One feisty fifty-something sleuth with a passion for detective novels. Three mischievous cats. Eight funny, fast-paced cozy mysteries set in Cincinnati. It all adds up to over 2,000 pages of pure crime-solving pleasure!
Cat Caliban is Cincinnati’s newest, oldest — and funniest — detective-in-training. Recently widowed, the proud mom of three cats (not to mention three grown kids) packs up her life and sets off to make a new start. And what better job for a mystery novel fan than a detective?
Soon set-up with a sleuthing headquarters in an apartment complex packed with quirky tenants, Cat’s missing just one thing: a crime to investigate!
It’s not long before she finds one . . . right there in her new building. Soon, armed only with her library card and her sharp tongue, the sassy senior with a heart of gold is investigating murders a-plenty, scrutinizing suspects and solving cases with a will.
Eat your heart out Miss Marple! Cat’s on the case — just don’t call her old. She’s young for a detective, with way more training than Nancy Drew.
Fans of Ellie Alexander, Richard Osman, Rita Mae Brown, Lucy Connelly, Annie Adams, Susan McBride and Tonya Kappes will be hooked by this warm-hearted, witty cozy mystery series featuring a G&T-loving senior sleuth who shoots her mouth rather than a gun.
MEET YOUR NEW FAVORITE FICTIONAL KITTIES
Cat Caliban has three cats — salt and pepper tabby Sophie, a grey and white tiger called Sadie and their little brother Sidney. Sophie and Sadie are often seen together, and love snuggling their human and her friends, although they’re not averse to expressing a little kitty disdain when it’s called for! Tuna junkie Sidney is a furry, purry menace in feline form. His favorite sport is lurking by the door playing attack cat — especially when there’s an unwelcome visitor —and he’s been known to get Cat out of a tight spot with the help of his sharp claws.
THE SETTING
Northside is a rough-around-the-edges urban neighborhood in Cincinnati with its own quirky and gritty charm. The streets are lined with a variety of second-hand stores, including Goodwill and an army-navy surplus. The hub of the local community is Bill’s Hardware, where the widget you want is usually hanging from the ceiling. Northside may be far from upscale, but the neighbors are both kind and quirky, and it’s the perfect place to buy a fixer-upper, to reinvent yourself – and to start a new crime-fighting career!
