Crafts and Life

Professional cat grooming isn’t all fluff—when the fur starts flying, Cassie McGlone, owner of Cassie’s Comfy Cats, handles her feistiest four-legged clients with a caring touch and nerves of steel. While these qualities certainly help keep her business purring, they also come in handy when she makes a house call to her best client, millionaire George DeLeuw, and discovers his murdered body next to his newly orphaned Persian, Harpo.
 
To help the local police find the actual killer, Cassie begins her own investigation. But no one, from George’s housekeeper to his vindictive ex-wife, is giving up clues. Not until Cassie is given permission to temporarily board Harpo does anyone show interest in the Persian’s wellbeing. Someone is desperate to get their paws on Harpo before the feline helps untangle a felony. Are there deadly truths that a cat whisperer like Cassie can coax out? She needs to tread lightly and remember she gets one life, not nine. . . .  

Cassie left an abusive relationship and headed to where her best friend (Dawn) has a health good store, Cassie then opens a cat boarding and grooming parlour, she is starting to build up her client list, one special client though she travels to his rather palatial mansion as he has a fully equiped grooming room set up.  On this day she has interviewed (and taken on) an assistant (Sarah) and she leaves her in charge whilst she heads off to groom Harpo the Persian cat, when she arrives a DeLeuw's house she is startled to find Harpo outside, she is even more startled to find George DeLeuw dead.

Now she needs to look after Harpo, tell her mother what happened (oh and come clean about why she left) and try and keep her handyman and his son out of jail!
