Secrets and Pies - a Cat's Tale

Upperton Castle, England, 1958.

The roses are immaculate, the sherry is flowing – and a rather opinionated magical cat is about to stumble upon a murder.

Saphira – centuries old, effortlessly elegant and fully aware of it – has settled into life with her new witch, the lovely Ella. But when Ella misplaces her magic – and her husband misplaces their entire fortune – things are looking decidedly rum.

Then the local pie magnate turns up dead.

With Ella's husband in peril, a butler who's far too pleased with himself, and a trail of clues that smells faintly of Old Spice and scandal, Saphira must take matters into her exquisitely manicured paws. After all, a familiar of her standing has a reputation to uphold.

A delightfully British paranormal cosy – brimming with charm, gossip and just a whisper of romance.
The perfect introduction to the Milly's Magical Midlife series – or a whimsical standalone for anyone who enjoys a sharp-tongued feline heroine with standards.
