Here, killer, killer, killer . . .
For the first time in sixteen years,
Lara Caphart has returned to her hometown of Whisker Jog, New
Hampshire. She wants to reconnect with her estranged Aunt Fran, who’s
having some difficulty looking after herself—and her eleven cats.
Taking care of a clowder of kitties is easy, but keeping Fran from
being harassed by local bully Theo Barnes is hard. The wealthy
builder has his sights set on Fran’s property, and is determined to
make her an offer she doesn’t dare refuse.
Then Lara spots a blue-eyed ragdoll
cat that she swears is the reincarnation of her beloved Blue, her
childhood pet. Pursuing the feline to the edge of Fran’s yard, she
stumbles upon the body of Theo Barnes, clearly a victim of foul play.
To get her and Fran off the suspect list, Lara finds herself
following the cat’s clues in search of a killer. Is Blue’s ghost
really trying to help her solve a murder, or has Lara inhaled too
much catnip?

sprinkling of romances. She is also the author of Some Enchanted
Murder, and the Deep Fried Mystery series, featuring fry cook Talia
