The death of her beloved cat opened a bigger void. And the career leap she's made from copy editor to freelance writer has left her financesand her spiritflat. She desperately needs a headline to get her life back on track. One day, out for a stroll in her Cambridge neighborhood, Theda spies an adorable stray kitten. This charmer leads Theda to an old woman holed up in a decrepit house full of cats. Is this one of those "crazy cat ladies," a classic hoarder, or is the old woman a neighborhood do-gooder More important, is this the story to catapult Theda out of the dumps But when she returns to interview Lillian Helmhold, Theda finds her fascinating subject dead of an apparent accident. The neighbors are celebrating, the police aren't interested, and the cats are removed to a shelter. End of story Not for Theda--one or two things don't compute. So Theda marshals her investigative journalism skills to turn gumshoe. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great ReadThis book is lots of fun to read and hard to put down once you start it. Rating: - Excellent read!Mew is for Murder is an excellent addtion to the genere. I was surprised by the tone of the story, which is quite different from any other 'cozy mystery' series I've ever read. Warning: make sure you have plenty of time to read this book. I had to stay up all night to finish reading it--I just couldn't put it down! Rating: - A pleasant change of paceAfter finishing an intense Victorian mystery/thriller I needed a relaxing but satisfying change of pace. Clea Simon's Theda Krakow mystery filled the bill. Her characters seemed realistic as did the cats. I hope she writes many more. Rating:  - Enjoyable first mysterySimon's series debut, "Mew is for Murder" features a likable heroine, some interesting local color (of the Cambridge, MS area), good pacing, and a story that will appeal to cat lovers. For those who find too many contemporary mysteries either overcome with their own cutesiness, or drowned in gore, this is a pleasant alternative. Give Simon a try. Rating: - Mew is for more, please!A mystery involving cats that isn't cutesy or anthropomorphic--Clea Simon gets major points just for that. But on top of it, she created a terrific heroine in Theda Krakow, freelance journalist--smart, funny, strong yet vulnerable: thoroughly human. Can't wait to read more!
