Syd and her feline partner-in-crime embark on another “clever, fast and fun” cozy mystery adventure as they try to save the local animal shelter from scandal (Suspense Magazine)
Getting used to life back home in Deer Park, North Carolina, Sydney McCall and her right-hand tabby, Toby, are helping her sister Kat run the local animal shelter. Syd and Kat are all excited about the prospect of the shelter’s newest fundraiser: shopping channel queen Ulla Townsend. Shelter admin Maggie Shayne vehemently refuses to have anything to do with the woman, but the fundraiser ensues as planned. That is, until Ulla turns up dead in the middle of the event.
The cause of death is determined to be an allergic reaction, but Syd and Toby are sniffing out something fishy. When Syd met Ulla, it was clear she was distasteful and rude. And right before the event, Syd spotted some behind-the-scenes drama between Ulla and her manager. As they begin to investigate, they realize there is no shortage of suspects, and Maggie is at the top of the list.
Now Syd and Toby must claw their way to the truth before everything goes paws up at their animal shelter in Death by a Whisker by national bestselling author T. C. LoTempio.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sydney McCall left a prestigious job at a New York ad agency to come home to Deer Park, N.C., and help her sister, Kat, run the Friendly Paws Animal Shelter. In LoTempio's cute second Cat Rescue mystery (after 2017's Purr M for Murder), best-selling author Dudley Simmons has agreed to appear at a fund-raiser for the shelter, but, when he's hurt in a car accident, Ulla Townsend, a TV shopping network celebrity with a soon-to-be-published autobiography, agrees to step in at the last minute, much to everyone's relief. Ulla's autobiography is rumored to dish a lot of dirt on everyone who ever crossed paths with her, so when she's found on the shelter's bathroom floor, dead from a mysterious allergic reaction, there are plenty of suspects to investigate. Fortunately, Syd has a knack for solving mysteries. She also has a reporter best friend, a gorgeous detective boyfriend, and a cat named Toby who supplies crucial clues. What more could a cozy mystery reader want?)
