What happens when a rival sets up his cupcake truck right outside the Norwegian Forest Cat Cafe?

Everyone in the small town in Northern California seems drawn to Jason, the good-looking yet arrogant cupcake baker, and his French Bulldog – which means no customers for the trio.

Who is the killer? The ex-girlfriend? The victim’s best friend? Even Ms. Tobin is considered a suspect by the new detective in charge of the case.

Lauren and Mitch go on a double date with Zoe and Chris, while Annie finds a possible clue.

Meanwhile, Zoe’s idea for AJ, the kitten Annie found, to train as Annie’s assistant in the café, doesn’t quite work out as planned.

But when the killer comes knocking, can Lauren, Annie, and Zoe find a way to escape? Or will they have served their last cupcake?

This is a humorous, clean, cat cozy mystery with female amateur sleuths, cupcake talk – and Annie, the Norwegian Forest Cat!

Cupcake baker Lauren, her cousin Zoe, and Annie, a Norwegian Forest Cat, run a popular cat café in the Californian town of Gold Leaf Valley.

When Father Mike, the beloved local priest, jets off to Miami for a church conference, he leaves a supply priest called Gavin in charge, and asks the trio to look after his grumpy Persian cat.

Mrs. Snuggle is not pleased at the arrangement, but Annie does her best to look after her, with Lauren and Zoe assisting.

But then Lauren and Zoe find Gavin’s body in the church parking lot!

Who could have killed the new priest? Someone from his past? Or someone from his present?

While the trio start sleuthing, Lauren whips up a new creation – lemon meringue cupcakes – which are a big hit.

When Lauren finds counterfeit money in her register, she can’t help wondering if it’s linked to Gavin’s “accident”.

But when she realizes who the killer is, thoughts of a romantic lunch with her boyfriend Mitch are cast aside. Can the trio foil the murderer, or will they have tasted their last lemon meringue cupcake?

 What could possibly go wrong?

 When Lauren and her cousin Zoe check out Stately Vue Hall, a posh wedding venue, they’re overwhelmed by the prices – and a young bridezilla. But when they visit the beautiful knot garden, they find the owner dead – in the hedge!

Not at all.

When Darrell doesn’t turn up for his last shift, Lauren, Annie (her Norwegian Forest Cat), and her police husband Mitch visit his apartment. And find him dead.
