The Case of the Talking Tabby
(2025)(The first book in the Claw and Order Cat Cafe Mystery series)
A novel by Donna Michaels and Jestina Michaels
The cat says he’s a detective. The case is twenty-seven years cold, and this mother-daughter duo is about to trade lattes for late-night stakeouts.
Former cop Delaney ‘Dee’ Shaw and her daughter, former forensic scientist Emerson ‘Em’ Shaw, just opened The Claw & Order Cat Café, next to the police station. They were expecting foam art and cat adoptions—until a grumpy red tabby walked in and started talking.
Marlowe insists he’s the reincarnation of a homicide detective who once partnered with Dee’s father—and he’s here to solve the case that got away: a young woman strangled in her own home, a husband with an alibi, and no justice served.
With Dee’s police instincts, Em’s forensic smarts, and Marlowe’s old-school grit, they’ll dig into a murder the town has nearly forgotten. But the past never stays buried…especially when a detective with nine lives is on the hunt.
