Murder Next Door
(2024)(The first book in the Jim and Ginger Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Arthur Pearce
Jim Butterfield moved to a seaside town for a quiet retirement. The retirement lasted two days.
On day one, he unpacked boxes and met the neighbors. On day two, one of those neighbors turned up dead. And Jim became the prime suspect.
His only alibi? A sarcastic cat named Ginger who can apparently talk. Only to Jim. Which is not exactly the kind of evidence that holds up in court.
Now he's a sixty-eight-year-old retired librarian trying to solve a murder with a cat who won't stop critiquing his investigative skills. The police think he did it. The town is full of secrets. And Ginger thinks Jim should stop reading mystery novels and start acting like he's in one.
Ginger's not wrong.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
