A holiday Grinch is out to steal Christmas from the animals. The Furry Friends Foster Families December Donation Drive is in full swing when Kat Harper and her friend Imogene Little receive a devastating blow. A Christmas quilt set to bring in a lot of money for the rescue animals of Cherry Hills, Washington, has been stolen. It isn't long before several seasonal suspects emerge, each with more motive than the last. And as much as Kat doesn't want to believe one of 4F's foster parents might be responsible for betraying the nonprofit organization, it's a possibility she can't ignore. The only trouble is, nobody knows exactly how the quilt ended up in the burglar's hands. With no sign of forced entry, is this a true locked-room mystery or a much more straightforward "whodunit"? Kat's not sure, but when 4F is targeted a second time, the amateur sleuth realizes she needs to wrap up this investigation quickly if she doesn't want the guilty party to strike again.

It isn't long before the police peg the practice's beloved veterinarian as the suspected killer. But is Dr. Mark truly guilty? There's no chance, according to one vocal staff member. Then again, he was found holding the purported murder weapon. Or could he simply have been in the wrong place at the wrong time? It will take some amateur sleuthing to find out what really happened.

Can Kat Harper solve this case without getting burned? Kat Harper's morning walk is cut short when a nearby house goes up in flames. The traumatic incident leaves the Jefferson family homeless and devastated. Worse yet, the fire appears to be the result of an arson attack, spurring everyone to question who would do such a thing. The more Kat learns, the more it seems the Jeffersons made a dangerous enemy. Could it be the estranged relative who finally decided to exact revenge over an unfair inheritance? A determined thief looking to cover up their criminal tracks? Or was it someone else entirely? While Kat attempts to identify the guilty party, her tortoiseshell cat Matty has her paws full comforting the two youngest Jeffersons. But as Kat digs deeper, she might be the one who needs Matty's solace. It doesn't take long before another possible culprit emerges.

TNR is a proven strategy for controlling the feral cat population-almost as effective as murder for eliminating unwanted neighbors. Kat Harper's friend and fellow animal rescue advocate Imogene Little has spent her entire life defending animal rights. So it's no surprise when their latest mission to neuter an undomesticated tom results in some harsh words exchanged between Imogene and a bitter homeowner named Lenora who doesn't believe feral cats are worth saving. The altercation would normally be a minor blip in their day, but things take a turn for the worse when Lenora winds up dead mere hours after the argument-and she didn't perish from natural causes. Much to Imogene's chagrin, the police identify her as a person of interest in their homicide case. But Imogene isn't the only one with motive. Between a euphoric elderly gentleman planning a celebration to commemorate his wretched neighbor's untimely demise, a young couple often targeted by Lenora over noise violations, and the victim's sister who is set to inherit everything, Kat doesn't have any trouble locating additional suspects. The question is, which one is the true murderer? With so many potential killers to consider, Kat is going to need all of her amateur detective skills to figure out "whodunit" this time. She just hopes she can clear her friend's name before Imogene's relationship with the Cherry Hills Police Department-and its unmarried chief-is destroyed forever.

This missing persons case hits incredibly close to home. Kat Harper fears the worst when her friend and neighbor Janice Moseley goes missing. Worse yet, Janice's beloved Irish setter Bubbles is found wandering the apartment corridor alone. All evidence points to foul play, and Kat takes it upon herself to investigate once again. It doesn't take long before the amateur detective discovers a few secrets Janice might have preferred to keep hidden. But did those secrets lead to Janice's disappearance? Or could her mysterious new boyfriend be responsible? Kat also can't discount the desperate singleton on the second floor and his obsession with the building's attractive dog owner. The stakes only intensify when a disturbing piece of evidence surfaces, driving home the fact that Janice didn't leave willingly. Kat still has more questions than answers, but she knows she needs to act fast. It's a race against the clock as the Cherry Hills sleuth works to identify the guilty party and bring her friend home before Janice falls victim to a fate much worse than kidnapping.

Southern charm meets small-town crime. Amateur detective Kat Harper doesn't expect to be thrust into another murder investigation while car shopping with her friend and fellow animal rescue advocate Imogene Little. But when a fatal crash occurs right next to the family-owned Rockport Rides dealership and a severed brake line is determined to be responsible, she can't help but do a little sleuthing. Lucky for Kat, she has no trouble locating a handful of suspects within the dealership's own showroom. Between feisty Southern belles, lovelorn customer service representatives, and sloppy mechanics on the verge of losing their jobs, plenty of people might have wanted to see the late owner dead. But is one of them guilty? A friendly black stray cat named Moxie may know the answer to that question. Except Moxie is too busy hunting down treats to help with this particular homicide case. That means it's up to Kat and Kat alone to figure out "whodunit" before a killer gets away with murder.

Tragic accident . . . or murder? Kat Harper's visit to Jessie's Diner ends abruptly when the man at the next table drops dead. She soon discovers the victim is none other than Aaron Moskowitz, a caustic food critic known for thrashing restaurants he doesn't like. And now, thanks to a severe nut allergy, Aaron has penned his last roast. Nobody suspects foul play until a wannabe crime reporter and some disturbing evidence convinces them otherwise. And when a tenacious orange stray cat sneaks into Jessie's and locates Aaron's missing EpiPen in the kitchen, the eponymous restaurant owner quickly becomes the center of the police investigation. Kat doesn't truly believe her friend is guilty, but what will it take to prove Jessie's innocence? Identifying the real killer would be a good start. But that won't be as easy as it seems, not when everyone who dealt with Aaron has nothing but bad things to say about him. Regardless, that won't stop Kat from her quest to uncover the truth. The amateur sleuth had better tread carefully though. When the killer gets wind of her investigation, it isn't long before Kat finds herself on the fast track to joining Aaron at the morgue.

Sometimes murder is the only way to clean up the neighborhood. Kat Harper's leisurely Sunday afternoon at her police detective boyfriend Andrew's house comes to an abrupt halt when a stray cat leads them to a dead body next door.

Meet Kat Harper, small-town girl turned amateur sleuth. Can she solve the mystery of her animal-loving neighbor's murder without getting killed herself? Kat hasn't been back in her childhood hometown of Cherry Hills, Washington, very long before a murder next door thrusts her into a police investigation. She doesn't intend to get involved, but what choice does she have when Mrs. Tinsdale's now orphaned tortoiseshell cat shows up on her doorstep looking for help? After all, Matty was the sole witness to her owner's violent death and might just hold the key to solving this case. But who would want to see the elderly Mrs. Tinsdale dead? Was it a fellow animal rescue volunteer, driven by a hidden agenda? Or perhaps Mrs. Tinsdale's money-hungry daughter could no longer wait for her much-needed inheritance. Kat also can't discount a local veterinarian possibly harboring dark secrets. Then again, the culprit might be someone entirely unexpected. It doesn't hurt that this investigation puts Kat in close proximity with Andrew Milhone, Kat's old childhood friend turned handsome lead detective. But how can she persuade a feline eyewitness to reveal "whodunit"? Kat's not sure yet, but she's not going to give up until Mrs. Tinsdale's murderer is brought to justice-even if getting to the chilling truth means putting her own life in danger.
