Five Cozy Mystery Books Featuring Cats

I was invited to list five best books with a theme. Mine is novels featuring women amateur sleuths and clever cats solving mysteries in small towns. As a bonus, all five are book one in a series.

My list appears on a fun website that is trying to replicate the joy of browsing a physical bookstore's shelves. Physical bookstores are becoming a relic. By all means, support your local bookstore! I see this venture as an aid to finding your next favorite read. It's on you whether you order through the Big A, or request it through a physical store.

To use the website, you search for a topic or theme of interest, and authors list their choices of "best" or "favorite." 

​Have fun browsing at Shepherd.com.
