The Cat Who Sniffed Glue
Book 8 of the The Cat Who series
A burst of vandalism unsettles Pickax before a prominent couple is found murdered in their home. Qwilleran examines youthful rebellion, family tensions, and community resentments while resisting easy assumptions about who is responsible. Koko develops an alarming interest in licking glue from stamps and envelopes, behavior that eventually points toward communication and motive. Brisk and comfortably eccentric, this mystery suits readers who enjoy small-town crime, suspicious correspondence, mischievous cats, and investigations where apparently unrelated acts of damage reveal a more deliberate pattern.
