      Cute storyline with interesting and believable characters. The storyline was interesting enough to keep your interest and want you to continue. I like the candy cane pue recipe at the end if the book.

      A night of fun and music at a town festival turns into a morning of sorrow when one of the band members is found murdered. The band, made up of locals, had reunited after many years, and was a surprise act that everyone loved. When Mike is murdered, no one can believe that anyone could have hated the popular and beloved dentist. It must have been a home robbery gone wrong. Only it wasn’t. And while Marcus, as the lead detective, is working the case, and Kathleen, professional librarian and amateur sleuth, is helping him, it is really the magical cats, Hercules and Owen, who are the key to solving the murder. It’s a well-written and engrossing mystery, peopled with likable characters and amazing cats, and one that will keep readers guessing who the murderer is. This series never gets old, and each book is a great addition.

      This is a follow-up to Guinn's "Autobiography of Santa Claus," which I haven't read. This "autobiographical" work tells the story of how Mrs. Claus "saved" Christmas during the time of Cromwell's rule in England in 1647. The only reason I finished the book, was because I was interested in the historical facts. Mrs. Claus is alone in England (with the exception of a couple of Santa's helpers) during the English Civil War. Santa Claus is in the New World establishing Christmas traditions there. Mrs. Claus stayed behind in England because she "sensed" the Puritans meant to do away with Christmas "forever."I didn't enjoy this book much. The sentence structure was simplistic and the characters were one-dimensional. I'm not sure who Guinn thought his audience was. It was too plodding and slow for a juvenile audience and too elementary for adults. Again, I only finished it because I was interested in the historical aspects, but I really wanted to just put it down and re-read "Skipping Christmas'' by John Grisham.
    • 3/5
      Guinn follows up a fine effort of melding history, mythology, and faith in "Autobiography of Santa Claus" with a tedious and forced effort in "Mrs. Claus". In trying to set the historical stage, he variously repeats himself, gets off onto tangents, uses a hammer to make his point about women's equality, and, generally, makes the story hard to follow. This makes it tough reading for the child who would appreciate hearing Mrs. Claus's own story, while making it no fun for the adult, either. Still, the whole concept of the Claus's autobiographies is well thought out, and, if you are patient with the writing, it does provide a fine account of what England was going through during and after the Civil War.
