I enjoyed this story. I love that most of the main characters were feisty older people. I love reading a story where people get to use their wit but mostly life experiences in order to solve a mystery. Yes they were driven by Sarah Grayson, a younger woman, but the Older generation took the stage mainly in the book for me at least. Oh yea and Elvis the cat.
Elvis can tell when a person is telling a lie. Sarah and the gang depend on him to help them with their witnesses and suspects. If a person is petting Elvis while telling their account of the events or whatever he will have a serene look on his face, if they lie he will get a sour look on his face and the gang will know they are telling a lie.
In the book Sarah owns a 2nd hand store and Rose one of her older friends, room mate, and employee decides to deliver a package to the home of a customer. From there everything goes sideways even Rose as she is hit on the head, after seeing what she believes is the murder of the customer. Now they have to get the police to believe she is not just a feeble old woman who suffered a small stroke while standing at the customers door.
The story did not run through at lightening speed and at times there were a few more details then was needed but all in all it was a very good story and I did enjoy it.

This book follows Sarah Grayson who runs a secondhand shop where she sells just about anything. When Rose an employee and friend of Sarah's is attacked and is adamant she found a dead body people have trouble believing her but Sarah is determined to find out what really happened and why?
What happened to Jeff Cameron did he disappear or did he meet his maker and why?

This book leads all over the place from a local college to who Jeff Cameron the missing person in question. This book really pulls you in wanting to know what happened to Jeff and what Rose went through when she was attacked? Did Jeff's wife kill him? Or is he trying to frame her for his dead to become someone else all over again? What happened when Jeff was younger that made him change his identity to begin with?

This book pulls you in and doesn't let go it has you going from page 1 to the ending wondering what really happened and if Sarah and the Angels will figure it out in time. I was really wondering who did it because there were so many possibilities. Just when you think Jeff won't show up he does and changes the whole dynamic of the situation. I loved it and can't wait to see what is next in this series!

Author Sofie Ryan once again takes us to North Harbor, Maine to re-visit Sarah Grayson and her kitty sleuth partner, Elvis. It’s not just Sarah and Elvis, though. The author gives us a whole cast of beloved secondary characters. Sarah is part of a group of senior sleuths, although not a senior herself. They are friends of her grandmother. Each one is delightful and a pure joy to catch up with. I’ve loved each one in the previous books and they just keep getting better.

The storyline is intriguing. One of the senior sleuths, Rose, is convinced she witnessed a murder right before she was knocked out. When she wakes up, there’s no body and no evidence that anything happened. Rose’s reputation and sanity are on the line. Sarah and the rest of the crew jump in to try and solve this mystery.

As I said before, these characters are delightful and lovable. The plot took a few different twists and turns along the way. It certainly kept me engrossed and guessing. I couldn't put it down. I was kind of on the right track as to who the culprit was, but I was totally off on the details of how and why. It did keep me thinking to the end.

I hope this series continues. It’s one of the best cat cozy mysteries around. As much as I loved the whole cast, Elvis remains my favorite :)
