I enjoyed the story. This is the first time I have read this author and I was very interested in knowing if the cats were going to save their owner and how they would do it if so. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review. |

Lisa and Bruce decide to kill Jamie since he added Lisa to his will. Unfortunately, Jamie’s cat, Scottie, overhears the two plotting to poison his human and wonders how he can warn Jamie. Scottie tries to enlist Jamie’s other cat, Tanzy, in his efforts to save Jamie and the various attempts make for an entertaining afternoon, especially for feline fans. Only 128 pages long, The Cat Behind the Curtain is an engaging read. |

A cat was behind a curtain minding his own business when he overhears that his owner will be murdered by his cheating live-in girlfriend. What's a self-respecting kitty to do? This short novel has the cat & his feline companions making life miserable for the would-be murderers. |

Scottie overhears his owner Jamie's girlfriend plot to kill him and Scottie knows he must stop her... but how, he's just a cat! Can Scottie stop the murder happening? Can he get some help to do so? Or is it a lost cause? A thrilling and funny tale that kept me reading until I had finished it in one sitting. I really enjoyed it and found it to be a very unique book. Recommended! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of the book in return for my honest feedback. |

As a dog lover with also a cat I was interested what this book could be about. Aren't cat's boring just sleeping and eating? Oh no, this is an interesting story about cats with their typical behaviors trying to stop a crime. It’s a proper crime book involving greed, family drama and murder and of course a few cats. I would suggest it to all cat lovers and people thinking about getting a cat as it includes all their bad and sweet moments and an interesting murder plot. Cats trying to save the life of the man who saved them. |

I have never read a mystery with the main perspective being the cat’s! I loved it. The mystery itself was a good one, credible and suspenseful. But the cat was the hero of the book for me in more ways than one. This quirky way to tell a story really added a sense of fun to the book. Loved it, loved it, loved it! |

Thank you NetGalley, Peter Scottsdale and BooksGoSocial for the ARC of The Cat Behind the Curtain. This is my personal review. Scottie hears Lisa plotting to talking to kill Jamie who is Lisa’s boyfriend. She is planning this with her secret boyfriend, Bruce. The only problem Scottie is going to have is how to let Jamie know this is in the works to happen soon. You see Scottie is Jamie’s cat. Scottie tries to get Tanzy- Jamie’s other cat to help stop the murder. You will have to read this cozy murder book to find out how things turn out. It is a short read but very enjoyable. This is the first book in A Cozy Cat Crime Caper series. |

The book was delightful. If you love cats, or ever had pets you will thoroughly enjoy this book. Jamie (the human), has two cats, one of whom hears the plot to kill their owner. The cat leaps into action to try and save him. The book is a lovely quick read, with loads of jokes (you will def understand if you have pets). When I finished reading I cuddled with both my cats. And hope they save me if someone ever wants to kill me. The book made me want to read more of Peter's work. |

A sweet short read that had me smiling. The author knows his cats. I was rooting for Scottie the entire time. Tansy reminds me of my present cat who doesn't suffer fools. She and Tansy have a lot in common. Brave Scottie is determined to save his beloved human. Sweet story. Great read. |

This is so charming and such a fun read ! This is the debut in the new cat cozy series "Cozy Cat Thriller " series by author and cat lover Peter Scottsdale. This is a engaging fun read that I recommend for all of us that are owned by our cats and love all things cat. This is told from the perspective of the cat as the protagnist. Scottie is a 8 year old cat who has a pet parent named Jamie. Jamie has a criminal girlfriend unknown to him who plots to kill him with her boyfriend. Jamie has no idea and Scottie must find a way to communicate to Jamie he is in danger while he stops the crime. .He has two other cat companions but they are true cats in nature and not wanting to help. He finds his bravery to stop the evil plot and save his owner . This is a very cleverly done mystery that was fun to read and had great antics by all the cats. The author clearly knows cats and he writes of them so well that you feel you know these cats. I loved it !!! Review cross posted. |

The writing was occasionally good, with a few genuinely humorous moments and some highly quotable lines. Cat Behind The Curtain was a solid, enjoyable story if somewhat predictable. Highly recommended for cat lovers who crave a good mystery. |
