A gorgeous Norwegian Forest Cat, a cat café, a food critic, and … murder. The small town of Gold Leaf Valley is aflutter with a food critic’s arrival. His online column has made him famous in this part of Northern California, but not everyone is pleased he’s in town. When café owners Lauren Crenshaw and Annie, her silver-gray tabby, stumble across his body, what should they do? Investigate the crime themselves? Or … leave it to the police? Is Lauren under suspicion for delivering pastries to the dead man’s motel room? Or did his intern bump him off in order to gain a promotion? Lauren’s cousin Zoe is keen to help investigate the crime. But are there too many red herrings in this case to uncover the truth? Zoe is also busy turning knitting club into knitting/crochet club and teasing Lauren about her budding romance with attractive Detective Mitch Denman. Can the trio uncover the truth about the food critic’s death – before the killer strikes again?

Oh my goodness, look at that beautiful cat. Stunning. It would be too hot here for that lovely cat, sadly.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder what a a cat café is!
Wikipedia says, "A cat café is a theme café whose attraction is cats who can be watched and played with. Patrons pay a cover fee, generally hourly, and thus cat cafés can be seen as a form of supervised indoor pet rental."
ReplyDeleteDeb, there's just one cat in this book, and it's so smart it greets people at the door and leads them to a table. I'm about halfway through the book and wondering if it will be the cat who solves this cozy mystery.
