Kitty Confidential
Part 1 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
This talking cat has a murder to solve... But will his new human agree to play Watson to his Sherlock?
I was just your normal twenty-something with seven associate degrees and no idea what I wanted to do with my life. That is, until I died… Well, almost.
As if a near-death experience at the hands of an old coffeemaker wasn't embarrassing enough, I woke up to find I could talk to animals. Or rather one animal in particular.
His full name is Octavius Maxwell Ricardo Edmund Frederick Fulton, but since that's way too long for anyone to remember, I've taken to calling him Octo-Cat. He talks so fast he can be difficult to understand, but seems to be telling me that his late owner didn't die of natural causes like everyone believes.
Well, now it looks like I no longer have a choice, apparently my life calling is to serve as Blueberry Bay's first ever pet whisperer P.I while maintaining my façade as a paralegal at the offices of Fulton, Thompson & Associates.
I just have one question: How did Dr. Dolittle make this gig look so easy?
Terrier Transgressions
Part 2 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
Cat detective meets doggie witness... What could possibly go wrong?
I'm finally coming to terms with the fact I can speak to animals, even though the only one who ever talks back is the crabby tabby I've taken to calling Octo-Cat. What I haven't quite worked out is how to hide my secret…
Now one of the associates at my law firm has discovered this strange new talent of mine and insists I use it to help defend his client against a double murder charge. To make things worse, Octo-Cat has no intention of helping either of us.
Our only hope rests on an unhinged Yorkie named Yo-Yo, who hasn't quite figured out his owner is dead. Can we find a way to get Yo-Yo to help solve the murder without breaking his poor doggie heart?
Hairless Harassment
Part 3 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
These two cats are naked and afraid... But did they also kill their owner?
I never signed up to be a private investigator with a snarky, talking cat for a partner, but there's no backing down now. Especially considering a prominent politician was murdered pretty much right in my backyard.
The only witnesses were the senator's two hairless cats, Jacques and Jillianne. Normally pets want to help us solve their owner's murders, but this time it seems the two devious felines might actually be the ones who committed it…
Surprisingly enough, my own partner in crime, Octo-Cat, actually wants to help this time, but he can barely understand our two prime suspects because of their strange Sphynx accents. And I thought speaking tabby was hard!
So, there you have it, even with two successful cases behind me, I really don't know how I'm going to solve this one. Is it too late to go back and pick another career?
Dog-Eared Delinquent
Part 4 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
Octo-Cat's nine lives are on the line when he and Angie finally discover why they're able to speak to each other...
Apparently I've been slacking on the job as a paralegal, even though the firm doesn't know that I'm secretly working as the area's premier Pet Whisperer P.I. to solve our toughest cases behind the scenes. Now they've hired an intern to "help" me manage my workload…
But what the partners don't realize is that they've let a nefarious criminal into our offices. Trust me, Octo-Cat can smell this guy's stink from a mile away. The worst part? I'm pretty sure he can talk to animals too… and he most definitely isn't using his talents to solve crimes and defend the innocent.
I've always wondered how that zap from an old coffeemaker landed me with supernatural abilities. Now it's time to find out once and for all. Otherwise I fear I may wind up losing them–and my trusty talking feline sidekick–for good.
The Cat Caper
Part 5 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
What's even worse than having a snarky talking tabby as your best friend? When he inexplicably goes missing…
Octo-Cat is gone, and all the evidence suggests that he was taken on purpose. With the growing number of people the two of us have put behind bars, it's no surprise that someone's out for revenge.
But how will I ever manage to solve this particular crime without the help of my partner?
The only other person who might be able to help me just relocated to Georgia. But I'm desperate enough to try anything, including exposing my secret to the whole of Blueberry Bay.
Anything to bring him home safe. Oh, Octo-Cat. Where have you gone?
Chihuahua Conspiracy
Part 6 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
A tiny rescue dog. A spoiled house cat. A big mystery to solve.
My crazy old Nan loves making decisions on a whim. Last week, she took up flamenco dancing. This week, she's adopted a trouble-making Chihuahua named Paisley. This wouldn't be much of a problem, were it not for the very crabby tabby who also lives with us.
Man, I never thought I'd miss hearing Octo-Cat's voice, but his silent protest is becoming too much to bear, especially since we just opened our new P.I. business together.
Things go from bad to worse, of course, when Nan and I discover that someone has been embezzling funds from the local animal shelter. If we can't find the culprit soon, the shelter may not be able to keep its lights on and those poor homeless pets won't have anywhere to go.
Okay, so I just need to find the thief, rescue the animals, and save the day-all while trying to find a way for Octo-Cat and Paisley to set aside their differences and work together as a team. Yeah, wish me luck…
Raccoon Racketeer
Part 7 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
Is this nosy trash panda a sleuth or a suspect?
