The Cat Who Knew Too Much
A gripping cozy mystery for fans of cat cafés, small-town secrets, and amateur sleuths who can't resist one more clue.
Detective Miles Corbin solved his last case eleven months ago and hasn't slept properly since.
Now retired and quietly falling apart, Miles pours lattes at his niece's whimsical cat café in the honey-stone heart of the Cotswolds, hiding behind an apron and a one-eyed rescue Persian named Captain Whiskers who seems to have adopted him as his newest case file. It's meant to be therapy. A soft landing. A slower life.
Then Captain Whiskers drags a blood-stained bowtie out of the café's toy box — and Miles's quiet retirement dissolves into steam, suspicion, and small-town secrets nobody wanted uncovered.
The bowtie belongs to Reginald Ashworth-Pyle, the village's charming, indebted antiques dealer, missing for three days. By nightfall, his body turns up in the café's disused wishing well.
With a teapot in one hand and old instincts reawakening in the other, Miles must sift clues from fennel tea leaves, cat hair, and village gossip to catch a killer hiding in plain sight — refilling scones and smiling over the counter. Because in Lower Hedgeworth, everyone has secrets. And some of them bite.
