Clea Simon has a very clever cozy series in Witch Cats of Cambridge; a Cat on the Case has the trio of witchy cats working with their mistress to solve the murder of a young man in the apartment next door and figure out how Ruby and her valuable heritage violin fit into the case. The cats are learning about their own heritage and Becca still thinks she can do magic while it is really the cats Will she keep the violin and Ruby safe? Will she be able to keep her apartment? The dialogue from the cats is cute and in place in the story. Enjoy.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. This is the third book in this series. This book is good but I would recommend reading the first book in this series to get to know the characters better. The writing style is good. The characters are enjoyable. I really like Clara's character. She is my favorite character in this book. I can't wait to read more books by this author in the future. This is a great cosy mystery. It is a entertaining book. It is in stores now for CA $33.99 (CAD).

This is a cute easy to read magical cozy with 3 sister cats and their human, Becca. This is the 3rd book in the Witch Cats of Cambridge series. Becca is working at the Charm and Cherish gift shop and her cats are not happy that they are home alone all day. Now their building is going condo, Becca's not sure she can afford to buy, a mysterious young woman leaves behind a valuable violin at the shop and her new neighbor is found dead in the hallway. The magical cats are trying to help but sometimes Becca is headed in the wrong direction. A quick read that can be read as a stand alone. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I love cozy mysteries featuring cats and this is one of my favorite series.
The cats are as lovely as usual, it was great to catch up with the characters and the solid mystery kept me guessing.
I can't wait to read the next book in this series, this one is strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

The is the 3rd book in the poplar "Witch Cats Of Cambridge" mystery series. This series is pure catnip for cat lovers as the author writes so eloquently of cats and knows their behaviors. The three magical cats featured are wonderfully written and such fun to return to with each book. I highly recommend this series especially for all readers that love cats. Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity to review this next in series. My review opinions are my own.

Becca has a intriguing mystery centered around a missing visitor and her violin left behind. She has help from her three cats and one cat is center stage in this book and is delightful. I love how the author writes the cats with intelligence as helping solve mysteries while protecting their beloved Becca. Each book is a fun escape and I look forward to the next in series.

A young woman comes into the store where Becca works, almost confides in her and then dashes out leaving behind her violin. Becca chases after her but loses her, then returning to her home finds both the young woman and the dead body of her neighbor in the apartment next door. As an aspiring witch detective, Becca hopes to get to the bottom of the mysteries but the magical powers are really her cats’.

As if a murder and a possibly cursed violin are not enough of a problem Becca has other issues on her plate, a new neighbor downstairs complaining her cats are too loud and her building is going condo so she may have to move. Throughout it all Becca’s cats do their best to help their person and keep her safe.

I selected this as a review book because I was familiar with the author’s name though not this particular series. Being the third in the series there were some problems “catching up” on who is who. The relationship between the cats was confusing at first - described as litter mates they are different ages and breeds -until we learn more about their ancient history and appointment as guardians. The book is written primarily from the cats’ point of view. I enjoyed the book, it was a pleasant afternoon’s read. I will look up the first two in the series to learn how Becca and the cats found each other.

Cat on the Case by Clean Simon was an advanced reader copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. A stressed woman shows up at Becca's Charm and Cherish, a new age shop. Her three cats have magic powers and help in solving cases. After reading the story, I saw that Clean Smith was a good author. The book genre and content weren't my cup of tea, and so I had a hard time getting into the book.

Becca Colwin works at Charm and Cherish and believes that she has witchy powers. Unknown to her, the witchy magic resides in her three cats and they are happy to keep her thinking that she has the powers. I love these cats and, in this entry to the series, little Clara, the Calico, shines. She is tasked with keeping Becca safe, out of trouble but that's a challenge for the little cat. If she isn't up to it she hears it from her littermates.
While at work, a young woman asks her for help but bolts from the store before Becca gets any details. Left behind is an antique violin which leads to finding Becca's nextdoor neighbor dead. Now the cats really have their work cut out for them. Becca has to be protected from a killer who may make her the dead body.
There are three books in the series and they can be read out of order. If you are a cat lover and like a paranormal theme, give this series a try. The mystery is solid, Becca is a well fleshed out character and the cats act like cats even without the witchy powers.
My thanks to the publisher Polis and to NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Book 3 In A Witches of Cambridge series is by leaps and bounds the best in installment in the series so far. Our three favorite magical cats have to watch out for their pet Becca as she tackles her latest case while worrying about losing her own home to condo developers and working as a shop girl at the local wiccan store. Clara has her paws full protecting her human while learning bits about her own magical past from her sisters. I can't wait to see where this series goes!

