About this ebook
The New York Times bestselling Cat in the Stacks series continues as librarian Charlie Harris and his cat Diesel must clear a friend when the evidence is stacked against her…
Mississippi librarian Charlie Harris and his Maine Coon cat Diesel are on their guard. Oscar Reilly, the new director at the Athena College library, is on a mission to cut costs and has set his sights on the archive and rare book collection. Reilly’s also out to replace Charlie’s fiery friend Melba with someone younger, but his biggest offense is declaring all four-legged creatures banned from the stacks.
With enemies aplenty, the suspect list is long when Reilly’s body is discovered in the library, but incriminating evidence throws suspicion on Melba. Charlie is convinced that his friend is no murderer, especially when he catches sight of a menacing stranger lurking around the library. Now he and Diesel will have to read between the lines, before Melba is shelved under “G” for guilty...

No Cats Allowed by Miranda James is the seventh book in A Cat in the Stacks Mystery series. There is a new interim director at the Athena College Library. Unfortunately, Oscar Reilly is going out of his way to alienate everyone on the staff including Charlie Harris and his Maine Coon cat, Diesel. When Charlie is asked to leave Diesel at home, Charlie decides to take a leave of absence. But then Oscar Reilly turns up dead in the basement (crushed with shelving). When Charlie's friend and co-worker, Mabel Gilley is accused of the crime, Charlie starts investigating. Then Charlie is asked to step in as the new interim director. Charlie may not last long on the job when someone tries to put him out of commission. Can Charlie figure out who the killer is and stay out of harm’s way? I enjoyed reading No Cats Allowed. No cats Allowed may be the seventh book in the series, but it can easily be read as a stand-alone novel. I have not read any of the other books in the series, but I will definitely be reading them now. I liked the characters in the book (there are a lot of them) and Diesel, the cat. The mystery was interesting, but it was child's play to solve (I kept hoping for a good twist at the end, but there was not one). I give No Cats Allowed 4 out of 5 stars (I liked it). I look forward to the next book in A Cat in the Stacks Mystery! I received a complimentary copy of No Cats Allowed from NetGalley in exchange for an honest evaluation of the book!
