Cat Café, the 5th Crazy Cat Lady cozy mystery by Mollie Hunt

A body is discovered on the floor of the cat café, and all the black cats are missing!

Sixty-something cat shelter volunteer Lynley Cannon always finds more trouble than a cat in catnip, but this time it’s not about her. Someone is targeting very senior citizens, and when Bea Landrew, elderly owner of the Blue Cat café turns up dead, Lynley’s mom Carol could be next.

Handsome Detective Devon is looking for a link between the victims when he makes a different sort of connection— with Lynley! It’s been a long time since the cat lady had romance in her life, but while her mom is in danger, the case comes first.

It appears the cat café will go the way of its deceased owner, but Bea’s grandson, a slick Miami businessman, steps in at the last minute. Arthur is not a cat person so why would he bother? Romeo, the big Russian Blue, senses ulterior motives, but who will listen to a cat?

A black cat rescue, an antique photograph, an elaborate payback. Is this killer seeking justice or vengeance? With death as the objective, the results are the same.

A TALE OF TWO KITTIES

2 cats, 1 man and a great big life-changing adventure

Nick Harding’s life changed forever when he became a reluctant cat-owner. Told in his inimitably humorous style, this big-hearted story follows the confirmed dog-loving, cat-hating, feline-allergy suffering writer as he becomes a passionate pussy aficionado… courtesy of two of the world’s most mischievous moggies, Alvin and Barry.

A Tale of Two Kitties charts Nick’s unlikely trajectory from cat hater to reluctant cat owner and finally to cat lover, via an investigation of the weirdly fascinating domestic cat world. Along the way, his life is turned upside down, thanks to the havoc caused by his two new companions.

In the book, Nick embarks on a journey of discovery on which he investigates the kitty zeitgeist and takes the reader on a global odyssey through cat history and the modern-day cult of the kitty, while posing profound questions about our relationships with our pets.

From Silicon Valley hipsters using cats to take over the internet to the world’s first cat clone and the wacky world of cat fancying, Nick explains how felines have risen to replace dogs as man’s best friend. It’s full of fascinating insights into cat behaviour, cat history and cat evolution. Nick lives and breathes cats, all in an effort to understand the true essence of his own badly-behaved moggies.

It’s a memoir, an escapade, an anthology and a social, natural and cultural history that takes the reader on a romp through our cat planet.
