A Library Journal Debut of the Month This witty and whimsical cozy mystery series debut will be the cat’s meow for fans of Rita Mae Brown and Miranda James. A pet boutique owner races to sniff out a killer cat burglar in this “delightful” romp “steeped in the flavor of New Orleans” (Krista Davis, New York Times–bestselling author of the Paws & Claws mysteries). Grandeur and opulence are everything in the famed New Orleans Garden District where pets are family and no bling is too big. Opening Furry Godmother, pet boutique and organic treat bakery, is Lacy Marie Crocker’s dream come true—until the glitter gun used to make her Shih Tzu tutus becomes a murder weapon. And Lacy becomes public enemy #1. Now Detective Jack Oliver is hounding Lacy, and her Furry Godmother investor wants out before his name is tarnished by association. To make matters worse, a string of jewel heists with suspicious ties to the murder case has New Orleans residents on edge. To save her dream, Lacy must take a stand, put her keen eyes to work, and unravel what really happened at her shop that night. But can Lacy sniff out the killer cat burglar in time to get her tail-raising designs on the catwalk?
