"Emma" is the first of nine books in the Harry and Cat series to be found on Kindle. Think of this as a nine course meal that should be enjoyed in the proper order for full enjoyment, beginning with the before dinner wine. (Harry loves wine.) Start with "Emma" for the beginning of Harry Neal and Cat's relationship and progress through "Angie," "Annie's Dream," "Harry's Lament," "Short Round," "Sister's," "Sophie's Gambit," and "Harry's Game" to finish with "Dead Dead Dead, The Little Girl Said." The first eight are really novellas and the last is a full length mystery novel. The author says the first three, in particular, should be read in order. I've arranged the others as I would and did read them.If you like cat mysteries but have had enough of librarians, book store owners, antique shop owners, professors and middle aged ladies snuggling up to the town constable, cats who are bigger than the average cat, tougher than the average cat, speak English, are clairvoyant, walk through walls or are generally smarter than their human companions, you are ready for and will love Bentley Dadmun's Harry and Cat. Harry is a believable guy who is facing geezerhood and has told the world to shove it. Cat is just cat. I'll say no more to spoil the reading experience.Trust me, take it from the top, get to know Harry and Cat book by book and you may find yourself, as I did, finishing up this literary feast at 4:18 AM in the morning saying, "Damn, that was fun!"Dan WintersHampton, Virginia
