The dead donโt keep pets. So when animal behaviorist expert Pru Marlowe gets a call about a kitten, she doesnโt expect to find the cuddly creature playing beside the cooling body of prominent Beauville lawyer David Canaday. Heart attack? His three adult daughters angrily blame drug interactions, feline allergiesโand each other. And begin to feud over their father, his considerable estate, and that cute ball of fluff.
While the cause of death is pending, each sister has an axe to grind โwith arguments that escalate when Davidโs partner reads out the will. Pruโs special sensory talents and sensitivity to animals that caused her to flee the cacophony of Manhattan for the quiet Berkshires add further problems. The local vet is overwhelmed with money running out. Thereโs that needy Sheltie and some invasive squirrels?
But the dead manโs kitten, his former partner, and his troublesome family keep drawing โwild-girlโ animal psychic Pru back in. Despite the wry observations of her trusty tabby Wallis, now the wrongfully accused kittenโs guardian, and the grudging compliance of her cop lover, this may be one time when Pru canโt solve the mystery or save the kitten she wants to believe is innocent. A single witness knows the truth about that bright spring morning. How far can Pru investigate without risking her own hidden tale?
