PRAISE FOR TITLES BY MIRANDA JAMES
PRAISE FOR
Out of Circulation
“This installment of the adventures of Charlie and Diesel has all the twists and turns that make a good mystery a great read.”
—Sharon’s Garden of Book Reviews
“The old Southern charm recollects Rita Mae Brown’s Sneaky Pie series (without the talking animals), while Charlie’s investigative techniques may bring some of Agatha Christie’s characters to mind.”
—Library Journal
“Like its predecessors, Out of Circulation offers a pleasing blend of crime and charm, filled with familiar and cherished characters, biped and quadruped.”
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
“Even if you don’t like cats, there’s plenty to enjoy in this traditional cozy.”
—RT Book Reviews
“This fourth installment of the Cat in the Stacks series keeps you involved until the last page.”
—Cozy Mystery Book Reviews
File M for Murder
“Readers who have come to love Charlie and Diesel and the small-town ambience of Athena will find File M for Murder another pleasant diversion, complete with an intriguing plot in which the silence of the library threatens to become the silence of the grave.”
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
“This charming, classic cozy features full-on Southern charm. Well plotted and evenly paced, with fairly laid out clues for those who like to solve along with the sleuth. Charlie and Diesel are a delightful detective team, and the idea of a male amateur sleuth/librarian with a cat is a refreshing twist on an old trope.”
—RT Book Reviews
“Will make you a cat lover if you are not already one.”
—Once Upon a Romance
“This cozy mystery makes for a leisurely and enjoyable read. It is well plotted, and the protagonist and the secondary characters are multidimensional and likable. And of course, there’s Diesel . . . a thoroughly lovable cat who is an integral part of the story.”
—The Conscious Cat
“James has [a] winner with this one, readers won’t want to miss it.”
—Debbie’s Book Bag
Classified as Murder
“Bringing local color to life, this second entry in the series . . . is a gentle, closed-room drama set in Mississippi. Ideal for Christie fans who enjoy a good puzzle.”
—Library Journal
“Readers will enjoy this entertaining regional whodunit as the librarian and the cat work the case.”
—Genre Go Round Reviews
“A hit with bibliophiles and animal lovers, not to mention anyone who likes a well-plotted mystery. The characters are unique and often eccentric. Having a male amateur sleuth with a subplot that explores his relationship with his adult son brings a fresh twist to the genre.”
—RT Book Reviews
Murder Past Due
“Combines a kindhearted librarian hero, family secrets in a sleepy Southern town, and a gentle giant of a cat that will steal your heart. A great beginning to a promising new cozy series.”
—Lorna Barrett, New York Times bestselling author
“Courtly librarian Charlie Harris and his Maine coon cat, Diesel, are an endearing detective duo. Warm, charming, and Southern as the tastiest grits.”
