When librarian Kathleen Paulson

moved to Mayville Heights,

Minnesota, she had no idea that

two strays would nuzzle their

way into her life. Owen is a

tabby with a catnip addiction and Hercules is a stocky tuxedo

cat who shares Kathleen's

fondness for Barry Manilow. But

beyond all the fur and purrs,

there's something more to

these felines. When murder interrupts

Mayville's Music Festival,

Kathleen finds herself the prime

suspect. More stunning is her

realization that Owen and

Hercules are magical-and she's relying on their skills to solve a

purr-fect murder.

A group of Mayville Heights’

business people hope to

convince the Chicago-based

company, Legacy Tours, to sell a

vacation package in their town.

Legacy Tours partner, Mike Glazer, grew up in Mayville

Heights, but it seems he’s not

the same small-town boy

people remember. Everyone

seems to have an issue with the

opinionated loudmouth Mike has become—until someone

shuts him up for good.

When Kathleen and her cat,

Hercules, discover Mike’s body

near the boardwalk, she can’t

help but get involved in the investigation—even if it might

torpedo her relationship with

Detective Marcus Gordon. Now,

with a little help from Hercules

and Owen, it’s up to Kathleen to

make sure the killer is booked for an extended stay in prison

before some else takes a

permanent vacation.

Small-town librarian Kathleen

Paulson gets plenty of

entertainment from her

extraordinary cats, Owen and

Hercules. But when a theatre

troupe stumbles into more tragedy than it bargained for,

it’s up to Kathleen to play

detective....

With her sort-of boyfriend

Marcus calling it quits and her

ex-boyfriend Andrew showing up out of the blue, Kathleen has

more than enough drama to

deal with—and that’s before a

local theatre festival relocates to

Mayville Heights. Now the town

is buzzing with theatre folk, and many of them have their own

private dramas with the

director, Hugh Davis.

When Davis is found shot to

death by the marina, he leaves

behind evidence of blackmail and fraud, as well as an

ensemble of suspects. Now

Kathleen, with a little help from

her feline friends Owen and

Hercules, will have to catch the

real killer before another victim takes a final curtain call.

Kathleen Paulson is snowed under running her library and caring for her extraordinary felines, Owen and Hercules. But when a fund-raiser turns deadly, she’ll have to add sleuthing to her already full schedule....Winter in Mayville Heights is busy and not just because of the holidays. Kathleen is hard at work organizing a benefit to raise money for the library’s popular Reading Buddies program. She has her hands full hosting the event. And when a guest at the gala drops dead, her magical cats, Owen and Hercules, will have their paws full helping her solve a murder.The victim is the ex of town rascal Burtis Chapman, but she hasn’t lived in the area in years. And though everybody is denying knowledge of why she was back in town, as Kathleen and her detective boyfriend, Marcus, begin nosing around, they discover more people are connected to the deceased than claimed to be. Now Marcus, Kathleen, and her uncanny cats have to unravel this midwinter tale before the case gets cold.

Normally, the arrival of an art

exhibition at the Mayville

Heights library would be cause

for celebration. But thanks to

the overbearing curator and

high-tech security system that comes with it, Kathleen’s life

has been completely disrupted.

Even Owen and Hercules have

been affected, since their

favorite human doesn’t seem to

have a spare moment to make their favorite fish crackers or

listen to Barry Manilow.

But when Kathleen stops by the

library late one night and finds

the curator sprawled on the

floor—and the exhibition’s most valuable sketch missing—

it’s suddenly time to canvass a

crime scene. Now Kathleen, her

detective boyfriend Marcus, and

her clever cats have to sniff out

a murderous thief, before anyone else has a brush with

death…

Kathleen is excited to meet three old pals of her beau, Detective Marcus Gordon, while they visit charming Mayville Heights on business. But the reunion is cut short when one of the friends is killed—and the evidence points towards Marcus as the murderer. Though it seems she doesn’t know all of Marcus’s secrets, Kathleen is sure he’s no killer. With his suspect status sidelining him from investigating the case, it’s up to Kathleen and her feline partners-in-crime to find whoever is framing Marcus—

and make sure the good detective hasn’t found his last clue.

With a well-placed paw on a

keyboard or a pointed stare,

Kathleen’s two cats, Hercules

and Owen, have helped her to

solve cases in the past—so she

has learned to trust their instincts. But she will need to

rely on them more than ever

when a twenty-year-old scandal

leads to murder… The arrival of the Janes brothers

has the little town of Mayville

Heights buzzing. Everyone of a

certain age remembers when

Victor had an affair with Leo’s

wife, who then died in a car accident. Now it seems the brothers are

trying to reconcile, until

Kathleen finds Leo dead. The

police set their sights on Leo’s

son and Kathleen’s good friend

Simon, who doesn’t have much of an alibi. To prove her friend

innocent, Kathleen will have to

dig deep into the town's history

—and into her sardine cracker

supply, because Owen and

Hercules don't work for free...
