This book sure had some haters. I was surprised to read the negative reviews after finishing this book. I loved the history lesson about San Francisco. I am not sure how much is factual but the story was great. Many reviewers complained about the main character being nondescript, but I thought it was a charming way to write a book.

I am surprised that not one person complained about how the cats were written in a way that was unbelievable. The cats smiled and smirked and responded to humans as if they understood the humans. But the cats are not portrayed as magical, they are just cats. And somehow the cats would travel in tunnels and totebags, and travel carriers and walk in fashion shows. My cats do whatever they want, and dont give a hoot about a solving a mystery or being in a cat jewelry fashion show.

I thought it was a good book, I loved her quirky very well described characters. I loved the main character, I even loved her unbelievable cats. I love the store that she becomes the owner of. I love her new life. I loved the mystery and all the fun clues her uncle leaves behind.
