A secret in the donation jar. A missing recipe book. Forty-eight hours to find the truth. Mari Calloway only wants to bake her grandmother's lemon bars, raise money for the Pelican Cove animal shelter and survive the annual Harborside Charity Bake-Off. Then Pepper, the Saltwind Cat Café's large orange troublemaker, sends the donation jar crashing to the floor. Among the scattered coins and folded bills, Mari discovers an anonymous note: He's been taking it for years. Check the recipe book. The missing book appears to point directly at Mayor Aldous Finch. But the mayor's nervous behaviour, a second coded message and an event sponsor with a smile too polished to trust suggest that someone may be arranging the clues.
When the charity funds are frozen and the wrong person faces public disgrace, Mari must follow the numbers, recover the recipe book and trust her own observations before the real thief escapes. Set in the salt-aired village of Pelican Cove, The Cat Café Confession is a warm and witty short cozy mystery filled with baked treats, small-town secrets, an amateur sleuth and one orange cat with impeccable timing. Is this a standalone mystery?
Yes. The book delivers a complete mystery and a satisfying resolution while leaving room for future Mari Calloway adventures. Does the story contain graphic violence?
No. The mystery centres on missing charity funds, misleading clues and small-town secrets rather than graphic crime. Is Pepper a talking cat?
No. Pepper behaves like a real, opinionated cat-but his habit of sitting where he should not helps Mari uncover important evidence. PERFECT FOR READERS WHO ENJOY:
- Short and satisfying cozy mysteries
- Female amateur sleuths
- Cat café and baking settings
- Seaside villages and small-town secrets
- Clean mysteries without graphic violence
