A cat cafe. Murder. Who is the killer?

Lauren Crenshaw and her Norwegian Forest Cat Annie run their own certified cat cafe in the picturesque small town of Gold Leaf Valley, Northern California. Lauren's fun cousin Zoe helps out as well.

Lauren, Annie, and Zoe are shocked when one of their favorite customers is poisoned. Steve came into the cafe nearly every day - but who wanted him dead?

The trio find themselves suspecting their customers - even elderly Mrs. Finch, whom Lauren thinks of as a substitute grandmother, doesn't escape their scrutiny.

The new (and attractive!) police detective warns them off the case. But Annie, the Norwegian Forest Cat, seems to have a nose for sniffing out trouble.

Can Lauren, Annie, and Zoe catch the killer before the killer catches them?

Great cat character. Annoying how main characters suspect their friend and ignore clues dropped by the bad character. Unconscious ageism. Repeating “old, senior, elderly”... Older people have less generic qualities. Better descriptions could be associations with historical knowledge, or specific health adjustments.

Good situation in cat café with cousins who are friends. Good cat behaviors and considerate care of the cat.

Light cozy, not much investigating, lots of chatter, knitting, suspicions, romantic interest that’s a cop 🙄 and a cat.

Predictable fluff

This little story was okay for what it was. Nothing complex here, and very easy listening. Somewhat charming, even. It did keep my attention all the way through, so I guess that says something…☺️

Simplistic Light Listening

G rated mini mystery. Suitable for a youngster. Enjoyed Annie the Cat. Predictable & lame ending for an adult.

I liked the basic story overall but the murderer was obvious early on. The writing was idk ...juvenile.. I guess. and if they said Norwegian Forest Cat one more time I was gonna scream! Lots of repetition very little character development

cute story but..

The characters all very likeable and the storyline flows smoothly. An excellent start to a comfortable cozy series.

Great beginning to a series

As an owner of a Norwegian Forest Cat I could not resist this book. And what a great surprise it was. Will be looking forward to another story.

A clean, predictable cozy mystery. Nothing too violent, no sec scenes, and no swearing. Main characters are sweet. I disliked the readers purrs as very unrealistic and she never changed the type or tone of the pathetic purr she gives Annie. A real shame as it could’ve been a cat lover’s delight if she more accurately conveyed Annie’s purrs. The writer clearly loves food and this carries really nicely into the story. A short easy listen, not overly fantastic but not too boring. Perfect for distracting myself while I potter about.

I loved the use of the cat and the supporting characters. I wish there was more background shared about the main characters though. I firmly believe that would have added to the listening experience! I hope to hear more from this series!

Cozy mystery for cat lovers!
