This was a great cozy mystery! I have just recently started to read more of this genre and was not disappointed with this one. I didn’t realize until after I started this book that this was the second one in the series but honestly felt like I was able to keep up. I plan on going back and reading the first book because I love the characters and atmosphere of the story. The author’s easy writing style made for an enjoyable read. I really really like Christy’s character and how she manages to get people to talk to her when they come into her bookstore. Also love the name of her store! This classic who done it read was right up my alley and I definitely look forward to reading more from this author.

Hartman – Review by Carla Clemmons
This was such a lovely cozy mystery to cuddle up with over the weekend! I hadn’t read the first in the series, but I didn’t feel confused when I read this book which is the second in the series. I did enjoy this one so much that I will be picking up the first now! What else could top a great wedding and reception other than an intense crime investigation? When the list of suspects turns up someone that our main character least suspects, the plot gets even more intense! This author did an amazing job of keeping me on my toes throughout the entire story, and I loved every moment of it! I don’t want to accidentally give away any spoilers, but I will say that this is a must-read if you are looking for a cozy mystery to enjoy while bundled up with your tea!

Ruth Hartman is the author of Murder She Meowed and she has started a series of cozy mysteries. Included is your typical, fun, quirky characters that make these cozy mysteries so much fun. Murder, of course, investigations, banter, intrigue, and cats. I mean what more could you want, unless maybe you’re a dog person lol? This is book two and I had no trouble with this novel or feeling like I missed something so I feel like these can be standalone books but could possibly have details from the previous novels I missed. Super cute and definitely enjoyable.

If you are looking for a book with mystery, a murder, charming characters, and a whole lot of kitty cuteness, then this cozy mystery is for you.
Murder She Meowed by Ruth J. Hartman follows author Christy Bailey and her cats, Milton and Pearl, as they try to prove their friend Janie is not a murderer.
I found the book to be a quick, fun read full of quirky characters and adorable cats. I loved the way the mystery unfolded and how I did not want to stop reading. It definitely made me want to cuddle my feline buddy a little closer.
So grab a cup of your favorite beverage, a cozy blanket, and your furry friend and try to solve the who-dunnit along kitty mystery solvers Milton and Pearl with the help of their human Christy.
I love cats and when I saw this book I had to read it! I have three boys, and this was just a cute story! It was perfect and kept me entertained. I loved these illustrations and the story line. I cannot wait to read more books by this author!

Hartman – Review by Carlie Del Gallo
Christy writes stories for children about her cats Milton and Pearl, but in real life, they help her find clues when a dead body is found at her friend’s pastry shop. This is a cute story about Christy finding her place in this small town, making friends, and compiling a list of suspects to get to the bottom of this latest small-town murder mystery. There are a lot of mysteries solved through this book and it kept me guessing until the end.

Hartman – Review by Daree Blake
Murder She Meowed is the second book in the Bookshop Kitties Mysteries Series and a perfect read for those who love cozy mysteries and adorable kitties!
Christy is thrilled to be celebrating her Aunt Betty’s wedding to Wallace. It’s a sweet, small wedding complete with Christy’s cats taking part in it. Everything is perfect until Janie’s ex-husband shows up and takes many by surprise…and not in a good way. After the reception, Christy and Micah, Christy’s crush, agree to help Janie clean up at her pastry shop. What awaits them there is more than they bargained for, it’s Janie’s ex who is very much DEAD! Now, it’s up to Christy and her friends to solve the murder and keep Janie out of jail.
This was such a charming read complete with a charming town and quirky, loveable characters, including Christy’s adorable cats, Milton and Pearl. Those two cuties are as much a part of the stories as their human counterparts. I enjoyed how each of the characters is connected. It’s a town I would love to live in!
The mystery kept me so engaged throughout the book. Some twists and turns kept me guessing, especially when another body turns up! I also liked the light romance. There is definitely chemistry between Micah and Christy, but I really like the fact that Hartman isn’t rushing it, and even Janie may have a love interest.
If you love cozy mysteries with great characters, a hint of romance, a charming town, and the cutest kitties ever, I suggest giving this series a try!

Christy has two cats, Milton and Pearl, they are her fur babies as well as they are the stars of her murder mystery books that she writes.
The other characters in the book were good, the story kept you trying to figure our who was involved in the murders. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I discovered I was wrong. Can’t wait to read the other books in the series. Or at least I hope there are more.

4/5 stars This is such a cozy read. I read it at home, but I should have read it in a cozy local coffee shop. It’s clean and cute. Also, book 2 but 100% can be read as a standalone.

