In FUR LOVE OR MONEY, Sarah Grayson and Elvis find themselves assisting Charlotte’s Angels to uncover who murdered Ian Stone, a financial advisor who stole investors’ money and conveniently disappeared a few years ago.
While visiting Rose, her dog Casey leads Sarah and her owner to an abandoned cottage, where they find a lost puppy trapped in the storm cellar. When Sarah rescues the puppy, she also discovers a dead body under a garbage bag off to the side. Police are surprised when they identify the body and the fact that his death is murder. The list of suspects is pretty long since lots of folks harbor ill feelings about the man who stole their savings. The primary suspect, the owner of the property where the body was found, is a senior citizen and friend of Charlotte’s Angels, so they are determined to clear him.
Most folks believe that Stone faked his death when it came out that he was about to be investigated for securities fraud, and his body was never found from the reported fall off a cliff into the water.
The detective firm, consisting of Charlotte, Liz, Rose, and Mr. P, mounts a vigorous search for suspects with not only motive but the ability and opportunity to kill Stone and hide him in the property’s storm cellar. In the meantime, readers catch up with the activities keeping Sarah and Mac busy at Second Chance, Sarah’s repurposing store that turns discarded furniture and other items into sellable goods.
Sofie Ryan’s FUR LOVE OR MONEY, the 11th installment of her "Second Chance Mystery" series, is an exceptionally well-written and devilishly devised mystery. And the interaction between Elvis and the main characters is always a delightful addition to any mystery.
Secondhand shop owner Sarah Grayson and her rescue cat, Elvis, sniff out the suspect in this new, delightful Second Chance Cat Mystery from New York Times bestselling author, Sofie Ryan.
Sarah Grayson is taking a break from her bustling secondhand shop in small-town Maine to spend time with a friend and her dog. But their purr-fect visit comes to an end when the dog leads them to a storm cellar on a nearby property, where they discover a dead body.
The deceased turns out to be a sticky-fingered financial adviser who swindled millions from investors and who has been presumed dead for almost three years. Unfortunately, suspicion falls on the owner of the property where the body was found—and that owner is a good friend of Charlotte’s Angels’, the senior citizen sleuths who work out of Sarah’s shop. It’s all paws on deck, as the Angels are determined to clear his good name. But with a tight-lipped widow, a possibly shifty sister, and a slew of unhappy investors in the mix, the list of murder suspects seems endless. Sarah, Elvis, and the Angels have a lot of webs to untangle before they can catch the culprit.
