Book 5, 2016

I spent two evenings reading an ebook novella, Depawsit Slip by Nancy C Davis. It is the first installment in the "Vanessa Abbot" cozy cat mystery series.

Vanessa owns and runs the Cat Protection League, which basically means she's a glorified crazy cat lady. When taking her shop's deposit to the bank one afternoon, she and a group of townsfolk are distracted by an accident outside. Inside, one of the observers drops dead at the others' feet with a knife sticking out of his back. Now that Vanessa is a suspect, she wants to clear her name and figure out who dunnit.
