Autor Clea Simon

Theda Krakow is in a funk. Her sometime boyfriend is gone, her beloved cat has died, and the career leap she's made from copy editor to freelance writer has left her finances—and her spirit—flat. She desperately needs a headline. One day, strolling in her Cambridge neighborhood, Theda spies an adorable stray kitten who leads her to an old woman holed up in a decrepit house full of cats. Could this be the story to catapult Theda out of the dumps? Or deeper into something more sinister?

Recenzii

"Mew Is for Murder" by Clea Simon (Poisoned Pen Press, $24.95, 224 pages) is the newest mystery for cat lovers. It's also one of the best. Protagonist Theda Krakow is a freelance writer. When she's on an assignment for a Boston paper to write a story about a woman who might be a cat hoarder, Theda finds the old woman dead. Theda isn't convinced it's an accident.
Theda's a first-rate new sleuth. She's vividly portrayed and she's likable. Unlike the little old ladies who usually solve cat mysteries, Theda is in
her 30s, hip and a serious fan of rock music.
The minor characters are also deftly written. For example, there's a purple-haired barista and lesbian rocker who was friends with the murdered woman and her cats. And there's the rock music critic at the daily newspaper -- complete with balding head and little gray ponytail.
"Mew Is for Murder" has some flaws. Theda got a little too much help for my taste from a clue-giving cat in solving the murder -- especially since this
is an otherwise realistic tale. I also don't understand why female sleuths always refuse to tell their cop friends important little details -- like someone slipping drugs into Theda's Diet Coke.
Still, it's a well-written, absorbing, character-based mystery. It's a great book for snuggling on the couch with your favorite cat on an autumn evening. I hope there will be many more Theda Krakow books to come. -- Deborah Wood,
