How to Wash a Cat

Cats and Curios Mystery, No. 1
by Rebecca M. Hale

A deceased uncle and a surprising inheritance propel a woman and her two curious cats into the mystery surrounding his death. An investigation that starts amid the curios and novelties of a San Francisco antiques shop follows a twisted trail of dangerous deception that leads all the way back to the days of the Gold Rush itself.
