Clara Mercer has a plan: six weeks to settle her late aunt’s estate in Whispering Falls, Pennsylvania, then back to her career in Philadelphia.
She’s a project manager. She’s good at plans.
Then a dead man turns up on the creek trail.
The Victorian house hums when she touches the walls.
And the large orange cat in the parlor looks at her with the patience of someone who has been waiting for exactly this moment and clears his throat.
Bartles has things to tell her.
Since Evie Blackwood died, seven opinionated house cats have been running the Blackwood estate on their own, guarding an ancient ward system woven into the bones of the property.
But the wards are weakening; something in the surrounding wood knows it, and the dead surveyor may have uncovered a secret someone in town wanted buried.
Now Clara has a murder to solve, thirteen shelter cats to place, and a magical legacy system to take over before the estate falls into the wrong hands.
She has a PMP certification, a very good spreadsheet, a helpful vet, and a sheriff who stops by more often than strictly necessary.
She’ll figure out the rest.
Whiskers & Wards is a warm, witty, slow-burn paranormal cozy mystery with a sharp protagonist, clever cats, gentle magic, small-town secrets, and a mystery that resolves completely within the first three books.
Perfect for fans of Amanda M. Lee, Leighann Dobbs, and Annabel Chase.
