Brenda Quinn's cat has gone missing - and who better to find him again but the village's very own Green Fingered Sleuth, retired vicar Cedric Malleson. After an initial meeting with Brenda, Cedric and his sidekick and friend, Tanya, discover there is more to the disappearance of Brenda's cat than meets the eye. But what is the link between a missing cat, a missing woman, an elderly gentleman falling down the stairs and then, the disappearance of Cedric's own cat, Rubens? To take Cedric's mind off missing cats, his daughter Scarlet, arranges for him to take ownership of an allotment, where she can develop her father's YouTube career into vegetable growing and the organic lifestyle. However, Cedric soon finds out that allotment life isn't so much of a relaxing enterprise as he thought when he finds himself in the midst of a deadly plot.
My Thoughts
This is actually book 2 of The Green Fingered Sleuth Mysteries but the first one I am reading. It is a short read and enjoyable.
The Village of Hebbington is quaint, with the bases around allotments and a lifestyle featuring cats and a suspected catnaper!
I liked the characters, they were all engaging and provided something to the plot and sub plot within the book. When Ruben goes missing who is Cedrics cat the wheels are set in motion to find the cat unharmed and uncover a mystery of what is happening in the village.
However Cedric soon learns that someone is really going out there way to stopping him solve the crime, with trolls leaving horrible comments on his YouTube channel, to vandalism at his allotment and break ins at the office, but that won't stop Cedric!
Also not everyone appears to be who they say they are and that twist surprised me.
I would definitely recommend as it is a cosy crime but gives enough to keep you engaged and thrilled.
