    About this audiobook

    Sarah Grayson and her feline ally, Elvis, get a chance to see if their sleuthing skills are up to scratch in the sixth installment of the New York Times bestselling Second Chance Cat Mysteries.

    It's fall in North Harbor, Maine, where Sarah owns a charming secondhand shop and sells lovingly refurbished items of all kinds. The shop is always bustling-and not just because a quirky team of senior-citizen detectives works out of it and manages to get in even more trouble than Sarah's rough-and-tumble rescue cat, Elvis.

    A cold case heats up when young Mallory Pearson appears at the shop. Mallory's father is in prison for negligence after her stepmother's mysterious death, but Mallory believes he is innocent and asks the in-house detectives to take on the case. With Sarah and Elvis lending a paw, the detectives decide to try to give Mallory's father a second chance of his own.

    • 3/5
      No Escape Claws is the sixth book in the Second Chance Cat Mystery series and was a creative whodunit with plenty of twists and turns, although there was little involvement from Elvis, the feline in this series. The mystery in this story was a team effort with the main character, Sarah, being a reluctant team player. When she was first approached by Mallory, who was firm that her father was wrongly convicted for a crime that he couldn’t have committed, Sarah was skeptical. She was not sold on Mallory’s father’s innocence, especially because he had pled guilty to the crime in the first place, but ultimately helped with the investigation because her curiosity of what took place won over her skepticism.I really liked the mystery in this story because it kept me on my toes wondering who was the guilty party but I didn’t enjoy that it involved so many characters. I did not really feel a connection to Sarah, Mr. P., Nick, Mac, or any of the Angels in this story and although they were interesting and well developed, they just did not hold my interest. So, with their many interactions and multiple conversations in the story, I found my interest waning a bit. There was a small romance angle with Sarah trying to decide how she truly felt about two different guys and that added some extra interest to this story because it was written well and did not detract from what was taking place. Overall, No Escape Claws was a mystery that was a delight to solve. This review is based on a complimentary book I received from NetGalley. It is an honest and voluntary review. The complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.
    • 5/5
      This series is hard to stop. Each book grabs your attention and keeps you reading.
    • 4/5
      A so-so entry. Good character, great cat, small-town setting. Sophie Ryan (who also writes as Sophie Kelly) is a decent writer, too, but the plotting was weak in No Escape Claws.She gave herself away for me, when she offered up two suspects: one with children, and one without. Then she had the MC lament – repeatedly – the idea that another parent might be guilty and the tragedy would cost another child their parent. At that point, I had overwhelming suspicions; after she offered up the information that the suspect had just missed out on adopting a child of her own, I was certain. Overall, this is an enjoyable cozy series, as current cozies go. This one just wasn’t one of the strongest.
    • 4/5
      Sarah is busy running her secondhand shop, especially since Mac is out of town, dealing with some personal matters involving his recently deceased ex-wife. Everyone is wondering when he is coming back, but Sarah is beginning to wonder if he will return. Meanwhile, the detecting Charlotte’s Angels have been retained by a daughter trying to prove that her dad is innocent of her stepmother’s death. And if the Angels are involved, so is Sarah. Astute readers will guess who the real murderer is before the end, but the cozy tale is still an engrossing one, more for the engaging characters and their interaction than for the real mystery. The senior Angels are delightful, surprising even Sarah with their antics and knowledge. And Elvis the cat with his ability to discern when people are lying must be given credit for helping Sarah. This charming cozy is surefire entertainment.
    • 4/5
      Another pleasant entry in the Second Chance Cat series of cozy mysteries. Sarah's elderly friends and relations once again draw her into investigating a death--which might be an accident or suicide. Elvis the cat doesn't play a big role in this one, but the shifting characters make up for it.Not the best in the series, but well worth reading.
