Lara Caphart has returned to her hometown of Whisker Jog, New Hampshire after sixteen years to reconnect with her estranged Aunt Fran, who's having some difficulty looking after herself-- and her eleven cats. Lara swears one of the cats, a blue-eyed ragdoll, is the reincarnation of her beloved childhood pet, Blue. Fran is being harassed by Theo Barnes, a wealthy builder who has his sights set on Fran's property. When Lara stumbles on his body in Fran's yard, Lara finds herself following the cat's clues in search of a killer. Is Blue's ghost really trying to help her solve a murder, or has Lara inhaled too much catnip?
