The fourth in a mystery series from author Cate Conte, A Whisker of a Doubt is filled with felines and crime that's purrrrfect for cat fanciers and mystery solvers alike
Cat cafe owner Maddie James is trying to talk herself out of having a blue Christmas--relationship woes aren't worth it, are they?--by throwing herself into work. The renovations on Grandpa Leo's house-turned-cat-cafe are nearly complete, and she has a lot of organizing to do. Plus, she's part of a volunteer contingency caring for a feral cat colony in one of the richest neighborhoods on the island. But not everyone has a soft spot for community cats, and lately things have been getting contentious between the neighbors and the volunteers.
Things take a turn for the worse when one of the residents, Virgil Proust, is found face-first in a snowbank after being bludgeoned with a Christmas gnome and Maddie's rescue pal Katrina is blamed for the murder. Maddie doesn't believe it, but to help her friend, she has to figure out who done it--before someone gets away with the purr-fect crime.
