Crafts and Life

Winter in Mayville Heights is busy and not just because of the holidays. Kathleen is hard at work organizing a benefit to raise money for the library’s popular Reading Buddies program. She has her hands full hosting the event. And when a guest at the gala drops dead, her magical cats, Owen and Hercules, will have their paws full helping her solve a murder.

The victim is the ex of town rascal Burtis Chapman, but she hasn’t lived in the area in years. And though everybody is denying knowledge of why she was back in town, as Kathleen and her detective boyfriend, Marcus, begin nosing around, they discover more people are connected to the deceased than claimed to be. Now Marcus, Kathleen, and her uncanny cats have to unravel this midwinter tale before the case gets cold.

It is always great to revisit Mayville Heights and the cats that live there!

It is Winter but that is not what has Kathleen rushing about, she and her staff are planning a fund raiser for a reading programme within the library, people are donating time and others are giving items such as food for cost, oh and Kathleen's neighbour and good friend is getting married and that is another headache (albeit a nice one!) as that also needs planning! The day before the fund raiser Kathleen, the bride to be Rebecca and their friend Roma are enjoying lunch when Rebecca is startled by a woman entering the cafe, apparently no-one had seen Dayna Chapman in about 20 years, they are even more startled when she turns up at the fund raiser.  Unfortunately her time there was short lived, literally as she keels over having eaten one of the gift truffles everyone was given.

Now Kathleen, along with her two magical cats Owen and Hercules, need to assist her boyfriend (and local detective) Marcus to find out the truth behind the death and why she arrived back in Mayville originally.  Oh and make sure that the wedding goes smoothly as well!
