Hi! I hope you enjoyed A Purrfect Alibi . If you did enjoy it and want to keep up-to-date with all my latest releases, just sign up here . Your email address will never be shared and you can unsubscribe at any time.

I’ve always thought it would be great fun to be able to talk to ghosts, so I love to sprinkle them into my books. In my cozy little world, ghosts are never evil and always helpful. Cats too, though I know in real life cats are rarely helpful and always mischievous!

All best,

A Twist in the Tail

The Oyster Cove Guesthouse series Book 1

‘Talk about inconvenient. Not only did I have a dilapidated mansion and no money to repair it, two uppity cats and some cranky guests waiting for breakfast, there was also a dead body in the stairwell.’

Josie Waters is the enthusiastic new owner of the Oyster Cove Guesthouse – a ramshackle Victorian mansion high on a hill above the breezy seaside town of Oyster Cove, Maine. Josie has a history in Oyster Cove, but she’s not going to let anyone – from her crazy friend Millie to her old flame Mike – stand in the way of making this venture a success.

But then Josie’s first guest – a stuffy food critic – is murdered before breakfast, and the town sheriff suspects Josie could be to blame. Thank goodness Nero and Marlowe – the guesthouse’s resident cats – are also on the case. Little does Josie know, this isn’t their first investigation… but can they find the clues to the real killer before another guest is targeted?

Following her cats’ noses, it isn’t long before Josie discovers that the critic ruffled more than a few feathers in his day. In fact, from the rule-obsessed local Building Inspector to the guesthouse’s pernickety maid, there’s not a person in Oyster Cove who doesn’t have a secret to hide… could one of the locals be a cold-blooded killer in disguise? And with her beloved guesthouse’s very future on the line, can Josie solve the case in time?

A joy to read, with a twist you’ll never guess! From the award-winning author of the USA TODAY bestselling Mystic Notch series. Purrfect for murder mystery fans, cat lovers and everyone in between.

FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE BELOVED USA TODAY BESTSELLING MYSTIC NOTCH SERIES…

Discovering the 300-year-old skeleton of shipping tycoon Jedediah Biddeford in the ballroom wall is a big old hassle for Josie Waters, owner of the Oyster Cove Guesthouse. Especially when Biddeford’s descendants turn up, certain that a family legend about treasure buried nearby must be true.

Josie is too busy dreaming up the perfect cake for the Oyster Cove’s 250th anniversary celebration to worry about the Biddeford family – plus half the town – digging up her yard… until one of her guests is murdered in the guesthouse garden.

With worries that her guesthouse will get a reputation for being the kind of place you only leave in a body bag, Josie must put her detective skills to work to find the killer. Lucky for her, Nero and Marlowe and their gang of cat sleuths are also on the case.

From the old wharf, to the town common, to the guesthouse itself with its many nooks and crannies, the cats are sure to sniff out the killer… but can they help Josie stop the person behind the mysterious murder before they strike again?

A fantastic page-turner from a bestselling author, purrfeect for fans of Agatha Christie, Adele Abbott, cat lovers and everyone in between!

Recipes

Homemade Turkey Sausage

This homemade sausage is not only delicious, but it’s good for you too!

Ingredients:

1/2 pound ground turkey breast

1 egg white, beaten slightly

1/4 cup onion, chopped fine

1/4 cup apples, chopped fine

3 tablespoons quick-cook oats

1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground sage

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Nonstick cooking spray

Directions:

Coat a 10-inch skillet with the nonstick spray.

Combine the egg white, onion, apples, oats, parsley, salt, pepper, sage and nutmeg in a bowl. Add the ground turkey and mix well.

Shape the mixture into patties and fry in the pan until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear. About 6 minutes on each side. Drain off the fat.

Lemon Muffins

Ingredients (makes 12):

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons baking powder

2 tablespoons grated lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup milk

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 egg

1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees F / 205 degrees C / Gas Mark 6.

Line a muffin tray with muffin cups.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, zest and salt in a medium bowl.

In a small bowl, combine butter, milk and egg. Mix well.

Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed. Do not over mix—you want the batter to be lumpy.

Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Sprinkle powdered sugar over top and let cool.

Spinach Frittata

Ingredients:

1/2 pound spinach, chopped rough

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

8 eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F / 230 degrees C / Gas Mark 8.

Heat olive oil in oven-safe glass or cast-iron skillet and toss in spinach. Stir and cook for 2 or 3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, add milk and stir.

Pour egg mixture into the skillet and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Add the wilted spinach. Stir to combine.
