Meow If It’s Murder (Nick and Nora, Bk 1)
by T.C LoTempio
Nora Charles doesn’t believe in fate, even if she is a crime reporter who shares a name with a character from The Thin Man. In fact, she’s moving back to Cruz, California, to have a quieter life. But after finding an online magazine eager for material, and a stray cat named Nick with a talent for detection, Nora’s not just reporting crimes again. She’s uncovering them…
Back in her hometown, Nora reconnects with old friends and makes some new ones, like Nick, the charming feline who seems determined to be her cat. But not everything about Cruz is friendly. Writing for a local online magazine, Nora investigates the curious death of socialite Lola Grainger. Though it was deemed an accident, Nora suspects foul play. And it seems that her cat does too.
Apparently, Nick used to belong to a P.I. who disappeared while investigating Lola Grainger’s death. The coincidence is spooky, but not as spooky as the clues Nick spells out for her with Scrabble letters—clues that lead her down an increasingly dangerous path. Whether fate put her on this case or not, solving it will take all of Nora’s wits, and maybe a few of Nick’s nine lives.

Sounds like a fun and cozy mystery!
I absolutely LOVE cozy mysteries! Thank you for the opportunity to win one.

Would be nice to get a cozy murder mystery in the mail!
Best of luck everyone!
Can’t wait to read this one!
Please! 🙂
My wife would just love this book because it has cats and is a cozy mystery.
Cute idea–cozy mysteries can be a lot of fun to read!
Have fostered hundreds of cats……be nice to read about cats and not have to change the litterboxes!!
Looks like a cute book!
We have inside dogs and outside cats. I think authors who can write from the pet’s point of view are so talented
I envy them.
I am currently reading the Bernie and Chet series by Spencer Quinn and enjoy it tremendously. If this series is half as clever, I know I’ll enjoy it.
Sounds fun!
Mysteries are so hard to put down!
OK, have never done this before..but always up for something new, especially
at SWAP!! Book looks really great and I love mystery sleuth with animals,
especially Bernie and Chet. Love my SWAP!!
Don’t have much luck winning things, but am always up for a cat cozy.
May luck be with me. I have always loved mysteries, but surprised myself at how much I enjoy the “cozy” mysteries. This would be a fun read.
Don’t know the author, but it sounds like a fun read. Got good reviews on Amazon too.
It’s new to me, too. Looks appealing.
I’m not familiar with this author, but always on the lookout for a great book and this one is right down my alley!! Can’t wait to win!! If not, then I’ll put it on my wish list.
I love this book site!!!
Looks like a cute cozy mystery series!
I am pretty sure the original Nick Charles probably had nine lives…. maybe he has come back as a cat…. I hope it is as entertaining the witty as the original
I love a good mystery as much as the next guy, but I make it a policy never to read books with cats on the cover art. My wife would like it though!!!!
Yay, a cat mystery!
Mystery books (Nancy Drew) were a major part of my childhood.
Definitely intriguing! I am interested in reading!
Sounds a bit like the Rita Mae Brown series–I’d love to try one.
Love the Thin Man movies. Would like to see what other parts of the movies served as inspiration.
I would love to get a copy of the books. I love cat sleuths.
Would love to read this!
Always enjoy a good cozy mystery! Of course, cats are a bonus!
I love a good cozy mystery especially if it has an animal in it! I’d love to win 🙂
I’m always looking for a new author. This one sounds interesting to read. A cat spelling out clues with Scrabble letters caught my attention.
Always love a crime mystery. Maybe my three feline can help me solve it before the end of the book.
I’m always interested in trying new authors & this sounds like something I’d enjoy.
I would love this book! Am I too late?
