I always dreamed of being a part of my favorite show, Parking Lot Potluck, but I never expected them to ask me to help solve a murder.
Someone poisoned a dish on the popular cooking competition show. The host is dead and my favorite judge is in critical condition. The only one who witnessed the crime was Great Dane, Chloe.
Persephone and I are off to Seattle to solve the crime, but things are much different behind the scenes. Have the cast and crew been working on a recipe for deception, or was it a contestant with a case of sour grapes who’s brought production to a halt?
And Chloe isn’t talking to my talking cat.
Whatever I do, I have to keep my inner fangirl in check, or my favorite show could get eliminated for good.
Hi, my name’s Persephone. I’m a black cat with white legs. My old owner, Margaret, used to call me Purry Pants. I didn’t like the nickname, but I did like Margaret.
I met Addie when I got catnapped after an art heist Margaret’s art gallery. Someone taped me into a cardboard box, and left me at Addie’s shelter. Imagine my surprise when she could understand me! I didn’t think humans could understand cats. When I told her what happened, we worked together to find the stolen painting. Margaret thought I should stay with Addie, and we found a cat at the shelter that was perfect for her.
There’s really no such thing as a typical day with Addie. If we’re working at Helping Paws, I talk to the shelter animals and find out if they’re happy or if there’s anything they need. Human makes appointments to meet me, and then I tell Addie which of our animals would be best for them to adopt.
If we’re working on a case, we travel to new places. Addie talks to the people involved with the case, and I talk to the animals who saw what happened. Sometimes, they’re afraid to talk to me because they’re protecting their human. I try to pick up on scents too. Sometimes those help Addie find the bad guy.
Working with Addie is fun. We get to help animals find their homes, and people find their stuff.
In Parking Lot Potluck, someone got murdered on Addie’s favorite TV show, and we’re going inside the TV to help find out who did it. Addie says we’re not actually going inside the TV, we’re headed to Seattle, but I still don’t quite understand how the show gets in the TV. I need to talk to a Great Dane named Chloe who saw the crime, but the problem is, Chloe doesn’t like cats. So I’m worried I might not be able to help Addie this time.
