Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Sarah Grayson owns a delightful secondhand shop in the small town of North Harbor, Maine, where she and her rescue cat, Elvis, are always finding themselves up to their whiskers in trouble. With the help of a quirky group of senior citizens—who call themselves Charlotte’s Angels and work out of the store—they solve crimes both new and vintage.

Local squabbles about property development have the town in quite a state of drama—and it seems like someone may even be upset enough to kill. When a local man involved in the real estate quagmire falls over dead at a reception to celebrate the harbor front’s redevelopment, Sarah gets roped in to investigate by her own IT expert, Mr. P., who has long known the victim’s stepfather.


My Review:
Claw Enforcement is a cozy mystery. It is the seventh book in the series, but you don't need to read the previous books to understand this one. This book did not spoil any of the previous mysteries.

The main characters were nice, engaging people. The cat only played a minor role. The amateur detectives asked questions and looked into various alibis. The mystery was a clue-based puzzle mystery. There were enough clues that you could guess whodunit before the main characters, but not a long time before they did. There were no sex scenes. There were only a few uses of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable mystery.
