Release: August 2016
Series: Cats In Trouble #8
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Publisher: Penguin Random House
In the latest mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of The Cat, the Sneak and the Secret, a cat collector is suspected of murder.
Jillian Hart and police chief Tom Stewart are enjoying peaceful, newly wedded bliss in Mercy, South Carolina, until a woman is found wandering the streets one night. She’s in her night clothes, disoriented, and carrying a kitten in a tote bag. A search of the woman’s house reveals many more cats, a maze of cardboard boxes—and a dead man.
Although the evidence suggests the frail woman is the killer, Jillian doesn’t believe she’s capable of such a crime. The dead man had many enemies in town, which means finding the real murderer may prove to be its own cat and mouse game. . .
About the author
Leann Sweeney was born and raised in Niagara Falls and is the creator of two NAL/Obsidian mystery series: The Yellow Rose Mysteries and the Cats in Trouble Mysteries. The Cat, The Quilt and The Corpse, first in the Cats in Trouble Mysteries was the #1 bestseller on the Independent Mystery Bookseller’s List when it debuted and made several top twenty lists for 2009 at bookstores across the country. Since then, The Cat, The Lady and The Liar, The Cat, The Vagabond and the Victim and The Cat, The Wife and The Weapon climbed all the way to the NY Times bestseller list for mass market paperbacks.
Leann is married with two fabulous grown children, a wonderful son-in-law and a beautiful daughter-in-law–not to mention three amazing granddaughters. She lived in Texas from 1974 to 2012 and now lives in South Carolina with husband Mike, her two cats Wexford and Lynley, and Rosie–the smart, retrieving, golf-ball chasing, busy-busy-busy mini-labradoodle.

Not a new author for me, but would be a new series (yay!). 🙂
I really can’t wait to read this one. I have loved all of her books so far and can’t wait to read many more.
Great series! I’m looking forward to reading “The Cat, The Collector, and The Killer”. Cats and mysteries just go together, which makes this such a great series.
Thanks for reviewing this book here. It sounds delightful!
my favorite series!
I’ve never been a cat person until recently when both my sons adopted two cats each. Cats are such mysterious animals so it fits right in with the mystery of murder. Sounds like the purr-fect read!
Have heard of this author, but have not read this series. This book sounds interesting, will be on the look out for it.
I have enjoyed a few of the Cats In Trouble books and can relate as I have had cats all my life, and for the past month babysitting my daughter’s cat who loves to “get in trouble” with her climbing to find new adventures each day and NIGHT!!! 🙂 I would love to be included in the giveaway for this 8th book. The covers in this series are always adorable and always make me smile. Thank you.

I love this series…even though I am a “Kat” person, I have a hard time living with ‘cats.’ I love them just the same…independent, stubborn, yet loving! The books are a great, easy, and fun read!
I’m excited to get started on this series. I just discovered it and it sounds great! Thanks for the chance to win!
