I've read Anna Celeste Burke's cozy mysteries before, and like her others, Murder at Catmmando Mountain was a real treat and a quick read. From page one, I felt taken back to times spent at the amusement park, so it was enjoyable to read about the mechanisms that keep a park running smoothly while keeping it pristine for visitors and making sure employees perform their duties.Another plus in this novel was lead character, Georgie's feline named Miles (after jazz musician, Miles Davis). His personality shows some cats can be a riot, and I wanted him to visit my house. Who couldn't use a morning alarm system of a loud Yeow zinging into one's eardrum?Murder at Catmmando Mountain quickly jumps into the murder, and since it does, I don't think I'm inserting a spoiler to say it was a brutal attack on the daughter of Max Marley, owner of Marvelous Marley World Enterprises. Mallory was also known as Cruella de Vil, and not only was she vile to work associates, the thin waif collected men for the fun of it. Married, engaged, dating, or single, she didn't care who was left in her wake as long as this spoiled only child got what she wanted. Hated by almost everyone, the suspects were plentiful, however lead character Georgina Shaw turned up with a solid alibi taken by a state camera and clocked at the same time as the murder. Items belonging to Georgie continued to show up, from her cashmere scarf at the murder scene to the alleged murder weapon in her coat pocket. I kept guessing one person after another, meanwhile, homicide detective Jack Wheeler, was narrowing the extremely long list. And falling in love with lead character Georgie. The feeling was mutual as flying pheromones had Georgie hearing 'Snap, crackle, pop' every time the two were in close proximity.
