Cat Seeing Double takes place several months after Cat Laughing Last. Charlie Getz is marrying Max Harper. Ryan Flannery drives back to Molena Point to attend the wedding as Clyde Damon's date. The cats (Joe Grey, Dulcie, and Kit) get to the church and find places to watch the ceremony. Kit chooses a roof and when a boy with a strange control climbs the roof, she puts things together and realizes there is a bomb in the church. Kit rushes to warn Clyde and then goes back to try to stop the boy. Luckily most of the people were out of the building when the bomb went off. The boy is caught and things look like they'll get back to normal. That is, until, Ryan finds her soon to be ex-husband's body in her garage and she looks like the most likely suspect.

Once again the cats swing into action to protect their human friends and to find a killer and a bomber. What they don't know is if the death of Ryan's husband is connected to the bombing or just a coincidence. While the mystery is central to the book, the book is also a chance to catch up again with the characters from the past Joe Grey mysteries. These books now have a large cast of characters and not all characters are involved in all the books so little asides that bring us up to date on characters who haven't been heard from lately make them seem like visits with friends.

I loved this latest in the Joe Grey series! Was glad to read Clyde and Joe finally getting along,with less arguing, etc.

In Cat Seeing Double, mayhem strikes early: Max and Charlie's wedding is interrupted by a bombing that is only narrowly thwarted by Kit, the third talking cat in this series. No sooner is the excitement of the bombing over, than Ryan (Clyde's new love) finds her estranged husband dead in her garage with all the signs pointing to her as the murderer.

With such a beginning as that, is it any wonder that this book is a fast-paced page-turner?

To those who are not familiar with the Joe Grey series, the detective in these books is not one but acutally three cats who through a bizarre string of events learn to talk and read in English and have befriended people who are close to the local Chief of Police and his head detective. The series always contains a murder or two and the solutions to these mysteries always involves the cats snooping some clues out and then notifying the authorities about them via anonymous phone calls. The policemen do not know that the cats are their informants and the three humans who know about the cats are not telling!

Things are getting more interesting now as one of the humans who knows about the cats is Charlie who just married Max the Chief of Police who does not know about the cats. In the course of this investigation, Joe Grey (the cat) calls Max's cell phone only to speak with Charlie who answers it but then passes it on to her husband. And so it goes.

The mystery itself is quite complex involving both a bombing and a murder. But to keep things even more tangled, there is significant illicit drug involvement and even some personality swapping and old-time revenge. All of this is tied up with some affairs that involve relatives of some of the major characters rather than the characters themselves.

The cats have to do all kinds of duty in this one from figuring out 'who done it', to finding ways to tip off the authorities. Since the case is very convoluted and inventive, it takes a while to straighten everything out.

To keep things even more exciting, the author introduces a new minor character into the mix - A dog that has the exact same coloration as Joe. I wonder if that dog will stick around and become a more significant part of the series? There are certainly enough hints sprinkled throughout the book that Rock (the dog's name) will be around for a long while and will take on a more major role. Rock, you see, is not a typical dog and immediately accepts the very close proximity of the three cats without alerting his human owners about them...

To those who know this series, this is a great addition which will keep you guessing about what is going on almost till the end. This is even a fun read for people new to the series but I would recommend you read some of the earlier ones first as there are references to earlier volumes and events scattered throughout this volume.

As to the soap opera parts of the lives of the main characters, there is very litle evolution here with the major event being Max and Charlie's wedding. Ryan and Clyde get a litle closer and Ryan gets out of her entanglement with her previous husband but that is really all that happens of major events. There is mention of the five older ladies and their doings but nothing really earth shattering. I guess we will learn more when we read "Cat Fear No Evil".

This is one of the finest series of cat mysteries out there. We enjoy every volume!

I am a very big fan of this series, however, this entry left something wanting. Mainly, the problems were things a good editor should have caught, and they occurred throughout the book. For example, a character would be physically described one way, and a few paragraphs later have a different description. I enjoyed the plot and the evolution of the Kit. I hope the next book is more cleanly written, because I really love this series, and the obvious, careless mistakes take away from the enjoyment.
