A lighthearted and clever cozy mystery where a brilliant cat and his human partner dive deep into a seaside murder filled with secrets, small-town drama, and plenty of purr-sonality.
 
Ashley St. Helens thought a quiet trip to the coast would give her a break from crime-solving — but when a local fisherman turns up dead, peace and quiet go out with the tide. As the investigation unfolds, her inquisitive cat Indy sniffs out more than fishy business. Together, Ashley and Indy must follow the clues through tangled family feuds, seaside secrets, and suspicious alibis before the killer gets away.
 
In Cat Among the Fishes, Louise Clark delivers another delightful entry in her Cat Came Back Mysteries, combining small-town charm, family tension, and feline intuition in a story full of warmth and intrigue. When Ashley and Indy head to a quiet coastal village, they expect a relaxing getaway — not a murder that reels them right back into the world of sleuthing.
 
As Ashley learns more about the locals, she discovers that beneath the town’s picturesque surface lies a web of jealousy and long-held grudges. With Indy’s sharp instincts and her own keen intellect, Ashley pieces together a puzzle that’s as layered as the tides themselves. Funny, heartfelt, and satisfying, Cat Among the Fishes is a perfect reminder that curiosity (and cats) can solve almost anything.
