A chatty feline and a tragic murder. Can this loyal wife solve a heartbreaking crime?
Maggie Romano happily gave up everything to elope to California with the town heartthrob.

Can she and her new furry friend crack the case before she’s slammed behind bars?

But as she works to stop them, Aly fears that her vision of Tony might not have been a lie so much as a premonition. (Amazon)
