Murder past due is first in a series of books about a librarian and his cat. Set in the south in the quiet town of Athena, Mississippi.

Charlie throughout the book expresses that he is a book lover and works three days a week at the college library as a archivist, volunteers the local public library, and frequents the local bookstore in town, his favourite genre being (or course) mysteries. It is a surprise when, local hometown star and famous writer, Godfrey Priest, an old classmate of Charlie's shows up during his latest book tour, to accept an award for his work, and wants Charlie to catalog his papers for the university, which he has donated. Godfrey then doesn't show up to accept this award that the benefit in his honor, and turns up murdered his hotel room.

also as mentioned on the cover the title character is Diesel, a rescue cat that Charlie takes in and seems to be a companion animal more than a sleuth himself. He's a" therapy" cat and seems to calm anybody's moods around him. He's also a main coon cat which is breed I have not heard about, as described is larger than most cats, so he's able to be walked like any dogs, with a leash and harness.

So if you're into cats like most cozy leaders or books like myself this would be an interesting series to check out?

Murder Past Due Cat in the Stacks Mystery Miranda James Books Reviews

I actually read "Classified as Murder" (the 2nd novel in the A Cat in the Stacks Mystery series) and then read "Murder Past Due" (the 1st novel in the series).

This new series is a delight! I love the librarian jargon!

Main character Charlie Harris has a wonderful schedule - Working three (3) days a week as a cataloger of the rare book collection at the college library and also answering various reference questions if they are related to a historical aspect of the college or the library's archives and rare books. Charlie also volunteers at the local public library. Another special joy is to read of Charlie's patronage of the town's independent bookstore.

As the introduction to the new series characters begins, we also meet Diesel, a Maine Coon cat, originally discovered as a shivering kitten and rescued by Charlie two (2) years ago from the parking lot of the public library. Now everyone in town recognizes Charlie and Diesel as when the two (2) are out walking together, Charlie walks Diesel on a leash and it is rare to see one without the other.

They know each other's habits and talk with one another particularly when they are alone. Without a doubt, the descriptions of man and cat convey the unconditional love that comes to one life's after rescuing a kitten. That is not to say that Charlie is master of the house as every cat owner knows that "Dogs have owners" and "Cats have staff". Diesel is no exception and has his needs addressed by favorite friends at various locations in town to his purring bliss.

A charming new series and I can't wait to read more of the adventures of Charlie and Diesel!

I am giving this novel 4 out of 5 stars due to the number of copy edit errors that are distracting to me as a reader. I am hopeful for improvement as the series continues.
"Murder Part Due" by Miranda James

The cover of this book hooked me. I mean a cat, books, and well, books in a library! What is not to love?

Murder Past Due is set in a small Mississippi town named Athena. Athena is a small, quiet town where Charlie and Diesel live. Charlie had recently moved back and brought Diesel with him. As they walk the streets they make quite a pair. Charlie and Diesel tag team in the library. Charlie works there, and Diesel sleeps there. The perfect setup for the impending trouble.

Small town gossip flies as Godfrey, the best-selling novelist, slides into town on a book tour. Then things and life become interesting for Charlie & Diesel.

This book is the first in the new (new to me) series, Cat in The Stacks. At first, I found the book sluggish. I believe it was the characters and not the plot. After a period of the time, the characters did develop, and the plot moved sufficiently forward that I could see the characters more clearly in my mind's eye. In saying that, I did not find myself sympathetic to some of the characters as I knew I was supposed to feel. Those few characters had much to do and say in the plot, but I felt they were more two-dimensional than the book needed.

Let me add this, Charlie does an excellent job of sleuthing, and several people have taken notice. I will read the next book in the series. And if you read /follow my reviews you know that I will not complete a set if I do not like the first book I read whether it is the first bok in the series or the last book in a series. So yes, I think 'Cat in The Stacks' books are worth my reading time and dollars.
I finished the first one and its so-so. The cat has nothing to do with solving mysteries. It just purrs and cuddles people, kind of an emotional support. The "detective" is kind of a fuddy-duddy, right out of a 1950s Leave it to Beaver story. VERY outdated, and bland writing. "I went up stairs, brushed my teeth, put on my pajamas, and went to bed". Boring! I can't recommend it. I was a big fan of Lillian Jackson Braun's series, The Cat Who..., and the main character was an investigative reporter, who had a lot of character and was fully described where you could visualize him, & worked with 2 sharp-witted Siamese cats, who were the best part of the story. She was a very prolific writer. You won't regret reading hers.
