So, you say you love cats… And even more, you love your cozy mysteries with cats… Not just a cat purring at your side while you read your cozies… But a cat (or maybe two or three!) in your cozy mysteries. Then, here is a list of books that might just interest you, the cozy-cat lover… Avery Aames writes the Cheese Shop Mystery Series , which has a Ragdoll cat (Rags).
