The multiverse's greatest detective uses a litterbox.

A collection of the first five novelettes in The Psychic Cat Mysteries series. All five stories amount to the length of a full-length novel.

Mr. Poe was born under a patio--a humble beginning for a kitten who would gain psychic powers through the Ring of Bau, and ultimately become the finest detective Haven has ever seen. He lives in a retirement community for immortals, solving murders, finding what's gone missing, and never missing a nap.

- The Cat of Amontillado

- The Tell Tale Cat

- Masque of the Red Cat

- Fall of the House of Cat

- The Cat and the Pendulum

This is a series of novelettes, each around 12-15,000 words. These cozy stories are perfect to read while curled up with a hot coffee on a chill autumn morning.

This was a really short and sweet cozy mystery that I unexpectedly really enjoyed! Five stars, I really do want to read more in this series, even though it is a paranormal mystery series and therefore can’t really count as book research for my in progress cozy mystery series. Also, much of the mystery was solved off-screen and I didn’t really know how the mystery was going.
