Purrfect deceit
(Book - Regular Print)

Ideally reporters aren't supposed to take on paying clients. It's against the reporter's code - if there is such a thing as a reporter's code. I may be thinking of doctors. At any rate, when Joshua Curtis showed up in Odelia's office, asking her to catch a person in the act of being unfaithful, it's only understandable that my human balked at the request. But then she took comfort in the fact that a juicy article might come out of this, and so she took the case. Little did she know this would lead to a triple homicide, which would put her on a collision course with her uncle, our local Chief of Police. Meanwhile the buzz surrounding Odelia's shotgun wedding still hadn't died down, with many members of the citizenry upset and giving my human the stink eye. And then of course there was Dooley, on the lookout for the stork which he was sure would soon be delivering Odelia and Chase's baby. And since trouble always comes in threes, there was the rift that threatened to rip cat choir apart, Gran acting like a loose cannon again, and yours truly being relied upon to fix all of the above. Okay, so maybe trouble comes in fours - or even fives! Such is life in Hampton Cove.
