I don't ask for much, and I sure didn't ask for talking cats.

But when I agree to pet-sit my best friend's felines, that's exactly what I get for my trouble. Well, that, and a baffling murder mystery to solve.

My next-door neighbor is dead under suspicious circumstances, the talking cat is ordering me around, and my cat is missing. Somehow...it's all interconnected, and it's up to me to untangle the messy details and solve the murder in a town bursting with motives and suspects.

I'm going to need more than luck and a bossy cat to help me solve this puzzle, but there's one big problem: how do I investigate a crime, let alone solve one?
