Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
With her new van, Cassie has expanded her Comfy Cat business to include mobile cat grooming. Next stop: a cat expo at a hotel just outside her hometown of Chadwick, New Jersey, where Cassie will give a grooming demo using shelter cats to encourage adoption while her veterinarian boyfriend Mark will offer a program on cat care and health.

The highlight of the expo will be a major cat show featuring pop sensation Jaki Natal. Almost as famous as his owner is her pet Gordie, a Scottish fold, who's become a social media darling. But then adorable Gordie goes missing and a security guard is found murdered. While the cops are more interested in solving the murder of a human, Jaki insists Cassie help expose the catnapper and return gorgeous Gordie to the fold.


My Review:
Gone, Kitty, Gone is a cat-themed cozy mystery. It's the fourth book in a series. You don't need to read the previous books to understand this story, and this book didn't spoil the previous ones.

This was more of a suspense than a clue-based puzzle mystery. Cassie and her friends mainly stayed on the lookout for the missing cat and asked some questions that helped the owner remember who might steal her cat. The friendly detective did most of the actual investigating of leads, though Cassie did end up being critical to discovering whodunit and the cat. Cassie and her friends were nice people who cared about others.

There were no sex scenes. There was occasional use of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable cat-related mystery.
