Whiskered sleuths Joe Grey and Dulcie return in the “seventh cute feline mystery of theft, intrigue and murder” from the author of Cat Spitting Mad (Publishers Weekly).
Famous novelist Elliot Traynor is temporarily living in Molena Point. He and his wife don’t have much to do with the villagers, which is fine with them since no one particularly likes Vivi. But their arrival has coincided with some peculiar happenings in the town, culminating with a botched burglary in the home of 60-something Susan Brittain. Susan is a friend to feline detectives Joe Grey and Dulcie and they aren’t going to let this crime go unpunished. With whiskers twitching they investigate the crime and soon find themselves on the scent of a killer.
