Twiglet and Her
A cat scratching at a sealed cellar wall. A twenty-year-old disappearance. And a dead man in the lily pond.
When a glamorous young couple offer to adopt Twiglet, the Crooked Cat Caf 's shyest rescue cat, Eden Metcalfe thinks she's found the perfect home.
Twiglet disagrees.
During a visit to Prior's House, a magnificent medieval property on Cadminster's ancient city walls, the timid tortoiseshell flees into the cellar and begins scratching at a bricked-up archway. A cold draught seeps through the stones, carrying a strange, unidentifiable smell.
And the house has a history.
Twenty years ago, a woman vanished from Prior's House without a trace. Her husband was suspected but never charged. Now he's returned to Cadminster, offering an extraordinary sum to buy back his former home.
Days later, he's found dead in the garden's old lily pond.
The townspeople call it long-overdue justice. Eden isn't so sure.
After fifteen years as a hospital chaplain, Eden understands grief-and she recognises when someone's reaction doesn't ring true.
As old accusations resurface and the residents of Prior's House come under scrutiny, Eden finds herself questioning everything the town believes about the missing woman.
Meanwhile, Twiglet remains determined to reach whatever lies beyond that cellar wall.
With a suspicious death, a decades-old disappearance, and a house whose occupants have plenty to hide, Eden must uncover the truth before an innocent person pays the price.
Twiglet and Her is a charming British cat cozy mystery featuring a compassionate former hospital chaplain turned amateur sleuth, an endearing tortoiseshell cat, eccentric cathedral-town characters, and a cleverly plotted whodunit with a historical secret at its heart.
Perfect for readers who love cat caf mysteries, traditional British murder mysteries, old-house secrets, intelligent female amateur sleuths, and heartwarming stories of friendship and second chances.
A clean, standalone cozy mystery with no graphic violence or profanity, a satisfying, fairly clued solution, and plenty of medieval atmosphere, English charm, gentle humour, and feline mischief.
At the Crooked Cat Caf , every cat deserves a loving home. But Twiglet has found a house with a past nobody wants uncovered.
