Purr M for Murder is the first installment in the A Cat Rescue Mystery series featuring Sydney "Syd" McCall, Publicity Consultant for Friendly Paws, an animal shelter in Deer Park, North Carolina. Syd has left her Director of Marketing position in New York City after discovering her fiancée was cheating on her and has moved back to her hometown to work with her sister Katherine "Kat" at the shelter.

Excited for their first big event which will be a Cat Café, an opportunity for people to meet and hopefully adopt a few cats being held at their friend Dayna Haper's pastry and coffee shop. Unfortunately, Trowbridge Littleton, the towns most influential citizen, is voicing his displeasure about the event and would also like to see the shelter closed permanently. When the sisters make an early morning call to Littleton's office to try to reason with him, they discover him dead. Kat immediately becomes a prime suspect as she'd been heard arguing with him the night before. Determined to clear her sister's name and save the shelter, Kat sets out to find the real killer.

A fun, fast paced, quick read with a delightful cast of characters including Syd's best friend and room mate Leila Addams and Syd's high school sweetheart now Detective Will Worthington. Terrific animals especially the wandering "Toby", a large gold and white tabby cat with a penchant for adventure will have you running to the nearest animal shelter to adopt your own furry friend.
