Purrfect Racket

About Purrfect Racket

You’d think a quiet morning spent in the garden—complete with sunshine, naps, and Dooley investigating ladybugs—would be entirely harmless. You’d be wrong. It starts with Brutus having a meltdown.

Apparently, Harriet is cheating on him with a smooth-talking, muscle-flexing newcomer named Khakiel. Dooley, being Dooley, immediately volunteers to solve the situation diplomatically. Which is a terrible idea for many reasons, not least because Dooley’s idea of diplomacy involves wandering off alone to confront a cat built like a tank.

Then Dooley disappears. And just when I’m starting to worry (which I don’t do lightly), Harriet vanishes too. Now we’ve got a missing best friend, a missing diva, a suspicious new cat who seems a little too charming for his own good, and a town that’s suddenly acting very strange.

Add in a shady organization humans are whispering about, a few too many coincidences, and a growing feeling that something seriously wrong is going on… and even my nap starts to feel unsafe. As the clues pile up, one thing becomes clear: this isn’t about romance, rivalry, or cat choir drama. Something bigger is happening in Hampton Cove.

And if I don’t figure it out fast, my friends might not be coming back. A cozy mystery packed with humor, heart, suspicious newcomers, and one very worrying case of cats gone missing. Join me as I untangle Hampton Cove’s latest mystery… before this racket turns deadly.
