Mystery at the Biltmore #2: The Classified Catnapping by Colleen Nelson

4.0

Elodie has her own detective business, and she has to help find a missing cat. But this isn't just any old cat. This cat is famous. This cat is in the middle of shooting a movie and having a biography written. This cat is a wealthy heiress!
Elodie is joined by her dog, Carnegie, and her neighbor, Oscar, who loves tumbling and acrobatics. Most adults don't take a child detective seriously, but Elodie is determined to prove herself. She follows the clues and regards everyone as a suspect, but all the neighbors are so nice. None of them would steal a beloved cat... would they?

This is such a fun mystery! I loved the cute characters, and all the varied personalities of the neighbors. The mystery takes many twists and turns as Elodie tries to investigate every possible avenue of inquiry. Most of the time she hits a dead end, until one clue finally becomes clear.

The writing is simple (just right for this age group), but it also has a charm and warmth that draws the reader into the story. Even reading as an adult, I really enjoyed it!
