Cupcake baker Lauren Crenshaw, her cousin Zoe, and Annie, a gorgeous Norwegian Forest Cat, run a cat café in Gold Leaf Valley, a small town in Northern California.
Annie competes in a cat show, to help raise funds to improve the local park. Her friend AJ, a Maine Coon, enters too.
A grumpy Persian called Mrs. Snuggle Face Furry Frost is also a competitor. Her owner, Kathleen, seems to like winning at all costs.
But when Kathleen dies at the show, the trio wonder if it’s natural causes … or … murder.
Who is the killer? The male judge accused of bribery? The glamorous female judge who owns Himalayans? Or is it another competitor? And what will happen to Mrs. Snuggle Face Furry Frost?
Meanwhile, Zoe comes up with a great idea to make pottery mugs featuring different Annie poses, and Lauren can’t decide which cupcake suggestion to make next.
Lauren’s romance with Mitch, and Zoe’s romance with Chris, are both going well, although Lauren is nervous about meeting Mitch’s parents.
But when they’re commanded by an anonymous person to produce the valuable Mrs. Snuggle Face Furry Frost or else, can they keep the Persian safe, and unmask the killer?
Or will they be permanently frosted?
This is a humorous, clean, cat cozy mystery with female amateur sleuths, cupcake talk – and Annie, the Norwegian Forest Cat!
