Publisher's summary

Welcome back to the charming New England coast, where Maddie James' cat cafe is at risk of becoming a crime scene for the purrfect murder....

Maddie is hoping to have some downtime during Daybreak Island's off-season to tackle her to-do list. Her grandfather's house-turned-cat-cafe is under construction, and she's also scoping out places to open a juice bar on the island. On top of that, her relationship with adorable dog groomer Lucas has taken a pawsitive turn.

But easy is getting harder every day for Maddie, especially when a big-name writer who's on the island working on a new project winds up floating in the canal. This, on the exact same day an eccentric woman shows up at the cafe claiming Maddie's cat, JJ, is hers.

As the investigation into the dead writer picks up, Maddie realizes that even the neighbors she's known all her life might be keeping secrets that go deep into the heart of this small seaside town. Meanwhile, a killer remains at-large...and on the prowl.

So much to like

Clever story line, skilled narration, delightful cast of supporting characters. I would like to see more cat involvement and less of the main character Maddie. It’s hard to give five stars when disliking the main character so much for her sanctimonious and rude behavior towards others.

Don't waste your time

Slow. Way to long. Kept skipping through thinking it would get better,,,, Never did!
The narrator is drab, slow no personality.
The story could have been good iif you had a good editor and a different narrator!!!!!
