When a priceless painting vanishes from the Paws & Pastries Cat Café's Christmas craft fundraiser, art teacher Noelle Brightman and her paint-splattered feline Pierre Purrcasso must solve the mystery before the holidays—and a budding romance—are ruined.
Welcome to New Haven, where snow-dusted Alpine buildings twinkle with Christmas lights and the Paws & Pastries Cat Café serves up holiday cheer alongside adoption opportunities for rescue cats.
Art teacher Noelle Brightman has returned to her picture-perfect hometown just in time to lead the café's brand-new "Paint for Paws" ornament-painting workshop—a festive fundraiser combining Christmas crafts with cat adoptions. But when a priceless holiday painting on loan from the town's historical society mysteriously disappears, the entire event is threatened with cancellation.
With the help of her mischievous feline assistant Pierre Purrcasso—a multicolored cat with an artist's soul and a detective's instincts—Noelle must navigate a colorful cast of small-town suspects. From rival crafters to eccentric historians, everyone seems to have a secret. As she works alongside dependable gallery owner Asher Collins to save Christmas, Noelle discovers that mixing paint, paws, and a pinch of romance might just create the perfect holiday masterpiece.
Can they recover the stolen artwork in time for the fundraiser? In this heartwarming Christmas cozy mystery, no one gets hurt—but hearts might just get stolen along with the painting.
