Hubby and I are such rebels. We are taking the baby bassets out of school early today to visit Santa and take pictures. We do this every year, mainly to avoid the mall craziness and the long lines for Santa pictures. It’s insane to make children wait in a long line, dressed in their “Nice” shirts, and expect them to be good. Heck! I can’t even do it without starting to fuss and fight. I want the whole experience of visiting Santa to be wonderful, not one of me yelling at my baby bassets to get back in line, stop arguing with your brother, and get that out of your mouth. Yes, I still find myself saying that to my baby bassets who are now 7 and 9 years old. Weird boys.

The leaves have turned and autumn has finally come to the small town of Ashbrook, New Hampshire. Beatrice Young, the sixty-two-year-old owner of the Cozy Cat Café, is busy slinging coffee for tourists. Yet when her ever-perceptive Maine Coon cat, Hamish, sniffs out a fake twenty-dollar bill, the hunt is on to find its maker. And then there’s the fact that Jordan Clark has disappeared – he was seen walking out of a bar towards the woods, never to be seen again. With the help of the ever-grumpy sheriff, her black cat Lucky, and her ex-husband and best friend Matthew, Beatrice finds intriguing links between the two mysteries. Jordan has a complicated past, one that could draw out a dangerous killer and place him squarely in Beatrice’s path. In the end, it’s up to her feline companions to find the clues that will keep her safe, put the culprit behind bars, and restore order to Ashbrook once more. The Counterfeiter-Catching Cat is the first book in the Beatrice Young cozy cat mystery series. These books can be read in any order but are extra delightful when enjoyed in sequence.
