Book I: A Bump in the Road
Certainly not a cat.
But she becomes intrigued with the fluffy-tailed calico she
meets at a neighbor’s house and agrees to take the cat home, just to see how it
goes. In short order, the calico, whom she names Miss Cuddlywumps (a.k.a. Miss
C), has taken over Rory’s life and Rory begins to fear she is becoming one of
those “cat people.”
Miss C, though, is no average cat: She is a classically
educated feline who can quote ancient texts and
solve mysteries. When she witnesses the violent murder of a speed-bump advocate
outside Rory’s front door, Miss C must use all of her education and wits to
identify the killer before her new person becomes the next victim.

Book II: The Ides of October
Rory Roberts has problems. Her restless nights are filled
with nightmares as she prepares to testify at the trial of the man who tried to
murder her. She’s lost a good friend in her town’s mayor, who just happens to
be married to that man who tried to murder her. Everyone seems to think she’s
“getting friendly with the sheriff,” which is more fantasy than truth.
And now someone is sending letters threatening her and her
cat.
U and ur dum cat
better shut up or DIE!, the first letter reads. Rory wants to think it’s a
joke, but her cat, a fluffy-tailed calico she calls Miss Cuddlywumps (a.k.a.
Miss C), knows better. Fortunately for them both, Miss C is a classically
educated feline who is also well versed in mysteries. Rory tries to play
detective as the threats escalate, but once again, it is mostly up to Miss C to
sort through the suspects and identify the one person with wicked intent …
hopefully before anything truly devastating happens.

Book III: Siren Song
A joyous New Year’s Eve in Historic
Brooksford, Maryland, ends in tragedy when fireworks give way to murder during
the tiny town’s inaugural First Night celebration, and once again Rory Roberts
and her cat are right at the center of it all. This time, though, Rory is more
in the center than she’s ever been, as she finds herself caught between her new
boyfriend (who happens to be the county sheriff) and the prime suspect (who
happens to be her neighbor and lifelong best friend). She may not want to
choose sides, but friendship trumps romance as Rory is so sure her nice-guy
best buddy could not have committed such a vicious crime. But will her loyalty
leave her on the wrong side—and alone?
Meanwhile, Rory’s fluffy-tailed
calico, Miss Cuddlywumps, is loyal only to the truth and to crime solving. A
classically educated feline who is also well versed in mysteries, Miss C considers
the slate of rather obvious suspects while trying to lead Rory in the right
direction—hardly an easy task. As the cat sees it, she has only to follow the
clues and her instincts to identify the killer, but as she soon learns, sometimes instincts can be wrong.

Book IV: Night of the Furies
The tiny village
of Brooksford, Maryland, doesn’t seem to be the sort of place where everyone
has a skeleton in their backyard, but that is almost exactly what is discovered
when an archaeology project brings to light one set of remains after another.
And these are not just any remains: they are bodies buried in a way that makes
modern residents wonder—and fear—what happened to their ancestors two centuries
ago. When the dig’s director is found dead—apparently murdered—more questions
arise … such as, who hated him enough to plunge a trowel into his heart?
Rory Roberts and
her cat, Miss Cuddlywumps (a.k.a. Miss C) are there once again to sort out the
clues, this time with the help of an unwanted houseguest. As Rory bumbles about
in her usual random way, Miss C puts her classical education to work to narrow
down a list of suspects and systematically investigate them. Clearly, the
modern murder is the work of a Fury, one of those horrible goddesses of the
underworld who come to pursue the wicked. But which of the likely suspects was
furious enough to be the guilty Fury? And what might the mysterious deaths in
the town’s distant past mean for its future?
