Wonderful collection of storiesI loved all of the stories。 They were thought provoking and well written and extremely entertaining。 I am now following all of the authors。
Pat,
I have read the first 5 of the stories in this book。 I have been waiting quite a while for Ms。 Fitz's Grizzly Grievance。 I love the Pet Whisperer series。 This one features Octo-Cat & Pringle helping Angie solve the murder。 Pringle especially complicates the weekend away for Charles & Angie。 He is always more of a nuisance because of his outrageous behavior。 But I love these stories。The Magical Mocha Latte is also enjoyable。 Nothing like magic in a drink to cause murder。 Ms。 Muth writes fun books I have read the first 5 of the stories in this book。 I have been waiting quite a while for Ms。 Fitz's Grizzly Grievance。 I love the Pet Whisperer series。 This one features Octo-Cat & Pringle helping Angie solve the murder。 Pringle especially complicates the weekend away for Charles & Angie。 He is always more of a nuisance because of his outrageous behavior。 But I love these stories。The Magical Mocha Latte is also enjoyable。 Nothing like magic in a drink to cause murder。 Ms。 Muth writes fun books。Murder, Mice & Everything Vice: This author is new to me but her story is good。What Ghost Around: I did not care for this one。 It is very short & was easily solvable。Murder in the Meow: This one is really cute with the "King Cat" helping point the heroine in the right direction to solve the murder。 I will look for more books by this author。 。。。more
Leigh Smith,
Jane Hinchey is back at it with the next book in her Ghost Detective series。 This time the gang is on vacation and accidentally stumbles onto a murder。 Filled with the usual snark and innuendos, this book is as awesome as the rest of the the series。 My only complaint - not really a complaint ;) - too short!! I finished it so quickly because I couldn’t put it down!! I can’t wait to read the next book!!
Iris,
This review is for "Murder of a Po' Boy" by Denise Jaden。 Mallory Beck wins a trip to New Orleans for two because she entered a recipe into a contest and won。 She and her 16 year old friend Amber head South taking along Mal's cat Hunch unexpectedly when the cat sitter cancelled。 It's a good thing actually because Hunch is well known for being a great "clue finder"。 The characters on the tour are an odd bunch and are quite interesting and or odd。 If the other stories in this anthology are as good This review is for "Murder of a Po' Boy" by Denise Jaden。 Mallory Beck wins a trip to New Orleans for two because she entered a recipe into a contest and won。 She and her 16 year old friend Amber head South taking along Mal's cat Hunch unexpectedly when the cat sitter cancelled。 It's a good thing actually because Hunch is well known for being a great "clue finder"。 The characters on the tour are an odd bunch and are quite interesting and or odd。 If the other stories in this anthology are as good as this one, I will need to post more reviews shortly! 。。。more

Eleven stories with some magic and mystery with adorable fur babies。 I haven't read anything by most of the authors, but I will check out their stories now。 This just whet my appetite。 I enjoyed all of them。 How could you not love all the furry friends who help their humans。 Good stories。 Eleven stories with some magic and mystery with adorable fur babies。 I haven't read anything by most of the authors, but I will check out their stories now。 This just whet my appetite。 I enjoyed all of them。 How could you not love all the furry friends who help their humans。 Good stories。 。。。more
Tera Comer,
If it is a collection, anthology or box set I am always buying them or grabbing them on KU and hoping that I find new authors to read! This collection was bought because it had What Ghost Around by Jane Hinchey in it。 I adore this series and the main character Audrey is so funny with how much of a klutz she really is at times。 I will say though when you find out how she finds her ghost case you will chuckle
Cathy,
Love Audrey in What Ghost Around。。。I love these stories。they keep getting better and better。。。。light mystery, some romance and great characters。 Very enjoyable read。
Stephanie,
I pre-ordered this book and I couldn't wait to read it。 I am reviewing Jane Hinchey's book what ghost around and as usual it is by far the greatest one of the series。 Audrey and Kade have won a trip and as usual it gets trippy and Audrey has had her coffee。 You will have to read this book that believe what happens to Audrey this time all I can say is it is hilarious。 I pre-ordered this book and I couldn't wait to read it。 I am reviewing Jane Hinchey's book what ghost around and as usual it is by far the greatest one of the series。 Audrey and Kade have won a trip and as usual it gets trippy and Audrey has had her coffee。 You will have to read this book that believe what happens to Audrey this time all I can say is it is hilarious。 。。。more

