Birthday Murder
(2025)(The eighth book in the Jim and Ginger Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Arthur Pearce
A retired librarian turned private investigator. A snarky orange cat. A murder at a cat's birthday party in a charming seaside town full of secrets.
When Jim Butterfield throws a birthday celebration for his feline partner Ginger, he expects cake, presents, and friends enjoying themselves. What he doesn't expect is finding a dead guest in his bedroom after the party's over. With their home declared a crime scene and Sheriff Miller convinced of Jim's guilt yet again, the crime-solving duo must uncover the truth while dodging small-town gossip that spreads faster than wildfire.
Temporarily housed with a crystal-obsessed friend, Jim and Ginger soon learn that the victim had been digging into the town's hidden secrets, and someone at the party clearly decided those secrets were worth killing to protect. As they investigate further, they discover that several party guests have been living years-long lies. But which party attendee is hiding blood on their hands?
Can our detective duo solve the case before the killer adds them to the birthday body count?
