The Alarm of the Black Cat

Janet Metzger’s narration is a highlight of The Alarm of the Black Cat, infusing each scene with just the right amount of suspense and charm. Her performance captures the essence of Rachel Murdock’s personality—spunky yet thoughtful, always ready to investigate. The story unfolds at an engaging pace, with specific moments like Rachel’s encounter with Claudia and the dead toad creating a sense of urgency that keeps you hooked until the end. However, some minor plot points felt slightly predictable, which could be expected in a cozy mystery genre. Nonetheless, Hitchens’ clever twists and Metzger’s compelling delivery make this audiobook a must-listen for fans of the genre.
