A sleepy seaside town, a dead investment banker, and a fatal accident—that was no accident. Still reeling from the near-loss of two fingers from a cat bite, JD feels like he’s been banished to the edge of the earth when he’s sent to his newly widowed cousin to recuperate. All he wants is to heal quickly and return to his life of saving feral felines. …until he discovers her husband’s unexpected demise was actually homicide . In fact, the murderer may be living under their roof right now! As his mischievous tabby starts uncovering clues missed by the local police, the suspect list grows. Is it the genteel butler, the bungling accountant, the cocksure prospector, or the hidden stalker who’s leaving him hate letters? As a daring cat rescuer, JD is used to putting his life on the line to save an animal, but he’s wholly unprepared for the danger and intentional malice of his fellow human beings. His mounting unease only strengthens his resolve not to leave Birman Bay until the culprit is caught and his cousin is safe. Somewhere in this close-knit community is a killer, and the local police are three steps behind the evidence. The worst is, the story he and his cousin are piecing together makes no sense—and threatens to cost JD more than just his fingers. Can he fill in the gaps left by the backwoods detective squad and figure out who the assassin is before he and his cousin get murdered themselves? Catch as Cats Can is the first book in the Birman Bay Cozy Mystery Series. If you like comfy whodunnits with a covey of cats showing off their natural magic—nothing paranormal—in a small town setting on the water, you’ll love this tale about a cat rescuer who becomes an amateur sleuth. This story is inspired by the real-life feline favorite, John DeBacker. However, while there are similarities between JD and John, those are coincidental, and this remains a Real People Fiction. A percentage of the royalties from this series goes to support feral rescue operations and veterinary bills. When you purchase, you’re lending a paw! NOTE: No animals are ever harmed in this series.
