A Spot Too Sweet for a Murder Scene

Betty never expects trouble on a peaceful Atlanta Sunday. Her only plans involve picking up her fabulous cat Pearla from a luxurious spa day. And surviving her family’s Easter brunch.

But a murder at the wonderful East Lake Feline Emporium sends Betty, Pearla, and Betty’s best friend Travis into a whirlwind.

When no one knows the motive or the criminal behind it, tension and fear touch everyone.

Will Betty and her friends uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again?

An excerpt from Murder at the Fabulous Feline Emporium:

A glorious cat and a rotten human mess


Travis scooted closer to Betty, and she touched his shoulder.

‘You okay? Sounds like this came out of the blue.’

He sighed and glanced at Cortney, who was still on the phone. When he looked back, his eyes were redder than ever.

‘I’m maintaining for now. This stinks, but I don’t know enough to know how to react. Except to wish he was here and could explain the whole mess. And that he’d moved here sooner so the two of you could have gotten to know each other. You would have loved him, and he…’

His voice caught, but before Betty could react, Pearla chirped and raised her head, blinking at whatever had interrupted her royal slumber. Then she stood and stretched her legs one at a time, digging her claws into Betty’s bare legs.

‘Thank goodness for freshly trimmed nails, ‘ she said, rubbing her hand along Pearla’s back, glad for the distraction for Travis and for herself. The cat arched into the caress before delicately making her way over to Travis’s lap.

Because besides being gorgeous and glamorous, she apparently knew exactly what people needed, when they needed it.
