How do you solve a murder when the only eyewitness can't talk?

Kat Harper has barely settled back into small-town life in Cherry Hills, Washington when she spies her neighbor's tortoiseshell cat Matty sitting on her doorstep. But Matty's not making a social call. The newly orphaned feline has just witnessed her owner's violent death.

But who would want to kill the elderly Mrs. Tinsdale? Was it one of her fellow animal rescue volunteers? A money-hungry daughter? A local veterinarian with something to hide? Or someone completely unexpected?

If Kat wants to put the murderer behind bars, the amateur sleuth is going to need Matty to lend a furry paw to her investigation. But how do you convince a cat eyewitness to reveal "whodunit"?

Therapy can kill.

It's Thanksgiving, and Kat Harper's glamorous mother Maybelle is back in Cherry Hills, Washington. But her return isn't the joyous holiday reunion Kat had hoped for, not when Maybelle ends up becoming the prime suspect in a brutal murder. To make matters worse, the victim is none other than Kat's psychotherapist, Dr. Deana Dietrich.

Kat can't deny her mother has secrets, but she also doesn't believe Maybelle is a killer. Luckily, there are other suspects to consider, like Dr. D's mysterious new boyfriend, an unstable patient or two, and the man who sent the victim a smitten love letter mere days before her death. Any one seems capable of committing a crime of passion, and Kat is determined to find out which one is guilty.

But Kat isn't the only one actively working to figure out "whodunit." Her mother has taken it upon herself to do some amateur sleuthing of her own, and Maybelle's tactics aren't exactly on the right side of the law. Now Kat fears if she can't identify the killer soon, her mother just might end up staying in Cherry Hills for much longer than anticipated—and she'll be eating her next turkey dinner wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Cherry Hills resident Kat Harper doesn't expect her first meeting with the Furry Friends Foster Families animal rescue to kick off with the mysterious absence of another member. But it soon becomes clear why Willow Wu is a no-show; she's been arrested for a crime that nobody can believe.

Kat's convinced someone framed Willow. But who would do such a thing? A crooked small-town cop with big dreams? A local teenager looking for revenge? Or the disgruntled caterer who lost out on a lucrative job?

With Zack's plea of innocence ringing in her ears, Kat naturally can't help but investigate.

First days can be killer.

Kat Harper's first day at her new job doesn't go as planned when a runaway cat leads her to a dead body outside of her office building. Things only get worse when Sadie Cramer's death is deemed a homicide, and Kat has to wonder what she's gotten herself into by accepting this position.

Much to Kat's—and her police detective boyfriend's—dismay, she soon encounters plenty of people with motive for murder. From an employee fired right before the Thanksgiving holiday, to a grown son ruthlessly cut out of an inheritance, it seems the late career counselor angered several people shortly before her passing. And now it's up to the office building's newly hired amateur sleuth to figure out exactly who is guilty . . . preferably without turning into a victim herself.

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.
