The Case of the Clawed Cameo
(2025)(The first book in the Parker Sisters & the Talking Bunny series)
A Story by Cathlyn Sweets
The Parker Sisters & the Talking Bunny: The Case of the Clawed Cameo
When a mysterious cameo necklace appears overnight in Lily Parker's antique shop—marked with strange claw scratches and reeking of secrets—the widowed shopkeeper thinks her biggest problem is figuring out who left it there. Then her grumpy pet rabbit, Sir Nibbles, starts talking to her, and a local artist vanishes without a trace, leaving behind an unfinished portrait of a woman wearing the exact same cameo.
Welcome to Seafern Cove, where retirement plans include solving century-old murders.
Sisters Lily and Rose Parker never expected their golden years to involve crime scenes, ghostly encounters, and a sarcastic rabbit with an uncanny ability to sniff out guilt. But when the cameo's dark history connects to Adelaide Martindale—a woman who died in a mysterious lighthouse fire over 100 years ago—the sisters find themselves caught between a desperate spirit seeking justice and a dangerous descendant determined to bury the truth.
With only Sir Nibbles' cryptic warnings and a collection of long-lost letters as their guide, Lily and Rose must navigate fog-shrouded secrets, family corruption, and supernatural intervention to solve a murder that time forgot.
In Seafern Cove, antiques aren't the only things with stories to tell, and sometimes the dead make the most reliable witnesses. Just ask Sir Nibbles—if you can hear him, that is.
Can two unlikely elderly sleuths and one talking rabbit solve a crime that's been waiting over a century for justice?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
