Morel Of The Story

This cozy series has everything you want and more: an eclectic cast of characters, a mystery or two, and diligent detectives on duty. The detectives, feline and canine, figure it all out, but they have a dickens of a time getting the humans to understand them. The series, Tiger Lily's Café, is set in a Midwestern town nestled into the sunset coast of a Great Lake. The setting itself acts as a character, bringing the reader into the sights, sounds and smells of the small resort community of Chelsea. Read the series in order, or read any book alone. Each volume stands alone with a clear beginning and a clear end. This volume continues the story of Annie, a woman whose ownership of a prime piece of real estate and several businesses was almost a mistake. But own it, she does, and she makes the best of an idyllic situation. With her family of rescue cats and a diverse collection of business managers, staff and friends, Annie embraces her home on The Avenue, a picturesque slice of life that embodies the best - and sometimes the worst - that humanity has to offer. Action unfurls around the globe. Tiger Lily, knowing she and her siblings will be on vacation, leave Simon Finnegan and Oscar McMurphy in charge of the detective agency in Chelsea. They rise to the challenge with the help of their friends. Chris and Annie are camping a few hundred miles away. Murder follows. Tiger Lily and her siblings have to figure out "who done it" and help Annie and Chris out of a jam. Henrie visits his native country, Cameroon, with his new friend Collette. His home town is only one hundred fifty miles from the birthplace of Boko Haram. Unfortunately for Henrie, he traveled without detective cats to help. George manages the KaliKo Inn for Henrie and Annie. He now realizes how difficult running the Inn can be, particularly when Guests-From-Perdition come for a visit. He doesn't realize the local cats are there to help. Come visit with the folks of Chelsea for a while.
