A reclusive mystery writer. A scooter-riding preacher. A cat who knows too much.
Ella Bennett hasn’t left her sanitized cottage in months—until a desperate yowl leads her to a stray cat with blue-black fur and a dead body behind the church dumpsters.
The police call it a heart attack. But when the victim’s hair has turned white overnight and the local reverend swears he saw a demon, Ella knows something darker is at play. Armed with disinfectant spray, disposable gloves, and a lifetime of mystery-writing research, she reluctantly teams up with the eccentric Reverend Thorton and the church’s no-nonsense secretary to unmask a killer hiding behind small-town secrets and supernatural terror.
But as Ella digs deeper into a web of blackmail, missing money, and a haunting that may not be entirely fake, she begins to suspect that some mysteries can’t be solved with logic alone.
The shadows are watching. The cat is hissing at corners. And some mysteries have no earthly explanation…
For fans of Bailey Cates, Miranda James, and cozy mysteries with a whisper of the paranormal. Demons & Disinfectant is a witty, warm, and deliciously spooky debut featuring a germaphobic amateur sleuth, a found family of misfits, and a very special cat who always knows more than he lets on.
