Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

B C Harris is a Scot who, at the time of writing, had just finished renovating a farmhouse in France. A labour of love that began from first sight back in 2016. No sooner had the final length of flooring been laid and the last paintbrush dried, than disaster struck in the form of pandemic. France went into a strict lockdown and, with time to do more than simply daydream about writing books, a new project began to take shape.

Writing began as an escape from the fear and isolation that was soon affecting us all, and quickly flourished to become ‘Conspiracy of Cats'. The global pandemic seems to be receding now, but the passion for writing has taken root. Find out more about B C Harris online.

Captivating, beautifully written.
Absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down! I am not going to say too much on the story itself as it is one for those reading to discover on their own. But it keeps you wondering right until the end. Everytime it answers a question there are more. I loved how the author built the characters, and used the landscape to really pull you in. There is something primal and spiritual about the supernatural aspects of the story. If you are an animal lover I will add a trigger warning about some animal cruelty that occurs, but it ties into the story in an important way. The author also includes moments of humor which kept the story from being too heavy. Storywise this is absolutely a 5 star, but I couldn't quite give it that in the end. If you want my full thoughts and the reason why it didn't get 5 stars, you can find them on my YouTube channel (Tibbara's Den) within the next two weeks. Otherwise I would say 100% worth the read and you should definitely get a copy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fast-moving, highly-imaginative paranormal mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021

    Set in Edinburgh, Scotland and Tanzania in east Africa, Conspiracy of Cats tells the story of a young woman called Jos Ferguson who is summoned to Africa by the former housekeeper of her late uncle, Peter. Once at home in Peter’s beautiful home, the White House, Jos discovers she’s been invited there for a shocking reason; to avenge the murder of Peter, who isn’t as dead as he should be.

    A remarkably original story written in a vivid and lively style, Conspiracy of Cats is a paranormal mystery that moves so quickly and fluidly that it’s easy to suspend your disbelief and get carried away by the fantasy of it. BC Harris writes with energy and humour, and I enjoyed her descriptions of Africa and the continent’s people. It’s a beautifully written story of surprises, great imagination and well-presented characters. There are some scenes of cruelty to animals, which some, like me, might skim, but they serve a purpose and, for me, did not detract from the story. I look forward to reading BC Harris’s next book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected and unusual read. Very strong debut.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2022

    I loved this book. I even found myself dreaming about it. A couple of scenes I found a little disturbing, particularly as one of our many cats was sitting on my lap at the time. I'm not going to give any spoilers though.
    I liked the characters, I fell in love with the house, and the plot/premise was unusual (the ending was particularly satisfying). I don't know how much time the author has spent in Tanzania, but it seems she has a great love for the country. She is also aware of development issues and explains them well.
    Altogether an unexpectedly good read, and I highly recommend it.

    If you're looking for a story with twists and turns then this is the book for you. A beautifully woven story that builds all the way to the end and doesn't fail to pull at your heart strings. If you are an animal lover like I am then be prepared for some animal cruelty in this book but the cats gets their own revenge in the end.
    This is a five star read without doubt but had to give it four as the beginning wad a little confusing with the swaps and changes between the characters that I became confused every now and then. Apart from that I really enjoyed this book and hope it get all the creditation it deserves. Highly recommend

    5.0 out of 5 stars ARC Review - A Compelling Paranormal Mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2021
    Format: Paperback
    I was fortunate enough to get an Advanced Review Copy for the debut novel by author B.C. Harris. Conspiracy of Cats is a paranormal mystery, and to be honest, the less I say about the story/plot, the better for you; some rides are just better, without question, when going in as unspoiled as possible. And unfortunately, this somewhat ties my hands as there is plenty to talk about, but most would reveal details that should be experienced for yourself.

    So let me see if I can break this all down in a way that does not spoil anything.

    There is a great cast of characters, all of which get their back stories and personalities fleshed out, and it’s really easy to root for them (the ones you should root for of course lol). Roughly the first third of the novel goes back and forth through time, covering a variety of events, either by taking you there directly, or experiencing the moment in a dream or flashback.

    This can be very tricky to pull off well, and many attempts fail, but Harris does a wonderful job here! These transitions were smooth, and I always knew exactly where I was and how I got there. Never did I feel lost or confused, outside of the expected trickle of information that is doled out purposely in a specific path to get you from point A to B to C in order to provide an entertaining ride.

    There is plenty of tragedy in the backstories, but one in particular was heartbreaking. The main character, Jos, lost her parents in an exceptionally awful way.

    Details are rich in their presentation, to the point where I could thoroughly visualize locations and environments. Harris describes parts of Africa, for example, in such a way that make me really want to experience it for myself, were it not for the incredible heat that will ensure I can probably never actually make that trip; I cannot handle the heat.

    The story itself explores aspects of the paranormal, from ghosts to magic, and there is a mystery to uncover, but I’d rather not give anything away. Through plot points, characters, descriptions, and events, I laughed, I cried, I held my breath, I cheered, and I spat venom (hopefully you will too when that part comes).

    One fascinating aspect to connecting with other authors through their work on a global scale is the regional differences to language. There were a few times I was forced to web search words or phrases that lack the needed meaning in my own region. Jos’ tragic backstory, for example: if you are in the USA, and the word ‘skip’ simply means either a hop or passing over something, you may want to search out ‘define skip great britain’ ahead of time. Or, spoiler warning, it’s basically a dumpster.

    That section made so much more sense once I knew that.

    Overall, this was a truly fantastic read, and I am beyond grateful to have experienced this story! B.C. Harris provides a solid debut, and I cannot wait to see what comes next for this author!

    I purchased this book after a recommendation from a friend and I wasn’t disappointed. After a while of not reading this book reignited the enjoyment of reading for me.
    The author successfully takes you on a journey, with the main character Jos, from Edinburgh to Tanzania. Some twists and turns along the way and descriptive text, brings the story to life in your mind and ensured that this book was an engaging read with a storyline that flowed seamlessly. Finished in a week and I highly recommend it for holidays, dark winter evenings and weekend reading. Hoping there’s going to be a sequel at some point!

    What A Cracker! I read a little review on social media… and thought I’ll give it a go. The story is set in Tanzania. The wonderful descriptions allow you to believe that the writer must have spent her life there. It’s a terrific tale of love and revenge. The supernatural plot is clever intriguing and shocking. The author’s skills keep you glued to the pages ignoring all the other things that you should be getting done. And that’s what you want from a good book! No hesitation 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