Nadine,
Great stories!So far, I’ve read three stories。 I will edit my review when I’ve read more。 Molly Fitz Grizzly Grievance - I’m always happy to be back with Angie and Octo-Cat。 First sentence and I’m already pulled in。 So more-ish, so one-more-chapter-ish that it kept me up way past my bedtime。 Which is the sign of a great story! And if you are not familiar with the Pet Whisperer PI series, then I do believe you can read this as a standalone, as everything is well explained。 Full of fun, full of sn Great stories!So far, I’ve read three stories。 I will edit my review when I’ve read more。 Molly Fitz Grizzly Grievance - I’m always happy to be back with Angie and Octo-Cat。 First sentence and I’m already pulled in。 So more-ish, so one-more-chapter-ish that it kept me up way past my bedtime。 Which is the sign of a great story!

R。A。 Muth The Magical Mocha Latte -It took me a little while to warm up to Zip, the main character - maybe a generation gap thingy? - but warm up I did。 The story grabbed me and was well written。 The pages turned themselves。 Basil the grumpy, three-legged cat and adorable, over-excited pup Loki really added a fun element to the story。 It may not be Muth’s best story IMHO, her full-length stories are better developed, but it was definitely hard to put down and it shows great promise for a new magical series! Patti Larsen Murder and Mice and Everything Vice -Persephone Pringle finds herself at the center of a massive storm that knocks out power, an infestation of mice the resort's cat does her best to eliminate and taking charge in a murder investigation when one of the guests turns up dead。 A lighthearted tone had me immediately liking this story。 This novella was a fun read。 I can’t wait to read more by this author。 。。。more

In Jane Hinchey's What Ghost Around, Audrey and Captain Cowboy Hot Pants are off to enjoy a luxurious holiday on a tropical island, thanks to Thor and Bandit, who entered a selfie contest and won。 They’re all looking for a relaxing vacation, until Audrey takes a surfing lesson and discovers the instructor dead。 She and her detective offer their help to the island’s police department, and the Wild Haven Lagoon Resort provides lots of suspects for Audrey and Kade to take into consideration。 This w In Jane Hinchey's What Ghost Around, Audrey and Captain Cowboy Hot Pants are off to enjoy a luxurious holiday on a tropical island, thanks to Thor and Bandit, who entered a selfie contest and won。 They’re all looking for a relaxing vacation, until Audrey takes a surfing lesson and discovers the instructor dead。 She and her detective offer their help to the island’s police department, and the Wild Haven Lagoon Resort provides lots of suspects for Audrey and Kade to take into consideration。 This was another fun installment in this series。 Audrey and Kade and the animals always provide lots of interesting antics。 The ghost this time is quite the ladies’ man, and he doesn’t want to give that up just because he’s dead。I love this series, and I hope it goes on and on and on。 Though this book is part of a series, it can easily be read on its own, as a standalone。 It’s a quick and entertaining read。I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the author through Bookfunnel。 I thank her for her generosity, but it had no effect on this review。 All opinions in this review reflect my true and honest reactions to reading this book。 。。。more

Misty,
I've only read Jane Hinchey's What Ghost Around so far。 I will update my review as I read the other stories in the collection。What Ghost Around by Jane Hinchey This was an okay story to continue with the Ghost Detective Series。 My main issue with this one is that it reads like a novella - meaning it seems a tad rushed。 The suspects are all from the same room and the culprit was found a little too easily。 Other than that, I enjoyed it。 There was something cool about Audrey's first encounter with I've only read Jane Hinchey's What Ghost Around so far。 I will update my review as I read the other stories in the collection。What Ghost Around by Jane Hinchey This was an okay story to continue with the Ghost Detective Series。 My main issue with this one is that it reads like a novella - meaning it seems a tad rushed。 The suspects are all from the same room and the culprit was found a little too easily。 Other than that, I enjoyed it。 There was something cool about Audrey's first encounter with the ghost, though I won't say what because that would give away the identity of the ghost/victim and it's more fun to find out yourself。 The characters were interesting and there were plenty of fun moments。 There were several suspects, which helps to keep things interesting。 Overall it was a decent story。 It just read a little rushed to me。 。。。more
Merry Chapman,
This is a review of Jane Hinchey's What Ghost Around。 This is an incredibly fun series and this short story should introduce anyone who hasn't read the books in this series。 The main character, Audrey who not only can see and talk to ghosts, her boyfriend, Captain of the detectives also know as Captain Hot Pants, Thor her pet cat, she inherited from her best friend, now a ghost and talking pet racoon。 Finally, Kade and Audrey can take a resort vacation thanks to Audrey entering her cat and racoo This is a review of Jane Hinchey's What Ghost Around。 This is an incredibly fun series and this short story should introduce anyone who hasn't read the books in this series。 The main character, Audrey who not only can see and talk to ghosts, her boyfriend, Captain of the detectives also know as Captain Hot Pants, Thor her pet cat, she inherited from her best friend, now a ghost and talking pet racoon。 Finally, Kade and Audrey can take a resort vacation thanks to Audrey entering her cat and racoon in a contest and winning。 They can finally go away and except for a short photo shoot, she and Kade can relax。 Or so they thought! While Kade goes snorkeling, Audrey decides to take a surfing lesson from the womanizing instructor。 She goes down to the beach looking for the instructor and not finding him she decides to try the surf herself。 When a rogue wave knocks her down and the surfboard gets her in the face, she gets out and goes to the instructor stand looking for a first aid kit and instead finds the dead instructor。 So begins their relaxing vacation。 And when the local constabulary finds out Kade is a detective, they enlist his help to find a murderer。 Meanwhile, the ghost of the surfing instructor when realizing he is dead, goes off to do his nasty womanizing。 What fun this one is。 You must read this series! Each book in this series can be read as a standalone。 I can't wait to see what Audrey and the gang have in store next! I received and ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own。 。。。more

