A witty, heartwarming cozy mystery where a clever cat and his human partner find that solving crimes can take more than nine lives — it takes intuition, courage, and teamwork.

 

When Ashley St. Helens and her feline companion Indy stumble upon another small-town mystery, they quickly realize this one has claws. A charity fundraiser takes a deadly turn when one of the guests winds up dead — and all eyes are on Ashley’s family. Determined to clear their names, Ashley and Indy team up once more to sniff out the truth. With Indy's uncanny instincts and Ashley’s academic smarts, the unlikely duo proves that curiosity can be the best detective skill of all.

 

 

In The Cat’s Paw, Louise Clark returns with the second installment of her delightful Cat Came Back Mysteries. After solving her first case, Ashley is looking forward to a quieter life in Vancouver with her brilliant cat, Indy. But when murder strikes close to home, she can’t resist following the trail of clues — no matter how dangerous it gets.

 

Balancing family drama, community secrets, and a few unexpected twists, Ashley and Indy navigate the complex world of human motives and feline intuition. Full of humor, heart, and fast-paced fun, The Cat’s Paw delivers everything cozy readers love: memorable characters, a clever mystery, and an irresistible four-legged detective who always lands on his feet.
