A Street-Wise Cat, a Small-Town Murder, and One Nosy Amateur Sleuth

On her way to start a new life, Brittney Brewster wanted coffee and a clear highway.
Instead, her car dies in Hickory Hollow.

Then a body turns up in the park.
Almost everyone has a reason to want Trevor dead.
The otherwise gossipy community is tight-lipped about the murder.

The sheriff’s not asking enough questions.
But Brittney is.
Too many questions, according to the anonymous threats.

At her side is a one-eyed stray cat with perfect timing and terrible boundaries.
Together, they gather clues while collecting side-eyes from the locals.
Meanwhile, they need to keep their investigation under the radar of Sheriff Riggs.

The Hickory Hollow Social Club Ladies are so sweet and grandmotherly.
But Doreen, Mimi, and Lila each have a reason to murder Trevor. 

Then there is creepy Hank Drummond.
He is always watching. Always just out of the frame. Always there.

Hank and Trevor nearly came to blows over a property dispute.
But that surely wouldn’t lead to murder!

Can Brittney untangle Hickory Hollow’s grudges before the next note comes with claws?
Or will her fresh start end up six feet under, purr-manently?

Purr-fect for readers who love sharp-witted sleuths, quirky towns, and cats who steal every scene. This prequel is your ticket into a fun, brand-new cozy mystery series
