The Cat Café Conspiracy

The Cat Café Conspiracy — Book 8 of The Thistlewood Tea & Treats Mysteries. Whiskers and Whimsy is the friendliest place in Thistlewood. It is also, this winter, the most dangerous.

A perch alcove, a ledger that does not balance, and Barry Neff's long watch over something he should have reported years ago. Martin Calloway and Philip Horrocks each have a version of events, the machinery and the rectory are more connected than they look, and the cats' parliament — as the regulars call it — sees everything and says nothing. By December the café has one more secret than it can hold.

What to expect

• A cat-café cozy with a properly layered financial puzzle
• Warm, funny, and populated by cats with opinions
• Standalone; the longest and twistiest Thistlewood case yet

About the series

Thistlewood is an English village with a tea shop at its heart, a cat with a habit of turning up at the wrong moment, and rather more secrets than its size suggests. These are cosy mysteries in the traditional sense: an amateur sleuth, a closed circle of suspects, clues laid fairly on the page, and no graphic violence or gore.

Every book stands completely on its own — start anywhere — though readers who follow the series will keep meeting Pearl Whitmore, Clara Webb, Biscuit the cat and the rest of the village. 133 pages.
