CRYSTALS, BELLADONNA, AND MURDER
Silver Circle Cat Rescue Mysteries, Book 1

by Leanne Leeds

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Production by: Leanne Leeds

Quirky, Mysterious, and Fun!

Eleanor Rockwell receives a special guest at her Cat Rescue center – a cat named Belladonna. The sheriff’s deputy delivers Belladonna, whose owner is an accused murderer, along with her silver tray into the care of Eleanor. That’s when the fun begins and Eleanor and her staff become entangled in murder, an evil mayor, small-town gossip, and 27 million dollars!

Leanne Leeds, the author, weaves a magical story with interesting characters and a storyline that will keep you listening and at times laughing. The quirky Belladonna is fun and entertaining in a condescending manner – she is the epitome of cats! Leeds reveals the storyline slowly and deliberately while building the characters. I found myself loving each and every character, well, almost all of them. Leeds is very descriptive and paints the characters vividly with her words. The plot twists were well done and natural. The dialogue flowed well also.

The narrator, Meghan Kelly once again gives a wonderful performance! She brings each character to life and mesmerizes with her voice. Kelly is gifted at assigning unique voices to each character and being consistent. Her energy and flawless delivery are key! I am always amazed at how Kelly can capture the essence of each character vividly and yet slip in and out of them fluidly. I truly enjoy listening to Kelly.

This is a great cozy mystery further enhanced by the narrator, Meghan Kelly! Don’t miss it!
