From the comments I've been getting, quite a few of you have read this book so I'll keep it brief. Murder Past Due follows library archivist/amateur sleuth Charlie Harris and his trusty sidekick Diesel as they try to solve the mystery of the murdered mystery writer. Trouble is, Godfrey Priest is ...
Series: Cat in the Stacks #1 A well-known author of crime thrillers is murdered in his hometown and Charlie Harris, a librarian with a Maine coon cat called Diesel, feels compelled to help the cops investigate. The murder mystery aspect was okay although definitely still finding its sea legs, but ...
Diesel is the name of Charlie’s Maine Coon Cat. They are larger than your average variety. Charlie Harris, the librarian of the Archive Department of Athena’s library, narrates, “Strangers sometimes stopped us on the street to ask if he was a weird-looking dog—and I’d swear Diesel looked offended ...
This is the first book I have read by this author. It is a slightly different cozy, since the protagonist is a man. I enjoyed the writing and the story, but I did find the cat irritating after a while. The author told us over and over again the same things about the cat. I will read some more in...

When his college freshman border leaves the kitchen a mess, he takes that and a few days of moodiness to assume that something is wrong and that the kid may have tur...
I enjoyed this quite a lot. The sleuth in this series is actually Charlie Harris, not Diesel the cat. However, Diesel /was/ a presence, and I was pleased to see that the author made the cat intelligent, but not excessively so. I love my Maine Coon, too, but I don't think he'll be solving crimes any...
I resisted reading this book, as the description didn't appeal to me, even though I love mysteries with cats in them. But I was on vacation and desperate for something to read, so I picked it up and really enjoyed it. It's a laid-back, relaxing mystery with really solid characters. I even went back ...
