Fur-gotten Secrets

When Brenda Chapman is found at the bottom of the Elk Point Trail, the whole town calls it a terrible accident. A careful woman who lost her footing on a wet slope. Sheriff Iris Scott has no reason to think otherwise, and neither does anyone else.

Then Brenda's grieving son arrives at The Cozy Purrch with his mother's two cats and nowhere else to turn. He can't take them himself, and the sheriff thought of Alexis.

Alexis Belrose has spent nearly two years building a careful, hidden life in this little mountain town. A witch who runs a cat café and hears her cats speak, she knows better than most how to keep her head down. But the moment Brenda's cats settle into the café, something is wrong. Her own cats sense it before she does. A strange, chemical scent on a collar. An unease none of them can explain. Whatever Brenda left behind, it followed her cats through Alexis's door, and someone is already searching for it.

As Alexis pulls at the thread, it leads into the town's respected Wilderness Foundation, a trail of money that does not add up, and a slowly growing certainty that Brenda's fall was no accident at all. Worse, the deeper she digs, the closer the case creeps to the people she has come to love, and to a secret buried at the very heart of Larkspur Valley by someone close enough to break her heart.

Cozy café. Talking cats. A town full of people with something to hide. And a witch who is finally growing tired of running.

Fur-gotten Secrets is the fifth book in The Cozy Purrch Café Mysteries, a paranormal cozy series brimming with warmth, mountain-town charm, found family, and a heroine coming slowly but surely into her own power. Perfect for readers who love their mysteries with a cup of something warm, a cat or five, and a little bit of magic.
