It was really good I enjoyed the suspense and drama. Along with the baddies and the twists and turns
I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries or if you have read robin stevens book series murder most unlaydilike
I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to anyone
I thought that this was a really mysterious murder book.
My thoughts on what I have read are that I didn't expect Arundel to be the murderer.
My favourite character was Rose because she was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery of all the murders.
I would recommend this book to other who like murder mysteries.
I really liked the book. It's a fantasy mystery book. My favourite character is Rose Raventhorpe, a young girl who lives in the victorian area in York.
I would recommend this book for people who like reading mysteries and solving crimes.
A fantastic read for fans of a classic 'who-dun-it', Rose raventhorpe is a brilliant character, follow her through this action packed, murder mystery that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think you have figured out who the murderer is you will hit another twist in the tale. a definite page turner that will keep you hooked right to the end. Recommened read.
If murder happens in a posh household it’s a big deal. Especially when it actually happens in the Raventhorpe family home.
This book had me on the edge of my seat. It was really good but it was impossible to guess the murderer!
I really liked the mystery
For fans of Robin Stevens. Butlers are being murder in Yorke.After Roses butler was murdered she started to investigate. Be ready for some plot twists.So good.
A gripping murder mystery
I love this book is so heartwarming and sad at the same time. I’d recommend it to anybody who likes A feline frenzy and murders
This book was very funny and it was a murder mystery but Rose investigated and found out why and who did this because her own butler died. I recommend this book.
I recommend it to people who like mysteries.
I really liked this book. It was very surprising because all of the butlers were trained in combat.
I loved this book because it was excitingly scary and I liked characters too. I would recommend it to all young readers!
I really enjoyed this book - it was gripping from the start. I liked Argle, who was a really nice person with an air of mystery about him.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good murder mystery (although it is very descriptive of the deaths).
I really enjoyed this book as I loved the magic in this when the cat statues come to life! My favorite character is Charlie Malone as he was really funny! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and mystery books!
I really enjoyed this book because of how I was always guessing who the murder was
A good page turner.
It's fiction and full of adventure. I would recommend it to people who love murder and mystery.
For me, I think this book had some advanced words that I didn't understand. There was some stabbings going on and Miss Rose Raventhorpe was determined to solve who the Black Glove Muderer was. The person in the book I liked best was Heddsworth because he is a protecter and he is willing to do anything for his friends. Not only that he is a very loyal man. I think this particular book was intresting because it was a bit like a horror movie squashed into a book and it was very mysterious. I would definitely recommend this book but maybe to a teenager so that no one quite young would get scared.
This was my book review of Black Cats and Butlers and I hope you enjoyed it.
Amazing book with lots of friendly characters.Among them Rose is my favourite.I also like Heddsworth so much.
This book was great! Today I got the next two books because I loved this one so much. I recommend this to people who love a murder mystery and cats!

I would most Definitely recommend this book to someone else
This is a story about a girl, Rose Raventhrope whose beloved butler Argyle is found brutally murdered at the doorway of her own hall. This murder is one in the series of three in the week.She then goes on an adventure with her friend Emily Proops and Argyle's butler friends to find the murderer, the Black Glove. At the end, the Archbishop's butler, Arundel is found to be
guilty. He wanted to take the place of Argyle as Rose's butler. Finally , the story ended with the house getting a new bulter, Heedsworth who was Argyle's best friend.
I liked the book as at the end of the adventure , though it started with a brutal murder, it ended on a happy note. By reading this book, we can understand that even a kid of our age can turn out to be brave. I would like to recommend this book to my friends because of the adventure and story of bravery.
Absolutely thrilling!
Couldn't wait till the end.
Dashing for lovers of murder and mystery.
I rate this book 5 out of five, because of all the magic Harry finds. I recommend this book to people if you are a fan of any kind of magic books.
