Murder in the Meow - A Pepper and Osiris Mystery, #1

Osiris may be descended from Egyptian Pharaoh cats, but even he's not above solving a murder ... Will his new human, Pepper Park, a young American lawyer on a holiday, be up to the challenge? This was supposed to be a normal vacation for me to get away from legal work. Just renting a little cottage in an idyllic English town for the summer. It wasn't supposed to involve the two things I dread the most.murder and cats.
After just one day of being settled into my picture perfect life at the cottage, the man who lives in the fancy manor house next door ends up dead and a priceless Egyptian artifact from his travels goes missing and I'm the one to blame. As if things are bad enough, being suspected of murder, this darn cat keeps showing up at my house every night, and he won't leave me alone. I'm starting to suspect he's trying to tell me something.
The last thing I want is to go sleuthing under cover of darkness in the English countryside to find a murderer with my only companion being a pushy Egyptian Mau cat, but it just might be what I have to do in order to enjoy the rest of my vacation.
