Small-town politics can be murder.

A local election for district court judge turns deadly when one of the candidates winds up shot in his own home. Now it's up to amateur sleuth Kat Harper to find out "whodunit."

When it comes to drug offenses, Judge Buck Metzger is a known advocate for rehabilitation over incarceration. His stance is a major reason why he's pulled ahead in the small-town race—until a bullet stops him dead. Now Kat has to question whether his outlook—or someone he sentenced to court-ordered treatment—might be responsible for his downfall. Then again, he could just as easily have been murdered by a resentful opponent caught up in a devastating scandal. And Kat certainly can't discount Judge Metzger's rebellious daughter as a suspect, not when she's set to inherit everything her father owned.

Whatever it takes, Kat is determined to uncover the truth. And with some help from her furry feline friends, she might just thwart a killer's plan to skirt the wheels of justice.

There's a killer loose in Cherry Hills, and it's up to Kat Harper to bring the guilty party to justice.

Between workplace rivalries and rocky romances, Kat soon discovers that Savannah's life was fraught with conflict. But just because someone has motive doesn't mean they're guilty. And if the amateur sleuth wants to solve this particular case, she's going to need to dig a little deeper . . . or else Savannah's killer might just get away with murder.

Thanksgiving is a time for crime in Cherry Hills, Washington.

Kat Harper expects her biggest Thanksgiving challenge to be coming up with an edible vegan pumpkin pie, but that all changes when a woman is mugged outside her apartment building. Unfortunately, Sylvia Garcia isn't the only victim of this cruel act. Sylvia had only just finished food shopping on behalf of a local homeless shelter before she was attacked, and the thief made off with all her spoils. Now it's questionable whether the less fortunate residents of Cherry Hills will have much to be thankful for this holiday season.

Lucky for them, Kat's on the case. With a heaping scoop of amateur sleuthing, a pinch of determination, and a dollop of assistance from her two justice-seeking felines, Kat won't stop investigating until she's identified the guilty party. And, just maybe, she can help to put a family back together in the process.

Animal rescue with a side of murder.

What starts off as a foster dog wellness check turns into a nightmare when a gunshot leads Kat Harper to a man's dead body. Eric Halstead's killer is gone by the time Kat arrives on the scene, but the amateur sleuth isn't about to let them get away that easily.

By all accounts, this homicide appears to be a neighborhood dispute turned deadly. And now it's up to Kat to determine exactly which neighbor pulled the trigger. Was it the do-it-yourself handyman who didn't appreciate Eric's frequent noise complaints? Or could it have been the local newspaper thief who swears he knows something relevant to the murder but refuses to talk to the police? And Kat certainly can't discount the loudmouthed older gentleman who seems to have a not-always-popular opinion about everything.

Kat might not know "whodunit" yet, but she knows one thing for sure. There's a lot more than justice riding on this case. With Eric's death comes the need to rehome his beloved tuxedo cat. And if Kat's not careful, this animal rescue mission may end with the newly orphaned feline falling into the hands of a cold-blooded killer.
