Crafts and Life

Normally, the arrival of an art exhibition at the Mayville Heights library would be cause for celebration. But thanks to the overbearing curator and high-tech security system that comes with it, Kathleen’s life has been completely disrupted. Even Owen and Hercules have been affected, since their favorite human doesn’t seem to have a spare moment to make their favorite fish crackers or listen to Barry Manilow.

But when Kathleen stops by the library late one night and finds the curator sprawled on the floor—and the exhibition’s most valuable sketch missing—it’s suddenly time to canvass a crime scene. Now Kathleen, her detective boyfriend Marcus, and her clever cats have to sniff out a murderous thief, before anyone else has a brush with death…

Life should be good for Kathleen, she and Marcus are getting on great, Owen and Hercules are two fantastic cats and she has some wonderful friends in Mayville Heights, there is just one teensy problem, the library is going to be hosting an art exhibition, with some museum pieces and some from the local art community, this means that some fairly major adjustments need to be made to meeting (they obviously can't be held around the exhibits) and security, and so an independent security expert and an art expert are making sure everything is up to their exacting standards.  Kathleen is therefore stunned when she goes past the library one night to see a light on in her office (which should be out of bounds to all but herself) and when she goes to check she finds the security system disabled, a dead art expert in her office and one of the museum pieces missing!

Now Kathleen needs to harness the magical abilities of her cats to find out who did what do whom and why, namely track down a murderer, and a thief, even before that figure out if they are one and the same and whilst they cannot bring the dead back to life it would be nice if they could at least find the missing art work!