Clea Simon is a wonderful writer with a real "ear" for animals and their thoughts. That ear is on display here once again in another cats of Cambridge mystery. Each of the three felines has a separate, and strong personality, as do the humans.

Overall, it's a charming and clever book for those who love cats and mystery.

I had never read this author before, but I have been really getting into paranormal cozies and I thought I’d give this one a try. I know this is the third in a series, but you really don’t have to have read the first two to enjoy this. At first, I was a little confused at how this book was written, and it took me a little bit to get used to it as the cats are more the protagonists than Becca. Once I did, the book flew by. I thought it was a nice, easy way to while away an afternoon in a good book. 3 ½ stars rounded up 4. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Becca Colwin is working at Charm and Cherish when a woman comes in to the store and asks for her help. Before Becca can find out what she wants, the woman rushes out and leaves behind an heirloom violin, that just happens to have Becca's home address on a note inside the violin case. The aspiring witch detective, with the assistance of her three magical cats, wade through all of the lies and deceit to get to the truth of what is really going on.
This was a cute mystery. There were really two storylines: tthe one with the stranger and the violin and then the story of Becca's three cats and their magical powers. I had hoped for a bit more information on the magical powers of the cats and their history, but that may come in future books. This is perfect for cat lovers and mystery lovers who enjoy a light, quick read.

Clea Simon continues to flesh out the four primary characters in her Witch Cats of Cambridge Mystery series, Harriet, Laurel, and Clara, the three witch cats and their human, Becca Colwin.

Becca works at Charm & Cherish, a magic shop in Cambridge Central Square, and mistakenly believes she possesses magic powers that belong to her cats. The current mystery dominates, but Ms. Simon does reveal, in bits and pieces, a little more about the witch cats’ background. Since Clara becomes invisible to accompany Becca everywhere, including work, the reader learns more about her and her feelings. Becca grows as a character, and so does her relationship with Maddy.

The mystery is well-plotted and revolves around an antique violin and Ruby, the young violinist who seeks Becca’s help. Within 24 hours of meeting Ruby, Becca finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. While this story is the most intriguing of the three in the series, the lack of more information about the witch cats still rankles.

A Cat on the Case is the 3rd book in the “A Witch Cats of Cambridge Mystery” by Clea Simon. It can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading in order.

I enjoyed the setting of Cambridge , along with Becca’s BFF Maddy who is still trying to keep her out of trouble. Another side character I really love is Elizabeth and I hope in future books we learn more about her. The story is told from the cats perspective and I enjoyed that.

There is a secondary story going on throughout the books, that of how the cats came to be guardians as little Clara doesn’t know but also always a message as well.

Clara the calico was the center of the story as she stays with Becca whenever she left the flat to protect her and I always love when a furbaby is center stage in a book. I had a huge smile on my face by the time I finished this book!

The mystery was well written with plenty of twists and turns and had a steady pace, even had a few surprises. I suspected but didn’t fully figure out whodunit until it was revealed at the end.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal mysteries and cats.

I requested and received an Advanced Reader Copy from Polis Books and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A good mystery with all the key elements: a solid plot, a likable cast of characters, a few suspects, clues that kept me glued to the story, a few twists and turns that catered to my love of intrigue. I really like this book and how the felines played a part in the telling of this tale. Overall, good read.

I wanted to like this book, unfortunately I found myself losing attention and skimming the pages. I found some of the characters annoying and I couldn’t find myself connecting to them.

Kindle Copy for Review from NetGally and Polaris.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

A stranger appears at Becca’s store but soon disappears leaving a heirloom violin. Her three magical cats and Becca will soon learn the history behind it and the deceit it holds.
A charming read in the series.

I found parts of this book to be frustrating, especially Ruby, her demeanor and disappearances. I thought the two cats Harriet and Laurel are useless in helping Clara. I like the character Becca. #ACatontheCase #NetGalley

A fun mystery with cats and surprises plus a harrowing chase through the streets of Boston during a blizzard. Clea Simon knows how to portray cats with personalities and actions. Although this is the third in a series there is no need to have read the other books to understand this. The only thing I didn’t totally understand was the relationship between the three cats. They are suppose to be littermates but one cat acts much older and has knowledge the youngest cat does not have.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
