A Twist in the Tail: An Absolutely Purrfect Cozy Mystery
Summary
From the award-winning author of the USA TODAY best-selling Mystic Notch series... "Talk about inconvenient. Not only did I have a dilapidated mansion and no money to repair it with, two cats I had no idea how to care for, and a room full of cranky guests waiting for their breakfast, I also had a dead body on my hands." Josie Waters has to admit she may have acted a bit hastily when she agreed to purchase the Oyster Cove Guesthouse - a charmingly gabled Victorian mansion on the breathtaking Maine coast - from elderly family friend Millie Sullivan. But Josie was desperate to flee Ohio and in particular her ex-husband, a chef who loved his job so much he left her for it. And anyway, how hard can running a guesthouse be? The truth is, Oyster Cove Guesthouse is a moldering money pit with falling-in roof and a cohort of regular guests who are as mischievous as a litter of kittens. And Millie keeps dropping by to dispense unasked-for advice. And Josie might have made a mistake in promising to adopt Oyster Cove’s two resident cats Nero and Marlowe, and treat them in the manner to which they’ve become accustomed. Josie has never had a cat before...let alone two feisty felines who think they own the place. Okay, it’s not going well. At least it can’t get any worse, Josie thinks. Until her first guest ends up dead. A joy to listen to, with a twist you’ll never guess! A new mystery series from a best-selling author, purrfect for murder mystery fans, cat lovers, and everyone in between. Listeners can’t get enough of Leighann Dobbs!
