A Whales and Tails cozy
mystery series is set on Madrona Island, a fictional island within
the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State. As a fourth
generation islander Caitlin Hart is struggling to make her way as the
economy and culture of the island evolves toward a tourism based
industry. Cait lives in a cabin on her aunt's oceanfront estate where
she helps her aunt run Harthaven Cat Sanctuary. When she isn't
working with the cats, she helps best friend Tara, operate Coffee Cat
Books, a coffee bar/bookstore/cat lounge.
Like all Kathi Daley
Cozies, this series will include close friendships, a romance
element, and recipes. This series differs from the others in that
there is a ‘light’ paranormal element as Caitlin is helped in her
investigation by Bella and Tansy, two very
intuitive women who sell herbs and tell
fortunes, and a series of extremely helpful
cats who seem to show up and point her in the right direction at just
the right time.
Romeow and Juliet:
In the first installment of the series, Caitlin and her dog Max find
the body of a member of the island council dead in the back room of
the old fish cannery. As Cait delves into the murder she finds
herself with an unlikely sleuthing partner. Meanwhile, Cait’s first
love, returns to the island after being away for ten years, and
Romeo, a stray cat that followed Cait home, is causing all sorts of
problems with the neighbor next door. In spite of dire warnings from
both Cait and the neighbor, Romeo refuses to stay away from Juliet, a
very expensive show cat, who may just lead Cait to the answers she
needs.
The
Mad Catter: In book 2 of the series, a
beautiful white cat named Alice comes into Caitlin’s life. Although
Cait is expecting Alice’s arrival, she is unprepared for the fact
that the fury feline is about to lead her down a rabbit hole in which
nothing is quite what it seems. Not only does Cait find out that a
very unlikely person is behind her Aunt Maggie’s illness, but when
a body is found in the church, the only real suspect is someone
Cait’s heart tells her couldn’t possibly be a killer.
Grimm's Furry Tail:
Caitlin’s friend Cody buys the old newspaper and discovers a
previously unpublished edition that details a murder that occurred
decades ago. The fact that the story was written but never published
peaks the curiosity of the friends, who decide to delve into a cold
case that reaches back fifty years. When the truth is discovered they
struggle with the ramifications of what they have uncovered. They
know that revealing it will rock the small island community to its
core.
