Learn moreWhen a local teacher is found dead, Los Angeles’s newest pet groomer Mimi Lee finds herself in a predicament—with her younger sister’s livelihood on the line.
Mimi Lee is on top of the world. She has a thriving pet grooming business, the sweetest boyfriend, and a talking cat to boot. When she arrives at the elementary school where her sister Alice works, she is expecting a fun girls’ night out—but instead finds a teacher slumped over in her car, dead.
Alice was the last one to see Helen Reed, which instantly marks her as the prime suspect. Unable to sit quietly and let the authorities walk all over her sister, Mimi starts snooping and talks to Helen’s closest contacts, including one jumpy principal, a two-faced fiancé, and three sketchy teachers. With the help of her sassy but savvy cat, Marshmallow, and a cute kitten named Nimbus, Mimi must race against time to get to the bottom of yet another case before her sister gets jailed.

Reviews
“Mimi’s appealing narrative voice keeps the action moving…This is catnip for fans of talking cat cozies”
“Details of running a pet-grooming business, a nicely described setting, and warm family relationships distinguish this cozy.”
“Narrator Natalie Naudus does a great job bringing key characters to life, both human and feline. She creates a wonderfully funny and believable character in Marshmallow, whose cat-centric asides are peppered throughout the audiobook. Naudus’s characterizations of both Mimi and her sister are strong, highlighting their two very different personalities. She also creates the glimpse of a warm heart in the austere Detective Brown.”
“An intriguing mystery with an appealing protagonist, a wisecracking cat, and lively family dynamics…I’m so glad I found this fresh new voice in the cozy mystery world."
