When I find Matthew Boatman’s door swinging open, I slink into his dark and cat-infested house to make sure he isn’t sick. Surely a law-abiding book editor, pet-minder and unintentional sleuth would always do that? To my horror he’s so sick, he’s dead. The shiny silver arrow in his back is beautifully tidy compared to half a lifetime’s high-piled hoarding. OMG – the mess! Honestly, who could live like this? Someone needs to call the cops – and that’s me. Again. Detective Bruce Carver is far from impressed. And he doesn’t like my plan to feed all the cats so I can keep an eye on the house being emptied out. But stripy brown Peanut, choc-faced Siam, old Fifty who’s every shade of grey, Skinnyblack, Fatblack and One-eye have given me the perfect excuse. I’m watching my back – no arrows please – and keeping my eyes open and my ears flapping as I dish out the kibble, but old Matthew was a diamond hunter in days gone by. Does he have a million-dollar stash of gems hidden here? And would that put me in danger? This fun cozy mystery is full of your favorite people from the other books in the series. Plus a puzzling murder, a touch of romance, and laugh-out-loud lines. Be happy – Merry is here!
