The Cats that Broke the Spell (The Cats that . . . Cozy Mystery) (Volume 8)

When a beautiful professor is accused of being a witch, she retreats to her cabin in the woods. Soon a man dressed like a scarecrow begins to stalk her, and vandals leave pentagrams at her front gate. The town of Erie, Indiana has never known a witch hunt, but after the first accusation, the news spreads like wildfire. “She stole another woman’s husband, then murdered him,” people raged in the local diner. “She uses her black cats to cast spells to do her evil deeds!” But what do the accusers really want? How is Erie’s crime boss involved? In the meantime, while the pink mansion’s attic is being remodeled, Katz, Jake and their seven cats move out to a rural farmhouse, which is next door to the “witch.” They find themselves drawn into a deadly conflict on several fronts. It’s up to seven extraordinary felines to unravel the tangle of lies before mass hysteria wrecks the town. Murder, mayhem, and a cold case make this book a thrilling, action-packed read that will keep you guessing until the very end.
