Tailed: A Psycho Cat and the Landlady Mystery - Paperback

by Joyce Ann Brown (Author)

Near the end of an almost purr-fect RV vacation to Texas, Beth, the landlady, and her Psycho Cat deal with break-ins, gun theft, and murder. Beth's brother-in-law becomes a "person of interest." It's all enough to make Beth wonder if trouble is tailing them on the way home, too. "Doubtful," Beth's hubby, Arnie, insists. "Why would anyone want to follow the RV from Texas to Kansas City?" Why indeed?

At the same time, two petty crooks, Gil and Freddy, fumble about, trying to retrieve a stash of drugs that will make them rich enough to go straight. Without getting caught!

Psycho Cat whizzes around the RV, yowls, and acts up in general. Beth investigates, despite Arnie's skepticism. She must decode Psycho Cat's signals to figure out if they are being tailed, connect the real killers to the murder, and save her brother-in-law from going to prison. A few wrong moves and--this could be the end of the road for the sleuthing duo.

BONUS: Recipes of foods mentioned in the story are included at the end of the book.
