 Excellent read! October 7, 2008

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!

After 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.
 Enjoyable first mystery September 30, 2007

Simon'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.

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!
Who killed the cat lady? April 3, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Theda Krakow is a freelance writer. She goes to interview cat lady Lillian and finds her dead. Everything points to her death being an accident except for the fact that someone keeps breaking into Lillian's house. It is rumored there is hidden treasure in the house. Theda is determined to get to the bottom of things and prove Lillian was murdered and why.
There are quite a few suspects including the real estate neighbor, the schizophrenic son, and a waitress who helped Theda with the cats. Can Theda find out who the killer is without putting herself in jeopardy?
I really enjoyed this first novel. I can't wait to read another one in this series. I am not fond of the many cat mysteries, but even though this was is billed with a cat, the cat is not prominent and does not solve the crime.
The characters and setting were well written. The plot was well crafted and there are plenty of red herrings to keep the reader guessing.
I highly recommend this book.
