Cat Noir

A jaded tabby cat suspects everyone when an elderly neighbor gets put down in this witty mystery series debut . . . After spending several months banged up in Sunny Banks rescue center, life is looking good for Aubrey, a large tabby cat who has finally found his forever home with Molly and Jeremy. However, all that changes when a killer begins to target elderly people in the neighborhood. Aubrey wasn't particularly upset by some of the previous deaths-particularly that of Miss Jenkins, who enjoyed throwing stones at cats. But the latest victim, Mr. Telling, was one of the good humans. Aubrey may be a pampered house pet now, but he still knows his way around the streets-and along with a few other local felines, he intends to pounce on this two-legged predator . . .

This English village may look peaceful, but a cat can smell trouble from a mile away . . . When pet cat Aubrey moves to the picturesque village of Fallowfield with his family, he is keen to explore the delights of the English countryside. However, the idyllic peace is shattered when a gruesome murder takes place at the village fete. Tensions run high as specters from the past begin to emerge. Aubrey is particularly bothered when suspicion falls on Morris, who may be eccentric, but is also a good friend to the local felines. It's time for Aubrey to step up. Can he solve the mystery before it's too late?

An attack on a retired journalist brings new attention to an old case, in this clever mystery with a cat's-eye view... Jeremy Goodman has been taking a class in local history taught by Margaret, a retired journalist. She's just dug up some intriguing new information in a forty-year-old unsolved triple homicide known as the Golf Course Murders, and now she's been attacked and left for dead. Jeremy is teaming up with an ex-cop classmate to look into Margaret's assault-and their fellow students, as well. Could one of them have a connection to the cold case? There's a lot of investigating that needs to be done-and his cats, Aubrey and Vincent, just might sniff out a key piece of evidence...

Something sinister is happening at a care home in a British seaside town-and Aubrey the cat is perfect at sniffing out trouble . . . Aubrey had initially dreaded the move to the coast with the Goodmans, but now he loves it. All those rock pools to muck about in, caves to explore, and endless food opportunities from the beach huts means life is good. And he's especially pleased that his best friend, Vincent, has joined the household. But the sun slips behind a cloud when a body is found near Lilac Tree Lodge, the home for the elderly in which Molly Goodman works. Not to mention that items have been going missing from the residents' rooms. Suddenly it doesn't all seem quite so jolly. But Aubrey and Vincent have been spending some time on the premises as part of a visiting-pet program, and they've seen enough to know that a game of cat and mouse is afoot . . .
