About this listen
It’s Christmas in Tablerock, Texas! The cat-rescuing mother-daughter duo of Ellie and Evie Rockwell just want to find some cats their forever homes for the holidays. Instead, they find themselves solving a real-life Christmas mystery straight out of a storybook.
When the town’s beloved librarian, Alice Grey, is found bludgeoned to death by a fruitcake at the start of the Christmas season, it shatters the community’s tranquility. What’s more, it leaves the librarian’s lone cat, Ginger, alone and bewildered at the Silver Circle Cat Rescue for the holidays. But once the marmalade-colored cat pleads for their help solving its owner’s strange Christmas murder, they are quickly tangled up in a mystery as twisted as any fairy tale.
As they navigate a plot as twisted as any Dickens’ story Alice Grey eagerly quoted, mother-daughter cat rescuers Ellie and Evie Rockwell discover the demure librarian had managed to accumulate an enemies list as towering as the shelves of books she so lovingly maintained.
Will Ellie and Evie solve the murder before the final page is turned?
Find out in “Fairy Tales, Fruitcake, and Murder”, the fourth book in a purr-fectly paranormal midlife cozy mystery series.

Story
My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves—although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive.

Blessed (or cursed, depending on who you ask) with human intelligence, Sir Edgar Allan Kipling, magical talking cat extraordinaire, spends most of his time keeping his human out of trouble. Of course, having a wizard for a human means that trouble is never far away. When Sir Kipling's human goes away for the weekend and leaves him to guard her magical library, things start out quiet. But he soon discovers witches smelling suspiciously of demon magic snooping about, and quiet goes out the window as chaos looms on the horizon.

But Ginger refuses to help find the killer he won't tell them anything about Alice as he has a problem with the police even if it means the killer gets away. But whilst on the magical plate, he revealed things that shocked Ellie and Evie and made them wonder who Alice Grey was really. There was more to the quiet, beloved librarian than they imagined. Will Ellie and the gang be able to unravel all of Alice's secrets without Ginger's help before anyone else gets hurt?
I so love this motley crew, especially Belladonna who seems to be mellowing.
Leanne Leeds has written another entertaining clean mystery which is beautifully narrated by Meghan Kelly whose voice is perfect for all the different characters both human and feline. I love how she brings depth to their personalities. I love listening to her she seems to add a certain something making the stories even more enjoyable.

fruitcake might be known for a lot of things, some of them … unpleasant, but as an instrument for doing away with someone? That’s a new one and it has Ellie, Evie, and the crew chasing clues! This cheekily written plot is smooth, interesting, FUN, and engagingly entertaining! As fun as this story is, it’s also deeper than just a extremely well written mystery. What sets this story, this series apart is the incredibly realistic, incredibly deep, human characters, some facing incredible real life challenges! Not to worry, all is throughly, sensitively explained by our author! A delightful bonus is the addition of a new, snarky, cantankerous, feline named Ginger! This crabby gent has completely stolen this listeners heart AND you won’t believe whose eye he catches! That’s as much as I’m going to say, these lips are zipped. Listen and see if you don’t lose your heart to him as well! Ginger, Bella Donna and the rest of the cast came beautifully alive through my headphones thanks to the magic of truly stunning voice acting! Every character was perfect! Every vocal choice exquisite and emotionally powerful, truly giving beautiful life to the authors vision. I truly loved this one! Five fabulous stars!
Fabulous, Fun, Entertaining, Perfect!

The new cat on the block is a bit of a hard nose when it comes to helping solve murder so l guess this is a harder mystery to solve.
Wow, is Belladonna mellowing? Are kittens in the future? l cannot remember if the adoption cats are neutered when they first come in , although now l think of it , in a previous book there was this one cat who took advantage of the talking plate to dissabuse the vet of any fond connection after she took his tom cathood away then wore balls for earrings taunting him. That conversation had me in stitches.
This is a clean mystery that teenagers onward can read/listen to. The narration was perfect for the characters. RECOMMENDED.
