A lovely cat searching for excitement and a new home. A witch whose life is unraveling in plain sight. A match made in heaven?
‘Mop’, a pet cat with a taste for adventure, escapes into the wild in search of freedom, excitement, and — ideally — a reliable source of food. Cassie, meanwhile, is a witch with a dubious track record of solving other people’s problems who is rapidly losing her grip on her own life ... and possibly reality.
When Meat Axe, a streetwise feral tomcat, helps the Mop scout the neighborhood for a suitably accommodating human, Cassie quickly emerges as the perfect candidate. Big house? Check. Large garden? Check. Generous supply of cat food? Even better. But the real attraction is Alfred, Cassie’s evil and wayward husband, whose increasingly unacceptable behaviour presents the Mop with exactly the kind of problem she can sink her claws into.
Can the Mop succeed where Cassie has failed and deal with Alfred once and for all? And with some newly acquired spell-casting skills at her disposal, will she find a lasting solution — or create an entirely new catastrophe?
If you like cozy paranormal mysteries, cats with larger-than-life egos, questionable magic, and stories that take absurd and bizarre turns, this prequel to Cassandra’s Catastrophes is for you.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
