When Violet Pennington inherits her aunt’s bookshop in the picturesque village of Brambleford, she expects dusty shelves and quiet afternoons, not a murder during book club and a cat who seems to know all the answers.

Sebastian Blackwood, celebrated mystery novelist, collapses mid-meeting, apparently poisoned by his own tea. While the police shrug it off as an accident, Agatha, the enigmatic and wise black cat, has other ideas. With uncanny intelligence and a habit of appearing where trouble brews, she leads Violet on a trail of hidden clues and long-buried secrets.

As Violet follows Agatha’s guidance, she uncovers a decades-old disappearance, a killer still at large, and a village brimming with secrets. With danger lurking behind every corner, Violet must trust her unusual feline partner and her own instincts before she becomes the next victim.

In Brambleford, the cats know more than they’re letting on, and the truth has been waiting twenty-five years to come to light.
