Will the ghosts of Christmas Past wreak vengeance on the present? Can our feline detectives dig themselves out of a spooky festive fiasco? And will the sausage rolls and sherry last until midnight?
Jump on board for a cat-a-strophic sleigh ride into a snow drift full of Christmas spirits.
What did I think?
Six Tails at Midnight is the fifteenth book in No. 2 Feline Detective Agency series but it's the first book in the series that I've read so it can definitely be read as a standalone. It's a short book with 109 pages so it's easy to read in one sitting and perfect for re-reading over the festive period (which I plan to do).
The cat characters are well-developed and although it's the first time I have met them, I took to them straight away. It is very amusing to see place names, sayings and even author names given a feline twist and I laughed out loud on many occasions.
The storyline is fun and spooky, kind of like A Christmas Carol with cats. I loved everything about it from the fabulous cover of the pocket-sized hardback to the fabulous characters and the vividly described scenery.
Six Tails at Midnight is a spooky festive tale that is incredibly entertaining and witty. I will definitely be looking to read the earlier books in the series and can't wait to meet my new feline friends again.
I received a gifted hardback to read and review for the Random Things Tours blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
