Purr-colated Poison

A killer brew with a touch of magic.

Alexis Belrose has spent the past year building a quiet life in Larkspur Valley, Colorado. Running The Cozy Purrch, a cat café nestled in the mountains, she serves specialty drinks to friendly locals and finds homes for rescued cats. It's the perfect place to hide from a dangerous past and the coven she fled without looking back.

But Alexis has a secret. She's a witch who can communicate telepathically with cats. And her four permanent feline residents see and hear everything that happens in their small mountain town.

When her dear friend Hazel is found dead in the alley behind the café, staged to look like an accident, Alexis knows the truth. This was murder. And her cats witnessed it.

The problem? She can't exactly tell Sheriff Iris Scott that her grumpy black and white cat Gus can identify the killer by scent. With suspicion swirling and the real murderer still walking free, Alexis must investigate on her own. Using her cats as covert operatives, she begins untangling a web of small-town secrets, bitter rivalries, and old grudges worth killing for.

As Alexis gets closer to the truth, threatening notes appear and break-ins escalate. Someone knows she's asking questions. Someone wants her to stop. And if she's not careful, the killer might decide that the nosy café owner knows too much.

But Alexis isn't just fighting for justice. She's fighting to protect the life she's built and the community that's slowly becoming home. Even if solving this murder means using the magical abilities she's spent years hiding.

In a town where everyone knows everyone, trust is dangerous. And in a cozy café full of cats with opinions, nothing stays secret for long.
