Stars: ★★★☆☆
It's more of a 2½ stars. Definitely not Ms. Jackson Braun's best. So many of her later stories are about a transition of some sort and this is no exception. Polly is transitioning from her job at the library to a bookstore. Quill and the cats are transitioning to their winter quarters. Multiple characters move to Pickax to escape their past. This story doesn't have a true mystery, at least not one that is solved. It's more like a snapshot into the town in a time of change. The chapters seem short and unfinished. It's fine to fall asleep to and not as bad as some of her other later books, but nothing to keep the attention.
I would recommend this to: A fan of the Cat Who books. Not a great introduction to the series but an OK read otherwise.
