A Pew for the Purring
A beloved choirmaster. A suspicious death. And seven cats who know something isn't right.
Christmas is approaching in the historic cathedral city of Cadminster, where the Crooked Cat Caf serves warm scones, comforting tea, and a generous helping of feline mischief.
For owner Eden Metcalfe, it's a welcome change after fifteen years as a hospital chaplain. She's discovered that people will confess almost anything with a purring cat on their lap.
But some secrets are better left untold.
When beloved choirmaster Laurence Paxton is found dead at the foot of the cathedral bell tower stairs after an Advent carol service, everyone assumes he slipped on a frosty night.
Eden isn't so sure.
The caf 's enormous old tomcat, the Dean, refuses to leave Laurence's favourite chair. Timid little Twiglet is hiding beneath the counter. And Eden, who knows grief better than most, suspects someone is putting on a performance.
Someone is hiding something. And the choirmaster's death may be no accident.
As Eden investigates, she uncovers bitter choir rivalries, a furious monk, a troubled marriage, and a priceless medieval choirbook with a secret of its own.
But her greatest obstacle is the trust people place in her. Revealing what she's been told could destroy friendships and betray confidences.
Keeping silent could leave an innocent man accused of murder.
With seven curious cats, a caf full of gossip, and a cathedral community determined to protect its secrets, Eden must decide how far she's willing to go for the truth.
Because someone in Cadminster has a guilty conscience. And Eden suspects it isn't one of the cats.
A Pew for the Purring is the charming first book in The Cat Caf Detectives, a heartwarming British cozy mystery series featuring a compassionate former hospital chaplain, seven irresistible rescue cats, eccentric cathedral characters, and a cleverly plotted whodunit.
Perfect for readers who love cat cozy mysteries, traditional British murder mysteries, charming English towns, intelligent female amateur sleuths, and heartwarming stories of friendship and second chances.

At the Crooked Cat Caf , every cat deserves a home. And every mystery deserves an answer.
