjoying the Bad Luck Cat Mystery Series. This book was a great addition! I loved reading about Sabrina and Hitchcock again. In this one, Sabrina gains a doppelgänger, Tia, whom she has to clear as a murder suspect. I enjoyed the storyline and the banter between characters. As usual, Hitchcock was the best part of the story! Great characters, an interesting storyline, and a fun small-town setting made this a great one!

They say we all have a twin and Sabrina comes face to face with hers, even down too the black cat like Hitchcock. Can your doppleganger be a killer. Sabrina just wants to write her book yet that has to wait while she tries to figure out id Tina is a killer are just being framed . With the help of a family, friends and Hitchcock she find out the truth. The story is well written and Hitchcock is always fun to read about.

Poor Hitchcock, always being accused of being bad luck. This time we get 2 black cats to help with the mystery. We also get to meet Sabrina's mom. Fun read especially if you lIke cats.

It’s that time of year in Lavender, Texas. It’s the Pumpkin Day Festival. The town is quickly filling up with vendors and tourists alike. Sabrina Tate wonders if she will have time to finish working on her novel, but her progress comes to a halt when one of the vendors, Calvin Fisher, verbally attacks and threatens her. She’s totally puzzled since she never met the man before, but he sure seemed to think he knew her.

It all became clear when she met one of the other vendors. They say everyone has a twin. Sabrina found hers in Tia Hartwell. She’s the spitting image of Sabrina. In fact even her black cat, Hitchcock, found his. Tia has a black cat and his name is Merlin. No wonder Calvin mistook her for Tia. Suddenly it made sense.

Then, Hitchcock and Sabrina stumble upon Calvin’s body dead in his truck. The number one suspect is Tia, but Sabrina isn’t buying it. Tia is way too nice to be a killer. Sabrina throws herself into the investigation and into danger. So much for concentrating on her writing.

This is the third book in the series. I read the first one and still have to go back to read the second, but I really enjoyed this. It didn’t matter if I missed a book since the mystery is contained in this book and isn’t a carry over from one book to the next.

Sabrina is a strong character who doesn’t back down. She is quite determined to investigate, despite the local police not being too happy about it. Her loyalty to Tia is admirable, especially since she just met her. I, also, loved how she stood up for black cats everywhere. They are not bad luck at all!

Hitchcock, of course, is my favorite character. What a loveable kitty sleuth!

The storyline moved along at a fast pace. I kind of suspected who could be behind the murder but I wasn’t sure how all the pieces fit into place. There were a few surprises along the way.

Kay Finch captured kitty behavior perfectly and knows how to write an intriguing and captivating mystery.

This is book three in A Bad Luck Cat mystery and it's fall and time for the pumpkin festival in Lavender, Texas. Sabrina is surprised to meet a young woman who could be her twin and even more surprised when a vendor from the festival threatens her thinking she is another vendor, Tia. When he ends up dead the sheriff has Tia at the top of his suspect list but Sabrina finds many more when stolen gems are found. Her writing career is going well and the when her mother and step-dad show up for Pumpkin Fest things start going downhill fast. Great cozy with wonderful characters, a fantastic mystery and some yummy pumpkin recipes.

This is a fun cozy mystery that is set in a unique location. I have not read the previous books to this series, and while they would have given background, it was not difficult to just pick up this book and become immersed in the story and the characters. Plenty of action and a few good twists, this was a great read!
