Description

Valentine's, a day for romance and . . . murder?

Cherry Hills animal lover Imogene Little would like nothing more than to spend Valentine's Day at home with only her cat Cleopatra for company. Instead, she finds herself on a double date at the urging of her good friend Kenny Davenport. But even Kenny can't guess just how disastrous this evening is about to become.

Things first turn awkward when their restaurant server turns out to be Imogene's date's ex-girlfriend. But is their waitress to blame when Imogene's date collapses from an allergic reaction? Or is the unfortunate incident merely a tragic accident?

Before the night ends, Imogene is determined to uncover what really happened. And then the amateur sleuth might just swear off love forever.

This holiday short story is meant to be a shorter peek into the world of Cherry Hills, Washington, and the Cozy Cat Caper Mystery series. It was previously published as part of the Festive Mayhem 4 anthology.
