A rescued cat. A tarnished key. A cold case the whole town would rather leave buried.
Catrina Lingle traded corporate burnout for the gentle chaos of running The Purrfect Blend, a cat cafe in her Ohio hometown of Spicetown — a life of pumpkin-spiced October mornings, adoptable cats, and a gossip grapevine faster than any internet connection.
When a scruffy black tomcat is left at her door wearing an old leather collar with a clover-shaped brass key, she realizes the cat has an agenda. He stares down one street and he pulls toward one gate. At the dead end of Clover Lane stands a decaying Victorian house where sixteen-year-old Gigi Astor was last seen twenty years ago, the night Spicetown’s innocence ended.
Against the warnings of Spicetown PD Officer Darren Hudson, her old high school classmate, Catrina follows the cat. Someone in Spicetown knows what happened that October night.
A warm, witty, fair-play cozy mystery with a clever cat who points but never talks, a sweet closed-door romance, a found family worth moving home for and a twenty-year-old truth that may heal a town. No gore, no cliffhangers, all heart.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
