Meet Detective Shawn Danger and his cat Comet. Shawn is a homicide detective--a relentless, detail oriented, homicide detective whose entire life revolves around his job, his trampoline, and his cat. After the murder of a reclusive heiress and her pet turtle, Shawn may face his toughest case ever--that is if he can survive the mysterious cats taking over his house, the earthquakes, and attacks on his home and car. What will happen if he can't solve the case? And, how on earth will he solve the case now that the cats have taken over his trampoline?

Detective Danger, if a trampoline can make me half as observant as this man, I'm putting one in my living room tomorrow. He's determined not to miss a single detail of the crime scene, taking notice of everything down to the type of wood used in furnishings. Surely those skills make for great detective work but they make for some very detailed scenes, but once we move past his initial inspection of the house, the story picks up pace. What I loved about Shawn, was his attitude toward everything. He's a workaholic, yet he takes even the strangest events in stride--a trait that allows him to keep his wit when all else around him falls into chaos.

If there was anything I could say the book needed more of, it was Comet. He makes me miss my cat, Hawkeye. Like Comet, she had a way of communicating and a lovable yet strange, personality (although, I must also admit that Hawkeye also had a vengeful streak and a propensity for attacking my sister, but I digress). Even though the book isn't a comedy, it's not entirely straight-laced either, but what else would you expect from Nina Post?

I have numerous excerpts highlighted on my , and I'm sure my husband got tired of me shoving the computer toward him to read random passages that I couldn't keep to myself. So, I had quite a difficult time choosing my favorite quote to share with you, but I've decided on this mini-pep talk

Pathetic, Shawn. Think of those guys in Homicide Life on the Streets. Think of those guys on Law & Order. Did you see them on the floor under a trampoline, a giant cat cutting off most of their oxygen? No.

Nina Post, Danger in Cat World, Curiosity Quills Press.

Nina delivers a wonderful spin on the procedural murder mystery, keeping many of the same attributes I've loved about her other books; witty dialogue, quirky but loveable characters, and insane situations.

Check this one out, and add it to your bookshelf.
(Disclaimer I bought the book, and had no choice but to give it an honest review.)
Since this is by Nina Post you can expect witty dialogue, a twisty plot, quirky characters and an assured and accomplished author displaying a remarkably playful intelligence. Your expectations will be met. As an added bonus, the lead character, Shawn Danger, is more interesting, is better developed, and is much more complex and engaging than is usually the case, and this adds an extra dimension to the strengths I normally associate with a Nina Post book. Danger's eventual sidekick/love interest, Sarah Baio, was also better developed than one might expect.

I read Post for the word play, the dialogue and the witty deadpan throwaway lines, observations, and descriptions. Plot is never a very high priority. If you require tightly plotted and rigorous mysteries or police procedurals you should probably be warned that this book wanders off the straight and narrow from time to time and is not above spoofing mystery conventions. On the other hand, if you like your mysteries a little off kilter this could be a great find.

Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.
I did enjoy this read, and straight up mystery procedurals are admittadily not my typical thing. I suppose I was drawn in by the cat aspect, which was pretty neat, although it left me with a bit of a head scratch. The main character Shawn Danger is a homicide detective that is quirky to say the least. He has a equally quirky pet cat named Comet and then a whole lot of other cats start showing up over the course of a murder investigation. I guess that can be the problem with mixed-genre novels like this one. As a detective murder mystery, the solve was just too easy, and mystery fans will find it somewhat lacking. On the science fiction side, the alternate universe/many quantum cats thing was a cool twist, but left mostly Unsolved, which was also not terribly satisfying. My other slight issue was with Danger, for he seemed to switch personality traits very quickly (from being a bit of geeky loner to Mr. Sexy-wanting to throw down his girl and have at it) in the space of a heartbeat. Quirky, yes, but also kind of didn't fit sometimes. I don't know if this was a result of the parallel universe--but if so that was not made clear. Other potentially interesting characters that lived in the murdered heiresses's house were introduced meticulously, and then completely lost or forgotten. A fun and quick reading effort, but overall also an uneven one.
This was a delightful mystery, sci fi and maybe a little romance story that was a refreshingly different mystery. Our hero seems to be more obsessed with his work than even Sherlock. He is a work alcoholic who has to have the highest solve rate. His big case comes along and he encounters strange happenings. He meets the daughter of a lawyer that he wants to spend the rest of his life with. But the twists and turns start happening. His beloved cat is catnapped and he has to get him back. Cats start appearing in his home. Well crafted story with characters we would like to know.
