Witch Cats of Cambridge

Becca, newly single and newly unemployed, wants to believe she has psychic powers. With nothing but time-and a desire for empowerment-she's studying to become a witch. What she doesn't know is that her three cats-Harriet, Laurel, and Clara-are the ones with the real power. And when Harriet, a cream-colored longhair with more fur than commonsense, conjures a pillow for her own comfort, Becca believes her spells are finally working. Could that be why Trent, the coven's devilishly handsome leader, has been showing her special attention? Or why Suzanne, a longtime coven member, draws her aside to share a secret-a confidence that may lead to murder?

When two new clients seek Becca's professional services, the fledgling witch detective is overjoyed. Finally, she can use her skills to help her magical community. But as the young witch finds the new cases intertwining, things grow more complicated. Becca's three cats-the ones with the real power-can smell something is wrong with these clients. But not even Clara, the calico, knows what to do when a man ends up dead and a powerful and poisonous root appears-and disappears-in the case. To make matters worse, Clara and her littermates are feuding, and she can't tell them about an unsettling interaction she's had with one of the client's sisters. Is it possible that some humans may have the same powers as the magical felines? What does that mean for Clara's beloved Becca-and for the potent poison that has already taken one person's life?

When a panicked stranger shows up at Charm and Cherish, Becca Colwin feels compelled to help. But when that stranger then disappears, leaving behind her heirloom violin, the aspiring witch detective is drawn further into a web of deceit and intrigue complicated by a history only her three magical cats truly understand.

It's kitten season in Cambridge, and the results can be murder. Becca Colwin is coming home from her job at Charm and Cherish when she sees a tortoiseshell kitten run down an alley-leading to a dead body. As a connection between Becca and that corpse is confirmed, Becca comes under suspicion-and is dragged into a cyberware scandal, thanks to her cheating ex, Jeff. The unfaithful computer geek and his high-powered investor were working on stealth software designed to record and transmit personal data, a new form of spyware that would be of interest to everyone from the police and security agencies to cybercriminals. And when Jeff's former friends and colleagues approach her, Becca finds the police aren't the only ones watching her. Meanwhile, Becca is sheltering the little tortie, who seems to have some powers of her own, much to the dismay of her three resident cats. These powers may help Becca discern friend from foe, solve the murder, and clear her name, with the help of her mystical feline friends.
