Here, killer, killer, killer . . .
For the first time in sixteen years, Lara Caphart has returned to her hometown of Whisker Jog, New Hampshire. She wants to reconnect with her estranged Aunt Fran, who’s having some difficulty looking after herself—and her eleven cats. Taking care of a clowder of kitties is easy, but keeping Fran from being harassed by local bully Theo Barnes is hard. The wealthy builder has his sights set on Fran’s property, and is determined to make her an offer she doesn’t dare refuse.
Then Lara spots a blue-eyed ragdoll cat that she swears is the reincarnation of her beloved Blue, her childhood pet. Pursuing the feline to the edge of Fran’s yard, she stumbles upon the body of Theo Barnes, clearly a victim of foul play. To get her and Fran off the suspect list, Lara finds herself following the cat’s clues in search of a killer. Is Blue’s ghost really trying to help her solve a murder, or has Lara inhaled too much catnip?
Lara has headed home to Whisker Jog to look after her Aunt Fran, they have had no contact in 16 years and initially it is very tense (until they realise that each tried to contact the other but for some reason her parents didn't send the letters from Lara and they help back any letter received from Fran!), Lara helps sort out the house (which is rather full of rescue cats!) and a couple of days in to the visit they go to the local diner (run by a childhood friend of Lara's along with her mother), whilst there the local bully comes in – pretty much demanding that Fran sells some land to him. A few days later Lara follows a cat and stumbles over Theo Barnes's body! As Lara found the body and Fran had recently had a stand up argument with him, they are both in the cross-hairs of the local law enforcement. Lara needs to find the real killer so that she and Fran can keep safe and keep looking after cats!