Lately my life has seemed pretty perfect-great house, great gig as my own boss, great new boyfriend, and the world's most awesome talking cat. Turns out I shouldn't have let my guard down…
Even though my private investigation firm is brand new, I've already got some not-so-friendly competition, and it's coming from the sticky-fingered raccoon who lives under my front porch. I have no doubt he's robbing his clients since he's stealing from mine, too.
Things go from irritating to downright dangerous when he foists a little trinket from my attic, one that suggests dark secrets and spells big trouble for my beloved Nan. I need to learn more, but that's not going to be easy since the person of interest lives under the same roof.
Can I trust this raccoon racketeer with something so dear? Unfortunately, I haven't got any other options.ns.
Himalayan Hazard
Part 8 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
Cats on a train are so much better than snakes on a plane!
Ever feel like your entire world has been turned on its head? That's how I've felt ever since the gang and I found out that Nan has been keeping major family secrets stashed neatly away in the attic.
What's worse, we still don't know exactly what happened, and I have so many follow-up questions, like is she still the same woman I always assumed she was? And can I ever fully trust her again?
With Nan unable to give me a straight answer, I invite my parents to join me for a cross-country train trip so that we can all discover the truth, once and for all. Octo-Cat hitches a ride with us, too, and it's a good thing he does, because it isn't long before a dead body joins us in the dining car.
Now we have two mysteries to solve, and fast-our lives and legacy depend on it.
Hoppy Holiday Homicide
Part 9 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
Tis the season for a double ho-ho-homicide!
Nobody does the holidays like small-town Maine, and my particular small town just so happens to be the very best at decking the halls and rocking around the big Christmas tree downtown.
Yes, every year, Glendale puts on a Holiday Spectacular that's grander and greater than the one that came before. Unfortunately, the only thing everyone's going to remember this year is the two dead bodies that show up in the center of the ice sculpture garden.
With the whole town having come out to play, everyone's in close proximity to the crime scene-and everyone's a suspect. A great many fingers are pointed my way, too, since it was me and my cat that discovered the deathly duo. With only my whacky Nan, recently discovered cousin, overly optimistic Chihuahua, and snarky feline to help me, can I clear my name and save Christmas all in one perfectly executed investigation?
Hold on to your jingle bells, because it's going to be a wild ride.
Retriever Ransom
Part 10 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
A dognapping turns into a kidnapping, which turns into... murder? Be careful out there, Octo-Cat!
A new year means a new mayor in the sleepy seaside town of Glendale. Unfortunately, not everyone's happy about his election. In fact, someone's so unhappy that they kidnap his beloved Golden Retriever and leave a ransom note claiming they'll only return the dog when the man resigns his position.
Enter Angie and Octo-Cat with their first official paying case. Little does the mayor know that while they work to safely recover his ransomed retriever, they'll also be investigating his past to figure out why someone would go so far to keep him out of office.
Can a talking cat find a missing dog? Will he even want to? Find out in the latest adventure of Pet Whisperer P.I.

Charles has been hinting at a big surprise he's planned for our first Valentine's Day together, but the arrival of the kittens quickly changes everything. Now he's helping me figure out who put the babies on my porch and why their paws are covered in blood. Meanwhile Octo-Cat is left to play babysitter to the unruly brood while we investigate, and he's none too happy about it.
Right, so all we have to do is keep the kittens safe, solve their mystery, find forever homes for them, and try to find a way to salvage Valentine's Day. That shouldn't be too impossible…
Legal Seagull
Part 12 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
Just as I was beginning to think we'd never find the last missing member of our long-lost family, a seagull named Bravo shows up with both a promise and a threat.
He claims he's been watching me for a long time-even before I gained my strange ability to talk to animals. He also says that if I help settle a dispute between warring flocks, then he'll personally take me to see the one person I've been all but dying to meet. If I refuse to help, however, he'll send an army of mercenary woodpeckers to destroy my house. Yikes!
Unfortunately, I've already promised Octo-Cat that I'll take him on a cross-country trip to visit his girlfriend out in Colorado. With Nan and I on the road, it falls to Charles and Pringle to investigate in our absence.
Will they be able to solve the case according to the flock's satisfaction? What shocking secrets has Nan been keeping from me now? And will I be able to survive more than 70 hours in the car with my complaining kitty?

Part 17 of the Pet Whisperer P.I. series
The old stone mansion Charles and I have booked for our week-long honeymoon seems to be something straight out of a fairytale.
That is, until it all starts to fall apart. Quite literally. My poor husband plunges straight through the staircase on our first night--and it's a real wonder he didn't need serious medical intervention after that.
I want to find another place to stay, but Charles insists he's okay and that he'd like to see the week out. Of course, we become stucker than stuck when we stumble upon a lost kitten crying for her missing mama in the back garden.
We can't just leave her, but we also can't stay here, especially once deadly rumors begin buzzing in the garden… What happened to Charles wasn't a mistake, but he also may not be the intended target.
