I first "met" Trouble earlier this spring when I read "Year-Round Trouble: 14 Original Cozy Holiday Mysteries" and to share my first impressions from that book review,

"...I purred in my human reading pleasure way for the wondrous names that a charismatic cat I’ve never met before named 'Trouble' has for humans, the things humans do, the things human say, etc...Trouble appears very sophisticated perhaps because he has modeled and honed his sleuthing talents learning 'his skills from his dad (Familiar), but also from watching his hero, Benedict Cumberbatch, on the telly as Sherlock Holmes.' Accordingly, Trouble has an occasional slip into British slang." I knew I wouldn't hesitate to spend more time reading about this incredible feline detective.

Trouble is residing with proprietress Ginger Browne at The Paradise Bed and Breakfast in Key West while Trouble's owner and Ginger's friend, Tammy Lynn is on a cruise. Trouble's resilience and adaptability to new surroundings are second to none. His communication skills whether convincing a bi-ped (human) to follow him, open a closed door, and conveyance of epicure taste is to be admired and becomes highly respected by all he encounters. Many of Trouble's encounters around and about "Paradise" are with the Hemingway cats, Megs/Mitzi Gaynor and Bartholomew/Lou Costello who enjoy a stroll away from their home grounds. Their interactions are priceless!

I don't know who enjoys their vacation time apart more, Tammy or Trouble. Without a doubt, it is clear that resourceful Trouble is keen to meet all new adventures and will not hesitate to solve the latest murder as the master detective on the case! The local police department may not always give Trouble the credit due but readers know who really did solve the case!

I can't wait to learn where Trouble will turn up next! If you haven't met Trouble yet, you're in for a Paw-some time that will be Un-fur-gettable! ( )
