I expected a quick mystery because of the page count (81 pages) but I didn't expect the story to feel like the synopsis of a longer novel. It was rushed, the storytelling was clipped and poorly edited, and the resolution was a little ridiculous. I wanted a cozy cat mystery, but this just didn't do it for me. Maybe the full series is better, but I read this to get a feel for the series as a whole, so it's unfortunate that I didn't care for it.
