Charming, heartwarming cozy mystery novella from award-winning author Kira Seamon. Heather Moore has just picked a huge basket of her own peaches for neighbor Graham Barclay, but when she walks over to deliver them to him, she walks into a crime scene! When Charlotte, Graham's stunning white Persian indoor cat suddenly leaps into her arms from the bushes, she knows something is very wrong... dead wrong! Just as she's puzzling all this out, Graham's granddaughter, Madeleine, pulls up lame in his driveway - with a car that has overheated and won't drive any further.

While breaking the news to Madeleine about her grandfather's death, Heather gets drawn into the Barclay family secrets and nothing is as it appears. Madeleine is going into hiding and needs a secluded place to stay. Heather has just the place for her. Meanwhile, other townspeople keep coming up to her with more and more suspicious news about that family and Heather decides that she better start an investigation of her own. Graham's cookie empire looks like it's crumbling to pieces as it is attacked from all sides... and even worse... it seems that he may have taken his famous cookie recipe to the grave with him! Can Heather chip away at the evidence and milk her sources to save the day? Suspects are lining up in her mind and she knows someone will be caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Become charmed by the cute pets in this story, including Blossom, Heather's loyal and adorable pug dog, and Charlotte, the Barclay family's brave cat. Smile as Heather finds one creative way after another to keep ahead of all the incoming news as she pieces together what happened and finds justice for Madeleine.
