The Cat, The Quilt and The Corpse
by Leann Sweeney

The author of the Yellow Rose Mystery series, Leann Sweeney, is..."A welcome new voice in mystery fiction." (Jeff Abbott, bestselling author of Collision)...and her brand new series about adorable cats that just can’t stay out of trouble is bound to be a hit!

Recently widowed Jillian Hart is rebuilding a life for herself and her three beloved cats—Chablis, Syrah and Merlot—as a quilter in a small South Carolina town. The quilts she makes are for cats as smart, special, and sweet as her own, and business is thriving.

But when she returns from an overnight quilting show, she discovers Chablis sneezing—and since Chablis is allergic to humans, that can only mean one thing: Someone has broken into her house. When she realizes her Abyssinian Syrah is missing, Jillian suspects catnapping.

Spurred by Chablis and Merlot’s mournful meowing, she investigates—and discovers more missing cats and a murder. Now she’s got to save more than one cat in trouble—not to mention herself.
