Catnap: A Cozy Mystery at a Cat Cafe

Every morning at Curl and Cup begins the same way: fresh scones in the oven, espresso warming behind the counter, and twelve rescue cats making themselves at home among the cozy chairs and bookshelves. For café owner Olivia, the familiar rhythm of her cat café is a comfort — until one of her most loyal regulars, Edgar Pruitt, dies quietly in his favorite chair with a teacup beside him and Olivia’s instincts telling her something is terribly wrong.

Edgar was a man of habits, and Olivia knows those habits by heart. So when one small detail doesn’t fit — followed by another, and another — she starts to suspect that Edgar’s death was no natural tragedy. With the help of sharp-eyed barista June, a grieving widow, and a watchful orange tabby named Marmalade, Olivia begins untangling a trail of lies that leads far beyond the cozy walls of her café.

Set in a charming cat café filled with rescue cats, warm pastries, and neighborhood regulars, Catnap is a cozy mystery full of heart, atmosphere, and quiet suspense. Perfect for readers who love clever amateur sleuths, close-knit communities, feline companions, and murder mysteries where the smallest detail can crack the case wide open.
