Praise for Mew is for Murder... "[A] mysterious maze with murder at the center." -Kirkus Reviews "A witty, engaging, and compelling first mystery that's more quirky than cozy, full of tasty characters and local color." -Sparkle Hayter author of the Robin Hudson mysteries Theda Krakow is in a funk. Her sometime boyfriend is gone, her beloved cat has died, and the career leap she's made from copy editor to freelance writer has left her finances-and her spirit-flat. She desperately needs a headline. One day, strolling in her Cambridge neighborhood, Theda spies an adorable stray kitten who leads her to an old woman holed up in a decrepit house full of cats. Could this be the story to catapult Theda out of the dumps? Or bury her deeper into something more sinister? A recovering journalist, Clea Simon is the author of 12 mysteries and three nonfiction books. Mew is for Murder is first in her Theda Krakow mystery series. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband Jon and their cat Musetta. www.CleaSimon.com
