{MORE ABOUT THE CASE OF THE JEWEL COVERED CAT STATUES}
Buckley and Bogey, Cat Detectives, find their next big case with the Buckley and Bogey Cat Detective Agency to be their most complicated ever! It all starts when someone hides a mysterious package in their Mom’s antique store – in the middle of the night! Of course, the boys find it, and put it in a nice, safe place, until they can open it . . . and, find the rightful owner. But that’s when a whole bunch of suspicious people show up in St. Gertrude, and every single one of them seems to be after that package! Holy Catnip! Plus, everything happens just when a priceless, jeweled statue collection goes on display at the St. Gertrude Museum. Missing from that collection are two jewel covered cat statues that disappeared almost a hundred and fifty years ago.
But soon Buckley and Bogey wonder how long those statues will stay missing. Because this is one case that really keeps them on their paws! From a trip to the Museum, and to an old church for the Blessing of the Animals; and from dinosaurs to diamonds, they end up dodging shady suspects the whole time. It sure helps to have their friends with them, especially when the bad guys make a beeline for boys. That’s because it becomes very clear, very quick — the priceless cat statues aren’t the only cats those crooks are after! Holy Mackerel!
My take on this book:
From the beginning pages of this book I was hooked! After all I am a huge fan of mysteries where the main characters are cats and with The Case of the Jewel Covered Cat Statues we get two Buckley and Bogey two felines who have a knack for solving mysteries and even have their own detective agency. Heck these two felines can even read and use the computer! I love seeing events unfold thru the cat eye view of Buckley which really makes for an interesting read! I love a well written mystery and this book provides that easily. Fast paced and easy to read the feline duo also provides more than a few laughs as they do their thing. They have plenty of habits that are so like my own cats especially the treat eating ! Along with the mystery Ms. Vincent also weaves in several valuable lessons about family, faith and loyalty that really adds another layer to the story.
This is the purrfect mystery for cat lovers and mystery fans alike. Easy to read chapter book for youngsters but I think all ages will enjoy this well written mystery. While this book is actually the third book in the series the author provided enough background information that it can easily be read as a stand alone book. That said I really want to read the first two in the series because I want more from Buckley and Bogey.
