- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2023I enjoy the short and interesting cozy mystery stories that Sharon Michaels writes. The setting is the 1950s and the character of Tabitha is someone who is quite capable and smart. I totally loved the felines, Nick and Nora, aptly named after two of my favorite people in a series of movies from the 1940s. If you enjoy a fun, interesting, bright and quick read, check out this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023Excellent story of canine crime busters and town sleuth, who work together to solve a mystery. Totally delightful characters communicated well and solved a lot of problems with the town's criminal element. All's well with humans and animals in their happy little town once again. Hightly recommend this book to other animal lovers everywhere.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023Sharon Michael’s Cats, Crooks, and Cobblers: is a great short story to read at bedtime (or any time you want to chill out!) It could sound insulting if I said, it put me to sleep but that’s a GOOD thing as I have a hard time falling asleep. The story is just enough to build intrigue and the right length to put the rest of the world away and get involved. Relax in the mystery and then drift off to sleep. Looking forward to the rest of the series!! Thanks Sharon!
