A Black Cat Bookshop Mystery
BY ALI BRANDON
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The New York Times bestselling author of
Literally Murder returns to Pettistone’s Fine
Books, where the silence of Hamlet the cat speaks volumes
about two mysterious deaths…
It’s almost Fourth of July, and to boost customer traffic in their Brooklyn neighborhood, bookseller Darla Pettistone decides to throw a block party. All the local shop owners are thrilled—except the proprietor of Perky’s Coffee Shop, who thinks Darla is trying to poach his customers by selling her own caffeinated brew in her new bookshop café.
But when Hamlet comes upon the owner’s not-so-perky wife, it’s clear a killer has crashed the party. And when a second local business owner shuffles off this mortal coil—as Hamlet’s namesake would say—Darla and her curious cat must perform some fancy footwork to shine a spotlight on a secret worth killing for…
