Publisher's summary

Springtime in Mississippi is abloom with beauty, but the library's employees are too busy worrying to stop and smell the flowers. The new library director, Oscar Reilly, is a brash, unfriendly Yankee who's on a mission to cut costs - and his first targets are the archive and the rare book collection.

As annoying as a long-overdue book, Reilly quickly raises the hackles of everyone on staff, including Charlie's fiery friend Melba, whom Reilly wants to replace with someone younger. But his biggest offense is declaring all four-legged creatures banned from the stacks.

With enemies aplenty, the suspect list is long when Reilly's body is discovered in the library. But things take a turn for the worse when a threatening e-mail throws suspicion on Melba.

Charlie is convinced that his friend is no murderer, especially when he catches sight of a menacing stranger lurking around the library. Now he and Diesel will have to read between the lines, before Melba is shelved under "G" for guilty...

This one is the best yet!

I can`t wait until I read the next one. It just seems like Athena is a high crime city!!! I love the characters though. Love the kitty. My Maine Coon isn't as smart a Diesel!

WONDERFUL BOOK!

This author delivers another terrific book i,n this delightful series. Somehow each book gets me more involved with these characters, an amazing feat in any series. I want more and more stories from this crew... Diesel is as charming as always, although the idea of trying to put a harness on one of my cats is frightening. The narrator is wonderful, not overdoing the southern accents and her meiws are purrfect.

The librarian sleuth does it again

Would you consider the audio edition of No Cats Allowed to be better than the print version?

Yes

What did you like best about this story?

Charlie is unlike the majority of cozy mystery sleuths. Besides having an oversized, lovable sidekick who's a Maine Coon, Charlie has brains and a good sense of self preservation. He solves the mystery but relies on Kenesha and the police to bring the culprit to justice. It's so refreshing to not have the main character not put himself into unnecessary harm's way by stupidly confronting the villain by himself. The other characters in the series - Melba, Azalea, and Stuart are quite enjoyable too.

What about Erin Bennett’s performance did you like?

The narrator for this series does a good job of bring Charlie, Diesel and the other characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Cant't wait for the next adventure of Charlie and Diesel!
