Death by a Whisker is the second installment in the Cat Rescue Mystery series featuring Sydney "Syd" McCall, Publicity Director for the Friendly Paws Animal Shelter located in Deer Park, North Carolina. The shelter is buzzing with excitement in preparation for their upcoming fundraiser; a book signing by local author Dudley Simmons with all proceeds from the book sales going to the shelter.

When Dudley is injured in a car accident, Crowden's Bookstore owner Tara Pitsenberger recruits another Deer Park native Ulla Townsend, famed television shopping channel host. Unfortunately not everyone is delighted to have Ulla back in town. The woman had a reputation as being one of the mean girls in high school, her pranks leaving bad memories for a lot of the locals.

Ulla arrives as a diva, ruffling feathers and dredging up the past. Ultimately she signs her last book at the fundraiser and shelter employee Maggie Shayne becomes the prime suspect in Ulla's untimely death. With the help of her sister Kat and roommate/bestie journalist Leila Addams, Syd sets out against the wishes of boyfriend and homicide detective Wil Worthington to clear Maggie's name.

Fun, fast paced plot with plenty of suspects. Readers will once again fall in love with the animals of the shelter, and Syd's delightful tabby Toby will have you laughing aloud with his antics.
