Felines, Fruitcakes & Forgeries
(2026)(A book in the Whiskers & Whisks Whodunit series)
A novel by Rachel Beattie
When her cantankerous Aunt Ivy breaks an ankle just in time for Christmas, Angela Loomis draws the short straw to spend the holiday season playing nursemaid. She just doesn’t expect to play detective, too…
Waiting on her recovery, Ivy has plans to sell her house and finally move out of the small town of Mistletoe, leaving behind a decades-old family legacy, and signing over her cottage to the local historical society. As the descendant of a nationally renowned artist, Ivy is delighted to discover - and profit off - a long lost painting by her famous forebear. She’s even willing to share her windfall with the local church, until it turns out her heirloom might not be what she claims.
With the town’s Christmas fete on the horizon, a family feud, an auction and the baking of Aunt Ivy’s all-important fruitcake in the mix, Angela is going to have her hands full keeping everyone out of trouble. Working with her aunt, several nosy neighbors and a very opinionated cat - who might just hold the clue to unraveling the mystery - can she discover the deception, protect her aunt’s legacy and save her from being blamed for a crime she didn’t commit - all in time for Christmas?
Felines, Fruitcakes and Forgeries is a fun Christmas Cozy Mystery - perfect to read while enjoying a festive treat (or two).
