Did the professor get what he deserved, or is murder on the prowl in small-town California?
As a late-summer heat wave scorches the sleepy town of Citrus Grove, the suspicious death of a notoriously unpopular professor puts Rebecca and her talking cat, Aneksi, hot on the trail of another cursed artifact and a killer.
Police Detective Nick Devon, her dashing new flame, is following the rulebook in his investigation, but the Cuthbert Exotic Antiques manager is trusting her instincts as she follows the clues. With her grandfather distracted by an unexpected visitor—who may not be what he seems—and Aneksi rekindling a bond with a long-lost sibling, Rebecca knows she’s on her own to search for the ancient scepter that may hold the key to the dead professor’s medical miracle…and the reason behind his demise.
In this twisty tale of hidden motives, intensifying danger, and a dash of magic, Rebecca must rely on her wits—and, hopefully, Aneksi’s sharp claws—to solve the case before she becomes the cunning murderer’s next victim.
My Review:
Purr-fectly entertaining.
I really enjoyed this book. As with the other books in this series, I just couldn’t get enough of Rebecca, Aneski, and Stirling as they search for another murderer in Citrus Grove. We are also introduced to new characters in this story, Phineas, Stirling’s cousin, and Khepeset, Aneksi’s sister, who also has magical powers. They both pay important roles in this story helping to find the murderer. There were a lot of twists to this story that made it harder for me to figure out who was the killer. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.
