National bestselling author Carolyn Hart presents the story of a woman with a curious ability that drops her headfirst into a world of intrigue and murder…
Since her fiancé’s death, Nela Farley has been plagued by a sixth sense: She understands the thoughts of cats. In desperate need of a distraction, Nela agrees to substitute for her sister, Chloe, at her job for a charitable foundation. Chloe has even arranged a place for her sister to stay. But when Nela encounters the previous tenant’s cat, she gets a flash of thought: “. . . dead and gone . . . She loved me . . . skateboard on the step . . .”
Nela wants to ignore what the cat saw, but the idea that the death of former tenant Marian Grant wasn’t an accident is something she can’t ignore. And when a detective becomes suspicious of Nela’s sister and a second murder occurs, Nela realizes she’ll have to make the most of her unwanted ability before she meets her own untimely end…

From Booklist
The award-winning Hart offers an intricate twist on the locked-room mystery. Nela Farley can read cats’ minds, a talent developed after a personal tragedy. After losing her reporting job, she agrees to take her sister’s place in the offices of the Haklo Foundation. She stays at the apartment of another employee, Marian, who just died after a fall. Marian’s cat tells Nela that Marian fell because of a skateboard on the stairs. After someone breaks in during her first night at the apartment, Nela finds an expensive necklace. She then learns of several months of malicious vandalism at the foundation. After befriending a local reporter, she starts investigating. The locked-room aspect comes into play because only a handful of people have keys to the foundation. The cat-whispering angle turns out to be a relatively small factor in the story, yet paranormal-mystery fans will find it appealing, and Hart’s audience will respond to the typically well-crafted plot. --Amy Alessio

An exciting new series from Carolyn Hart
By F. Yoder
What The Cat Saw is the first in, what I hope, is a new series from the wonderful storyteller, Carolyn Hart.
Nela is only too happy to help her sister out on the spur of the moment, as Nela has lost her job as an investigative reporter and her boyfriend was recently killed in the war overseas. She needs a change in her life to sort out her problems. Her sister Chloe is one who often speaks in half sentences and tells half a story. Chloe has asked Nela to fill in for her at her job with the Haklo Foundation and says that she will be staying at her late bosses apartment above a refurbished carriage house and take care of Jugs, the cat, that lives there. Chloe's boss, Marian Grant, had fallen down the stairs at her apartment and died just a few days before Nela arrived. As Nela is settling in for her first night in Grant's apartment she looks Jug in the eye and gets the message: "Dead, board on second step". this isn't the first time she has gotten these messages form cats. As Nela starts to settle in for the evening she hears foot steps on stairs and barricades herself in the bedroom. Someone breaks in and seems to be looking for something. The police are called, but by the time they arrive the burglar is long gone. The police feel it is just a prowler that knew that the resident had recently died.
Upon arriving at Haklo Foundation the next morning she is begins to understand that something is definitely wrong at the foundation and that the death was more than likely murder. There have been several minor vandalisms in and around the foundation, disgruntled employees, and the head of the foundation had a very valuable necklace stolen. Who at the foundation would commit these act and murder, too.
With the help of Steve Flynn, a local newspaper reporter, Nela is able to avoid death herself.
A very exciting new series from the very talented Carolyn Hart. Definitely looking to see where Nela is headed next.

This needs a little work
By Jane Doe
Like so many of the other reviewers, I have been a fan of Carolyn Hart's for quite a few years and have read all the books in her other series. I have always found them entertaining, although a bit fluffy. Her newest series, beginning with What the Cat Saw is another light cozy but also somewhat disappointing.
In this book there are plenty of characters to choose from and they are described several times in some detail, giving the book a feeling of redundancy. The cat, Jugs, is not a very central figure and, if he was, it would have made the story a little more interesting. Instead, he's introduced, the main character, Nela, has a psychic connection with him and then he sort of fades into the background, surfacing only occasionally as window dressing.
It became difficult to finish the book, since it seemed like the characters were continually rehashing the same information over and over again and not making much progress. In the end, when they should have been able to see two sides to the same coin, they were still bewildered as to who had committed the crimes. All in all, What the Cat Saw, introduces a potentially great plot line but, for me, the whole thing felt a little flat.

Another elegant cozy from Carolyn Hart
By Pat Browning
Meet Jugs, a brown tabby with oversized ears. Mostly he does cat things -- eats, sleeps, disappears through the cat door when he wants to go outside for a bit of fresh air. He's a charmer but he doesn't hijack the story. He's just there, being a cat. The difference is that Nela Farley, the protagonist of WHAT THE CAT SAW, reads his mind, and an interesting little mind it is.
When Nela arrives in the small Oklahoma town of Craddock she's running away from her shambles of a life in California. She has lost her job and she has lost her fiancé to a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Her sister, Chloe, needs someone to fill in for her own job while she and her boyfriend take a week's free vacation in Tahiti. Nela is grateful for the diversion.
She gets more than she bargained for - a cat whose thoughts alert her to a murder made to look like an accident, a fabulous necklace that disappears, reappears and disappears again, and a red-headed reporter who reminds her of old-time movie star Van Johnson.
WHAT THE CAT SAW might be considered a variation on the traditional locked room mystery. Much of the action takes place in the offices and on the grounds of Haklo, a philanthropic foundation headed by the founder's great-granddaughter, Blythe Webster. It's a family enterprise, with succeeding generations piling up money in banking, cattle ranching and oilfield wildcatting.
Chloe's apartment, temporarily Nela's, is on the top floor of a two-story garage behind the Webster mansion. The apartment was formerly occupied by the late CEO of Haklo, who died from a fall down the stairs and left behind her beloved cat, Jugs. Nela picks up the cat's memory that his mistress stepped on a skateboard on one of the steps.
Nela has barely unpacked before an intruder breaks in. After scaring him, or her, away by calling the police, she finds that the intruder completely ignored a fabulous diamond necklace tucked into a purse sitting in plain sight.
Thus begins Nela's introduction to Haklo Foundation, an organization beset by arson, vandalism, destruction of artifacts, obscene material mailed on foundation letterhead - and a missing necklace. Unhampered by local loyalties, Nela suspects everyone on the Haklo staff and quietly begins to check them out. Her every move is tracked by a suspicious cop and an inquisitive reporter.
Carolyn Hart's elegant writing shines in this tightly plotted mystery. There are many characters but Hart is careful to develop each one in memorable fashion. Cat owners will have no problem with the role Jugs plays. As has been said, cats were goddesses in ancient times and they have never let us forget it.
