Spots and Scribbles
(2027)(The first book in the Mixed-Paws Mystery series)
A novel by Amanda Sterczyk
A missing baby giraffe. A vanished journal. And one very distracted talking cat.
When Rowan Thorne learns that a six-foot-tall baby giraffe has disappeared from the Stokely Rehabilitation Centre, she knows this won’t be an ordinary missing-animal case.Baby Spots is due to return to Africa with her mother in just three days. If Rowan and her father, Reg, can’t find her in time, the giraffes’ long-awaited homecoming could be derailed—and the struggling rehabilitation centre could face a financial disaster.
Fortunately, Rowan and Reg aren’t investigating alone. Talking pugs Pudding and Pickles are ready to sniff out clues, while Cinnamon the Himalayan cat brings his usual attitude to the case. Unfortunately, Cinnamon has been acting decidedly un-Cinnamon-like lately.
Then there’s Rowan’s missing journal. Packed with her notes, lists, and observations, it vanished just as the giraffe mystery began. Coincidence? Rowan isn’t so sure.
With the clock ticking, a trail of unusual clues leads the mixed-paws team through the Cotswold villages in search of one very tall—and surprisingly difficult to spot—fugitive.
Spots and Scribbles is the first book in The Mixed-Paws Mysteries, a lighthearted British cozy mystery series featuring quirky villagers, talking animals, family sleuthing, and mysteries where nobody has to die.