Why did Tad (Janie’s ex-husband) turn up suddenly? What happened to him? Why did so many people have a reason to want him gone? These questions and many more weave throughout this page-turner that keeps you guessing as more of the story (and Tad’s history) unravel and Christy attempts to put the clues together. Although this is book 2 of a series, I haven’t read book 1 and was still fine to read this one as a standalone. That being said, I will plan to go back and read more from this series and this author!

Hartman – Review by Gillian Fawell
I loved how this book started with such a special and heartfelt dedication ❣️
When I started reading this I couldn’t help but have a good giggle because we often hear how we take anything to God and April quite literally does just that praying for her Lululemon rain jacket to arrive 🤣🙏 I was invested right there and then so I let my family know that they’d have to stretch or starve and I’d be unavailable for the next couple of hours ❣️📚🤣
Big city girl April now works as a reporter in small town Laurel Lake along with her 4 legged bestie Ralph 🥰🐾 and Wesley the local vet seems to be rather taken with her as well and after helping solve a string of break ins and poisonings the locals seem to be warming up to her as well and hello she went from suspect to mystery solver!
Well this time round April has her hands full and she still can’t crochet 🤣 the grocery store burns down and despite the fact that the owner was as miserable as sin there’s a mystery to solve and April finds herself in a dangerous situation on more than one occasion …
April and friends will make you wish you were part of their inner circle and their “ adventures “

I would be lying if I said I didn’t choose this book based on it’s adorable cover art but I definitely stuck around for the cozy mystery. Murder She Meowed was a fun read with truly enjoyable characters and great imagery. I haven’t read the first book in the series (yet) but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this one. I am definitely a cat person so I truly loved having fun loving felines in the mix. If you’re looking for a fun story with great characters this is a win.

This is the second book in the series and you can read it as a standalone. I would describe this as a cute and cozy mystery. It’s nice…it’s sweet…it’s not going to give you nightmares. I really liked Hartman’s writing style. She’s too the point and her characters are well-rounded. There’s a little bit of everything in here: mystery, intrigue, romance, deception, feel-goods…Murder She Meowed really has it all. If you are looking for something on the lighter side of murder with a side of romance then this is the story for you.

Christy Bailey and her two inspirational cats, Milton and Pearl, are attending her attending her haunts wedding. Her cats have some notoriety as she writes children’s books about them. At the wedding she is hoping that she gets to spend some time with Micah as well. Spending time with him is a thrill and when they both agree to help Janie clean up after the wedding, what no one expects is to find Janie’s ex-husband dead. The police believe the case is easy to solve since Janie is the main suspect but Christy doesn’t believe it. With Milton and Pearl in tow, Christy is determined to solve the case, will she be able to do it in time though?
Very fun cozy mystery. I liked the cat celebrities, thought it was a delightful twist to the story. Great characters and I thought the pacing of the book was just what it needed. Enjoyable and the characters are delightful.

I was hooked by the title as my inner crazy cat lady couldn’t resist. I might also add I was pleasantly surprised and delighted with the author’s world she has created. This being the first book by this author that I have read and it certainly won’t be my last. I occasionally love a good mystery and this series just ticks all my boxes. The author is able to spin a tale that keeps the reader glued to their seats and eager for what is going to happen. I felt that the characters were really well written and the whole concept was absolutely addicting. I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I am a very eager kitty to read it!

Hartman – Review by Caralee Loonat
A must-read mystery series, with amazing characters and kitties too! This book was a great mystery read, I loved that the kitties were such a big part of the storyline in solving the mystery. The characters were so down to earth, and personable, they are just like people you’d find in a small town living anywhere in the world. The budding romances in the side stories are just darling, it gives the story a feel-good touch to the story. The fact that we start with a wedding and a murder was so exciting, this story got started right off, and throughout you get hints and clues that help you work to solve the who-done-it right along with our main characters. This was like a great mystery read with a set of kitties who help solve the mystery and play a huge role in finding out who the killer is. The details that the author put into writing this book made it what it was, it helped build up the storyline. Especially with all the different side scenarios in the different character’s lives, it made solving the mystery even more exciting right to the end. This book was the second book in the Bookshop Kitties Mystery series but was the first book that I read. It worked amazingly as a standalone novel, but I am looking forward to going back and reading the first book in the series. I am looking forward to hearing when the next book will be coming out because there are a lot of side romances that are just starting to develop, that are waiting to be continued. @Brandy Rymer 02/2024

A fun cozy murder mystery with great characters and added bonus cat characters who are the shop owners pets. This is the second book in the Bookshop Kitties Mysteries series. Christy and family are celebrating Aunt Betty’s small intimate wedding, when some of the guests spot a man who shouldn’t be there. The next day the same man, who happens to be Christy’s best friend Janie’s ex-husband, is found dead in Janie’s pastry shop. Christy will help Janie prove she is innocent. The characters in the story are well written and relatable. I think any good friend would help someone prove their innocence just like Christy is doing. The cats are adorable and also join in to help! I hope you love the book as much as I did!

