Chula Catches a Clue
(2026)(Book 2.5 in the Zara Rose Cozy Paranormal Mysteries series)
A Story by Alexes Razevich
Note: Chula Catches a Clue is a novella-length interlude in the Zara Rose Paranormal Mystery series—a cozy caper told entirely by Chula herself, who is five pounds and a bit, an excellent judge of character (mostly), and absolutely certain she is the best dog in Sailor's Rest.
Summer has turned quiet Sailor's Rest into a circus of tourists—and the perfect hunting ground for a charming con man with quick hands and a puppy so cute he stops traffic.
Zara Rose is an empath witch who stitches magic into the couture pet clothes she sews, but even she can't feel one bad heart in a crowd of hundreds. She doesn’t notice the moment her grandmother's silver brooch disappears clean off her. Only her Chihuahua does.
Now Chula has until tomorrow’s evening tide to track the thief across town, board his boat, and steal the brooch back—armed with nothing but a keen nose, a stubborn streak, and a fistful of unlikely allies: a gossiping seagull, a smug bookshop cat, and a raven that demands trade for every drop of information.
The clock is running. The tide is rising. And a tiny dog is all that stands between a grieving witch and losing the last piece of her grandmother forever.
Genre: Fantasy
