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?

Thank you Ms Reilly and Ms Beaulieu for the most heart warming,
beautiful, entertaining story about cat's. I have (read) listened to
All the authors and narrators for years. None of the new books out now catch my interest. Either the story is boring or the narrator
ruins the story because their voice is wrong. I'm in love with with the people and the town. Whisker Notch, how clever! Again, many thanks for giving an old lady a book series to look forward to! Your a great team!

I particularly liked the  guardian angel cat. The interaction between the characters was very believable.
 It brought pthe believable that people are not, but they seem to be one 

Great story and great characters I enjoyed the story from beginning to end.
