When I saw Nevada Barr's name, I immediately downloaded what turned out to be a short story. I've been a fan of Nevada from The Track of the Cat way back when, so it's a normal purchase to read her, although I wouldn't normally review a short story... This is in memory of Alley... and Not Just Another Review...(on my blog...)But there really wasn't an option for me! When I learned what happened to Alley, I was all for what she had planned...Wreaking Vengeance -- Thy name is Cat Lover....I loved this Spoof!If readers take it, the way Barr wrote it, they will enjoy it as much as I did.After all, cats are loved just like family members for many of us...But if your cat is murdered, would you go to the police??? Even if you had been an eye witness? Well, Alley's Mom knew that Alley had not been the first that Hugh Jacobs had killed!Thoughts of the death penalty began...First, find out the name of that killer!Check him out! He was on Facebook!Surveillance!Katie, my neighbor, and I found out where he lived, and his big Hummer was parked there in front...An idea started to form...Taking walks with Katie soon helped us get in better shape--a plus! Our routine was to walk up to his house and back... While we did that, I was also learning how to hot-wire a Hummer...The plan really was ingenuous but of course, I'm not going to say anymore...not even about the little one that came to visit at my home after it was all over...A little bit of humor goes a long way toward  making us realize just how quickly some are prone to revenge, to violence...to do unto the other...It's certainly not what this cat lover would do...But I reallllllly enjoyed playing with the idea, thanks to Nevada Barr.She rocks!GABixlerReviews