Jeanne,
What Ghost Around by Jane Hinchey is part of the When the Cat's Away collection and the only story I’ve read in advance。 I forgot how clutzy Audrey was and apparently she did as well since she decided to take a surfing lesson。 This was a fun reminder of why I enjoy the the Ghost Detective series so much。 Galloway and Audrey help the locals investigate the death and I was surprised by the ending。 Having Bandit and Thor on vacation with them added a lot of humor。 I received an Advanced Reader What Ghost Around by Jane Hinchey is part of the When the Cat's Away collection and the only story I’ve read in advance。 I forgot how clutzy Audrey was and apparently she did as well since she decided to take a surfing lesson。 This was a fun reminder of why I enjoy the the Ghost Detective series so much。 Galloway and Audrey help the locals investigate the death and I was surprised by the ending。 Having Bandit and Thor on vacation with them added a lot of humor。 I received an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this story and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review。 。。。more
Marci,
I have read every book in this series, and love each story more than the last。 This story can be read as a stand alone if you haven't read the series, but I highly recommend both。 Audrey is the perfect character。 Clumsy, goofy, smart, and full of laughs。 She and Kade are in for another great mystery when her fur babies win them a family vacation in a contest。 I don't want to give any spoilers, you will just have to read it to see what happens。 I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Another fun filled mystery with my favorite clumsy sleuth, handsome detective and snarky familiars。 After a surf lesson, Audrey manages to hit herself in the face with her surfboard as only Audrey can, she finds a dead body。 Another fun mystery with my favorite clumsy detective。

Dora,
My review is for What Ghost Around by Jane HincheyFree vacations and with the man of your life! But almost ruined by having to spend the fun time solving another mystery。 That was what Audrey lacked the least! And our clumsy heroine remains undefeated in her record of finding dead people at her feet。 Interesting and very entertaining as the author kept me following clues intrigued to the end。 The pets were adorable and especially the racoon with its naivety。
Rebecca Brown,
Loved reading these awesome mysteries。 They have wonderful characters。 I highly recommend reading。。。
Lynall,
I read What Ghost around by Jane Hinchey - This book really made me smile - and I had lots of empathy for the surfing lesson :)What a great plot, and really entertaining characters。 I didn’t see the twist at the end coming, so top marks for this fun cozy mystery

Humor, suspense and an absolute clowder of feline sleuths。 From prequels of upcoming series to bonus stories in existing ones, this anthology has a little bit of everything。 I got the chance to see where some of my favorite characters are now and I’ve just added dozens and dozens more books to my always-growing list of things I MUST read (eventually)。 I had a lot of fun with this book and sorry it’s over already。 I want to know where all these characters go next。I received a complimentary advanc Humor, suspense and an absolute clowder of feline sleuths。 From prequels of upcoming series to bonus stories in existing ones, this anthology has a little bit of everything。 I got the chance to see where some of my favorite characters are now and I’ve just added dozens and dozens more books to my always-growing list of things I MUST read (eventually)。 I had a lot of fun with this book and sorry it’s over already。 I want to know where all these characters go next。I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the publisher。 。。。more
