This is the 16th entry in the Magical Cats mystery series by Sofie Kelly. I read the first two books, Curiosity Thrilled the Cat and Sleight of Paw and enjoy both the plots and the characters. These are cozy mysteries with the added element of two cats who are anything but ordinary house pets. Owen can disappear at will and Hercules can walk through walls, doors, etc. Of course they are very smart and often have to help their owner, librarian Kathleen Paulsen, solve mysteries by providing clues. In this book she is getting ready to marry Detective Marcus Gordon and the story focuses a lot on the strong network of friends that Kathleen has formed in her small town of Mayfield. When she finds a dead body in the library, she feels compelled to try and figure out why the victim, ne'er do well Will Redfern, was trying to steal a painting from the library. It turns out the painting was part of a high profile theft some years ago and was never recovered. How did it end up in the library and why would someone kill Will Redfern? Our protagonists are put in mortal danger before the wedding and their union surprisingly comes with a bonus.
