Murder is on the menu. Kat Harper attends a dinner party to remember when one of the guests turns up dead mere days later. His death is deemed a homicide by poisoning, and it quickly becomes clear someone in attendance that night had murder on the mind. With Kat's police detective boyfriend sitting out this investigation, it's up to the amateur sleuth to figure out "whodunit." Lucky for Kat, her feline sidekicks are ready and waiting to help her solve the case. And if she has her way, this particular killer's next meal will be behind bars. All of the Cozy Cat Caper Mystery books can be enjoyed as standalones but will be better appreciated as part of the series. The books are light, fun cozy mysteries featuring an animal-loving female amateur sleuth, lovable and not-so-lovable quirky characters, and a page-turning mystery that needs solving. None of the books include cliffhangers, bad language, or graphic scenes. Fans of Lilian Jackson Braun (The Cat Who Series), Shirley Rousseau Murphy (Joe Grey Mystery Series), Liz Mugavero (Pawsitively Organic Mystery Series), Cate Conte (Cat Cafe Mysteries), Sofie Kelly (Magical Cats Mysteries), Sofie Ryan (Second Chance Cat Mysteries), Miranda James (Cat in the Stacks Mysteries), Kay Finch (Bad Luck Cat Mystery Series), Molly Fitz (Pet Whisperer P.I. Books), and Ali Brandon (Black Cat Bookshop Mystery Series) are likely to enjoy this series as well. keywords: cat cozy mysteries, cozy murder mystery series, amateur female sleuths, whodunit mysteries set in small-town USA, mystery ebooks for animal lovers, animal rescue ebooks, contemporary cozy mystery ebooks, cozy crime mystery books, humorous crime whodunit, murder mystery books starring women sleuths, long-running series that can be read as stand-alones, kitty mysteries, humorous escapist fiction, homicide police investigation, ebooks featuring amateur detectives, criminal investigations with feline sidekicks, cat cozy mystery series set in a small town, animal stories, humor and hijinks, small town fiction starring gumshoe women sleuths, murder mystery whodunits, women gumshoe detectives who solve crimes, pet cozy mysteries, quick uplifting mystery reads, mysteries with cats, small town novice women sleuths with rescue cats, kitty cozies, fun kitty cozies, cozy mystery that needs solving, charming cat mystery and thriller books, murder mystery ebooks, clean mystery series, cozy cat caper mysteries, felines in fiction, small-town detective books with happy endings, series that can be read as stand-alones, amateur women sleuth detective, cozy murder mystery that needs solving, cat caper crime mystery series, animal cozy mystery fiction featuring cats, cop characters in small towns, small town amateur investigators and police detectives, whimsical amateur investigator short reads, novice detective series with standalone storylines, amateur detective series, contemporary murder mystery ebook, cat cosy mysteries set in the United States, American cosy murder mystery series, USA kitty cosies, mystery whodunits, criminal mystery ebooks, cozy murder mysteries featuring cats, cozy criminal mysteries, cat and animal cozies, animal mysteries with small town settings, fictional felony police investigations, gumshoe sleuth ebook, humorous ebooks for adult women, kit lit, mysterious criminal suspects, suspicious death killing, lighthearted animal cozies, mystery books for adult women, likable women detectives, small-town friendships, clean beach reads, ebook downloads, female sleuth gumshoe lead, funny cat books, kitty cozy criminal mysteries, quirky characters with secrets, small-town relationships, criminal foul play, whimsical women sleuths, short fun clean ebooks, mysteries to solve, law enforcement mysteries, women novice detective, headstrong cat characters, humorous crime capers, foster care heroine, feel-good law enforcement fiction, Central Washington State settings, fun wholesome whodunnit, second chance romance, friendship drama, police and law enforcement romance, romantic mystery, commitment phobia, summertime cozy mysteries, malicious poisoning, criminal felony