Hartman – Review by Betsy Melano
Murder She Meowed is the 2nd book in the BookShop Kitties series by Ruth J. Hartman, but it can easily be read as a standalone book. It is a cozy mystery featuring Christy, a children’s book author who helps to run a bookshop with her Aunt Betty and two very spoilt cats, Milton & Pearl. The trouble starts after the wedding reception of Aunt Betty & Wallace, whilst helping to clear up after the reception, Christy and her want-to-be boyfriend Micah discover a dead body on the floor of Christy’s friend Janie’s pastry shop, Dreamy Sweets. It turns out that the body belongs to Janie’s ex-husband, Tad, a distant relative to Wallace, and by all accounts, not a very nice bloke. Janie is the obviously the main suspect, but she is not the only one with a reason to see Tad dead and that leads to several mysteries to be solved. Christy cannot help to try to solve the mystery and clear her friend’s name. The first chapter or two gives a lot of extra information to help orient you in the story, but then it flows from there into a fast-paced and enjoyable cozy mystery. I am definitely going to go back and read the first book to find out more about why Christy moved back to the small town of Green Meadow, and to find out the back story of Betty and Wallace.

Murder She Meowed by Ruth J Hartman is the second book in her Bookshop Kitties Mysteries series. It’s possible to read as a standalone book but would definitely make more sense read in order. It follows Christy and her two kitties – Milton and Pearl – as they uncover the mystery behind the death of a recently rearrived to town – Tad. The story starts off quick as the wedding of Christy’s Aunt and keeps a lively pace throughout. It contains a small town with quirky characters as the web of lies surrounding Tad unravels.

I read this as a standalone but will definitely be going back and reading the 1st one!
I love a good mystery book but often times have it pretty figured out by the halfway point. Halfway through and I was still suspecting everyone and hadn’t really checked many off my list. All of the characters are well written and hold their own mystery and interest. Personally, I love Milton & Pearl being so involved in anything that Christy does, from their jobs at the bookstore to being pushed around town in a stroller to going on walks in their harnesses, they are truly living their best kitten lives.

Hartman – Review by Jessie Hopkins
Murder She Meowed is a cosy mystery featuring cats, a bookshop and a bakery. What’s not to love! It’s the second in the Bookshop Kitties Mysteries series and reads fine as a standalone, as long as you don’t mind spoilers for the previous book.
I love the cast of community characters. There are many casual connections, but as the story unfolds we learn more about people’s pasts and how they were connected with the murder victim. All kinds of people come into Christy’s bookshop, and she’s good at getting them to talk about themselves as well as the books they have come to buy! I particularly liked Lora, who needed to buy two copies of Christy’s latest book to avoid a fight between her daughters.
The cats are a fun addition to the story. In their cat stroller, they come almost everywhere Christy does and their reactions lead her to clues. They can also help people feel calm and open up!
This book gets four stars from me. If you’re looking for something to read while you are performing important duties as a comfortable seat for your cat, look no further!

Hartman – Review by Jules Herbert
An enjoyable and engaging cozy mystery which kept me happily turning the pages. Christy Bailey is a children’s book author who’s two cats Milton and Pearl star in her books. The cats are also an important part of her Aunt Betty’s small family wedding, as they are being pulled down the aisle in a wagon dressed in wedding outfits. Following the reception Christy and Micah arrive at the wedding caterer’s shop to help her clean up, but instead of Janie they find her ex-husband on the floor, dead. Unfortunately the local police believe that Janie is the most likely suspect for the murder, but Christy, along with Milton and Pearl start their own investigation to prove her innocence. Once again the author brings the setting of Green Meadow, Indiana vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story. The intriguing storyline, quirky characters and the cats made this a real page turner, whilst the murder mystery aspect of the plot kept me hooked throughout. Christy is a likeable and relatable main character and I love Milton and Pearl!

This book was so cozy and cute! First of all, I loved the name of the bookstore Words to Read By. I really love the characters and all of the ways they try to solve the mystery. I definitely smiled when I read some of the scenarios and enjoy that cats are a big piece of the story. It was definitely a great second piece to the series as I enjoyed the first book as well!
