Bad Kitty — Elisabeth Crabtree

The hundredth anniversary of the Hatter's Cove Catastrophe Winter Games has just begun and reporter Kat Archer has been ordered to get a heartwarming story of Hatter's Cove residents and their feline companions competing in a quintessential Hatter's Cove tradition.

However, what she actually gets are stories of jealousy, lies, cheating and, by the end of that night, murder.

Almost everyone chalks the death up to a tragic accident caused when the victim tripped over Mrs. Claws, the two-time reigning champion, while descending the stairs.

Kat on the other hand is convinced the woman was murdered and is determined to get an invitation to Canary Island in order to investigate.

She just hopes the Gazette's resident rat catcher can help her score an invitation to the exclusive island before the killer strikes again.
