Mystery
Darla Pettistone may have inherited her great aunt Deeβs Brooklyn bookstore, but itβs the storeβs mascotβan oversized black cat named Hamletβwho acts like he owns the place. And when someone turns up dead, Hamlet smells something rotten in Brooklynβ¦ As the owner of Pettistoneβs Fine Books, Darla is settling nicely into her new life, even reaching an uneasy truce with Hamlet. Unfortunately, when she needs to hire a new clerk, the finicky feline decides to lend a paw to the hiring process. He chases away applicants who donβt meet his approval, finally settling on an unlikely candidate: Robert, a book-loving Goth kid who has a secret only Hamlet knows. And Hamlet canβt seem to stay out of trouble. One of the bookstoreβs regular customers, a man who is renovating a local brownstone, claims heβs seen Hamlet prowling the neighborhood. When the manβs business partner is found dead, Darla discovers that Hamlet may have been the only witness to what could be murder. With the crafty catβs help, she wonders if they just might be able to pounce on a killer...
