About This Book

My crazy old Nan loves making decisions on a whim. Last week, she took up flamenco dancing. This week, shes adopted a trouble-making Chihuahua named Paisley. This wouldnt be much of a problem were it not for the very crabby tabby who also lives with us.

Man, I never thought Id miss hearing Octo-Cats voice, but his silent protest is becoming too much to bear, especially since we just opened our new P.I. business together.

Things go from bad to worse, of course, when Nan and I discover that someone has been embezzling funds from the local animal shelter. If we cant find the culprit soon, the shelter may not be able to keep its lights on and those poor homeless pets wont have anywhere to go.

Okay, so I just need to find the thief, rescue the animals, and save the dayall while trying to find a way for Octo-Cat and Paisley to set aside their differences and work together as a team. Yeah, wish me luck

Molly Fitz

To anyone who wishes she could talk to her animal best friend

Well, whats stopping you?

Chapter One

Hi, Im Angie Russo, and this last year has been quite the wild ride for me. Yes, its been exactly one year since my entire life changed for the better.

Sure, Ive come face-to-face with a lot of dangerous characters latelymurderers, kidnappers, creeps, you name itbut I wouldnt trade my life for anyone elses.

Heres the deal It all started at my former job as a paralegal.

A wealthy old woman had just died, and her heirs had gathered at our office for the official will reading. I was instructed to make coffee, and, well, that was the last time I ever attempted such a dangerous feat.

You see, I got electrocuted and knocked unconscious. I woke up with a wicked fear of coffee makersoh, and also the ability to talk to animals. At first, I could only talk to this one cat named Octavius Maxwell Ricardo Edmund Frederick Fulton. He was one of the primary beneficiaries of his late owners estate, and I now call him Octo-Cat for short.

Long story short, he told me the old lady was murdered and begged me to help him catch the killer. We did, and we pretty much became best friends in the process. Now he lives with me, and I oversee his care and also his generous trust fund.

And because I accidentally made an open-ended deal with him when I needed to get him to wear a pet harness, we now reside in his former owners exquisite manor house. Yes, a ten-dollar neon green harness ended up costing me a cool million.

At least most of the money was my cats, anyway.

Yeah. A lot has happened over the last year. My cat and I solved three more murders together. He got catnapped. I finally quit my paralegal job so we could open up a private investigation firm together, and oh, yeah I got a boyfriend!

My nan might be even more excited about that one than I am. Shed been trying to matchmake me for years, and now that shes finally succeeded, shes not quite sure what to do with herself.

Yes, she continues to bake up a storm in the kitchen and take her community art classes, but lately shes also been flipping through new hobbies like theyre going out of style. Theres been flamenco dancing, learning Korean as a second language, even Pokmon Go. She claims Pikachu understands her on a spiritual level. Personally, I dont get it.

My mom and dad are busy with their jobs as Blueberry Bays local news anchor and designated sports guy. Nan and I have them over once per week for a nice home-cooked meal. Did I mention my grandmother and I live together?

Its not weird. Shes not just the woman who raised me, but shes also my best friend and the most amazing person I know. She even helps with Octo-Cats lavish demands and rigorous schedule.

And between the two of us, we keep him dining on only the seafood flavors of Fancy Feast and drinking Evian from his favorite Lenox teacup.

Most recently, hes demanded a brand-new iPad Pro. His reasoning? That he needed a professional upgrade to go along with our new business venture. Never mind that he uses his tablet primarily to play various fish tank and koi pond games.

Hes given his old device to the president of his fan club, a raccoon who lives under our front porch. His name is Pringle, and hes a pretty all right guy most of the time. Octo-Cat definitely enjoys having a fanboy to support every single decision he makes, including his regular criticism of me.
