MIMI LEE GETS A CLUE

This is the first book in the Sassy Cat Mystery Series featuring pet groomer Mimi Lee and Marshmallow, her talking cat.

Mimi Lee is in over her head. There's her new Los Angeles pet grooming shop to run, her matchmaking mother to thwart, her talking cat Marshmallow to tend to--oh, and the murder of a local breeder to solve...

Mimi Lee hoped to give Los Angeles animal lovers something to talk about with her pet grooming shop, Hollywoof. She never imagined that the first cat she said hello to would talk back or be quite so, well, catty.

When Marshmallow exposes local breeder Russ Nolan for mistreating Chihuahuas, Mimi steals some of her cat's attitude to tell Russ off. The next day the police show up at Hollywoof. Russ has been found dead, and Mimi's shouting match with him has secured her top billing as the main suspect.

Hoping to clear her name and save the pups Russ left behind, Mimi enlists help from her dreamy lawyer neighbor Josh. Even with him on board, it'll take Mimi and Marshmallow a lot of sleuthing to get back to the pet-grooming life--and off the murder scene.

We own two more books in the series, pubbing Sept 2020 and May 2021.
