I have read all of the Bookmobile mysteries. It’s fun to see Minnie’s progression through her life and job. She and Rafe are very enjoyable and easy to relate to. This mystery was really a mystery up until the very end. Many times I can make a guess but this wasn’t one of them. It was very interesting to find out who the murderer was and the reasons why.
I look forward to the next book in this series.

Minnie, the bookmobile librarian, and Eddie, her adorable and strangely clairvoyant feline friend, stumble across a woman who has been shot with an arrow. Minnie (and Eddie) know that the woman's tragic death was no accident, and set out to unravel the mystery of her murder.

Rating: 4.5/5 stars.

The vibes of this book were SUPER cozy, typical of the bookmobile cat mysteries. I think we can all agree at this point- Eddie absolutely is some kind of magical feline familiar, considering how he basically solves the case every time. It's hilarious that the characters still show any resistance to the idea that Eddie is an all powerful being.

A mysterious old house, lots of new characters, and a high stakes ending made this a very fun read. I love the slow unfurling of some of the pricklier characters into warm friends. It was also fun following the relationship building of Minnie and Rafe as they navigate planning their honeymoon, despite clearly having no idea where to even begin 🤣

I would absolutely recommend this book to any cozy mystery lovers out there. I would even say that despite this being an installment in a series, it also could work as just a standalone. You really can just jump in pretty much anywhere with this series, the author does a good job of "catching up" as you read so you won't feel lost.

Galley and Berkley Publishing for the chance to read this in exchange for my honest reIt is always fun to visit with Minnie and Eddie the Bookmobile cat. In this adventure, Minnie and Julia are checking out a new area for the bookmobile to visit and of course Eddie takes off and in Minnie's efforts to find him, she stumbles across a woman who has been shot with an arrow.. Her dying words are "look behind the books". Minnie, with the assistance of Julia, new hubby Rafe and a host of others sets out to find justice for the victim., much to the dismay of Detective Hal Inwood.
This is the 13th entry in this series and the characters are just as much fun to hang out with as ever, Minnie and Rafe are newlyweds who are trying to figure out where to go on their honeymoon. I did find Rafe's attempts to hang a wifely nickname on Minnie a bit tiresome after awhile, but they have a sweet vibe that overall I enjoy. The plot moved along at a good pace with Minnie meeting each suspect and trying to eliminate them, even though the police have already gotten alibis for several of them. All in all this was a fun trip to Chilson, Michigan and I look forward to the next trip!
My thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for the chance to read an advance copy of this in exchange for my honest review.

In this latest instalment of the bookmobile mysteries, Minnie the newlywed librarian and her rescue cat Eddie happen upon a woman shot in the chest with a bow and arrow on their bookmobile route. The woman, who turns out to be a local surgeon, spoke her last word "behind the bookcase" to Minnie, leaving her determined to give her justice. Through the book we follow Minnie investigating suspects since the local police seem to think it an accident. Will Minnie solve this mystery?

I love Laurie Cass's writing! This was another cozy and easy to follow mystery full of chaotic cat moments, devious locals, and lots of books. Always a joy to cozy up with and have a mug of tea!

Thank you Berkley Publishing Group via Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I’ve really enjoyed the Bookmobile Cat Mysteries series, and it’s always a pleasure to hop back on the bookmobile with Minnie and her clever cat, Eddie. In this installment, Minnie uncovers some intriguing local history, which leads her to investigate a curious old house. But what she finds there turns out to be more than just a history lesson.

While I’ve loved all the books in the series, I have to admit this one felt like a bit of a letdown. The initial mystery was engaging as usual, but I missed the vibrant interactions with other characters that the earlier books offered. The investigation this time was mostly conducted online, and there wasn't as much active sleuthing or tension.

Much of the book focused on Minnie’s internal monologue and her thought process, which began to feel repetitive. I also found there was too much filler—lengthy descriptions of settings or activities that didn’t move the plot forward. In fact, I caught myself skimming several overly descriptive sections out of boredom.

Overall, it’s still a decent read and a nice addition to the series for longtime fans. But I hope the next book brings back more character dynamics and a livelier investigation.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy of this title. In the latest installment, Minnie learns some interesting information at the retirement home. This leads her down a rabbit hole investigating a pair of twin Victorian houses on a lake. The usual hijinks ensue. Another cute extension of Minnie's adventures.

I loved it! This is one of my favorite series. Minnie and Eddie are so adorable and I wouldn't have minded at all if the whole book was just conversations between the two of them. The mystery is great and I enjoyed being led this way and that while Minnie met up with her friends and family. Excellent author!

Minnie, Julia, and Eddie leave a new bookmobile stop and check out a nearby neighborhood that's been around since the late 1800s. While there Eddie escapes the bookmobile and leads Minnie on a chase to where a local doctor has been shot with an arrow. After learning that the woman died on the way to the hospital, Minnie feels compelled to seek out answers to the woman's death.
This has been a favorite series of mine since book 1. I love Minnie's relationships with Aunt Frances, Kristen, and of course Rafe. I also love her "conversations" with Eddie! Thank you Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC.

Book 'Em Eddie is a great addition to an overall excellent series. Eddie the bookmobile cat was 'mrr'-valous at trying to help Minnie and the mystery felt fresh and well done. My only complaint is that now that Minnie and Rafe are married, she has very little social interactions with other characters that had featured more prominently in previous books.

Minnie and Eddie stumble upon a dead body while doing a side stop on their way home from a bookmobile run. Minnie feels a connection with the woman since she found her. The story involving the death of the woman is a bit slow as Minnie has to do some real digging to justify her questions in to the death. The early marriage phase between Minnie and Rafe is cute to see.

The thirteenth installment in A Bookmobile Cat Mystery series has charm, humor, and a good mystery that reader’s have come to expect from Author Laurie Cass. Newlywed protagonist, Minnie, and husband, Rafe, are planning their honeymoon, but can’t decide where to go. A librarian assistant, who drives the Bookmobile, Minnie is caught up in a mystery involving the death of an orthopedic surgeon.

The story moved slowly to me, and I felt the dialogue overshadowed the murder mystery. However, this is a long-running series for book lovers and fans of Bookmobiles, and is sure to please many readers.

I honestly reviewed an unedited arc provided by NetGalley and Berkley Publishing. All opinions are my own.

Thank you, NetGalley, Berkley Publishing Group and Laurie Cass for this ARC.

Minnie is back with Eddie! They stumble upon a murder victim and Minnie wants justice for her even though she didn't know her. I usually get sucked into this series but this one was a struggle for me. Not sure why but I just couldn't get into it like the other books in this series. Not sure if it is because I'm still getting used to married Minnie and missing single Minnie. I do like Rafe, it is just going to take me awhile to get used to them. As for the mystery, it was interesting and as always, I couldn't figure out who did it. I won't give up on this series!

Laurie Cass does not disappoint with this latest installment of the bookmobile cat mystery series. Eddie, The Bookmobile Cat and his adopted human, newlywed assistant library director/ bookmobile librarian, Minnie discover another murder. With Eddie’s help, Minnie is determined to identify the killer. It is always interesting to follow Minnie and Eddie through the twists and turns to the truth.
