Blue as Blue Jeans - Biscuit McKee Mysteries, #4

Sam returns to Martinsville after an absence of several decades, just in time for the annual Halloween celebration at the town library. Biscuit, the town librarian, is the only one who's not in on the joke as long-time residents recall some of Sam's antics as a kid-antics apparently shared with Biscuit's relatively new husband Bob. When a grisly murder is discovered the next day, with a body tangled in the storm wreckage of the town dock, Bob and Biscuit-and of course Biscuit's cat Marmalade-are caught up in the repercussions of long ago events that came to call that stormy Halloween night. Review: It is with pleasure that we can welcome the fourth installment of Fran Stewart's "rainbow" mystery series featuring the wholly feline Marmalade and her human companion, Biscuit McKee. Unlike so many cat stories that turn cats into cutesy sleuths, the Biscuit McKee Mystery Series allows Marmalade to be a cat.
Anyone who truly knows cats will appreciate Marmalade-McKee's wholly independent, sincerely loving, completely feline, empathic partner in life and crime. If you are new to the series, do please enjoy your trip to Martinsville in Blue as Blue Jeans, but don't stop here. Go back and see what happened in Orange as Marmalade, Yellow as Legal Pads, and Green as a Garden Hose. Then, with the rest of us, wait in anticipation for the rest of the rainbow to reveal its colors.--Brian J.
