Things have been quiet in the coastal town of North Harbor, Maine, since Sarah Grayson and her rescue cat, Elvis, solved their first murder. Sarah is happy running Second Chance, the shop where she sells lovingly refurbished and repurposed items. But then she gets dragged into a controversy over developing the waterfront. Most of the residents—including Sarah—are for it, but there is one holdout—baker Lily Carter.
So when Lily is found murdered in her bakery, it looks like somebody wanted to remove the only obstacle to the development. But Sarah soon discovers that nothing is as simple as it seems. Now, with the help of her cat’s uncanny ability to detect a lie, Sarah is narrowing down the suspects. But can she collar the culprit before the ruthless killer pounces again?

Jennifer’s Review of Buy A Whisker
Review (4 Stars): Readers are in for a real treat with Buy A Whisker. Sarah finds herself in the middle of a community dispute over whether the waterfront should be developed and help bring more tourists to the lovely town of North Harbor. Everyone in town seems to be for the proposed plan except local baker, Lily Carter and she refuses to sell her business for the waterfront development. Soon, Lily is found murdered in her bakery and now Sarah and her trusty feline sidekick, Elvis, must find a killer before they decide to take another victim to get keep this project going.
I love little Elvis and he can tell when people are lying which has come in handy in helping Sarah find a killer in the past. This cat is so adorable and has definitely become one of my favorite characters in the series. Buy A Whisker is a cute, charming mystery that will have you wanting to spend more time with this spunky crime-fighting duo. The mystery was intriguing with several plot twists and the right amount of humor to make the pages just fly by. Looking forward to reading the next mystery, A Whisker of Trouble, which is due out next year.
