Nominated for a Lefty Award!Mimi Lee is in over her head. There's her new Los Angeles pet grooming shop to run, her matchmaking mother to thwart, her talking cat Marshmallow to tend to—oh, and the murder of a local breeder to solve...now if only Mimi hadn't landed herself on top of the suspect list. Mimi Lee hoped to give Los Angeles animal lovers something to talk about with her pet grooming shop, Hollywoof. She never imagined that the first cat she said hello to would talk back or be quite so, well, catty—especially about those disastrous dates Mimi's mother keeps setting up. When Marshmallow exposes local breeder Russ Nolan for mistreating Chihuahuas, Mimi steals some of her cat's attitude to tell Russ off. The next day the police show up at Hollywoof. Russ has been found dead, and Mimi's shouting match with him has secured her top billing as the main suspect. Hoping to clear her name and save the pups Russ left behind, Mimi enlists help from her dreamy lawyer neighbor Josh. But even with Josh on board, it'll take Mimi and Marshmallow a lot of sleuthing and more than a little sass to get back to the pet-grooming life—and off the murder scene."This fast-paced, light and fun read features Malaysian-Chinese food, a fun loving family, lots of animals and a solid mystery that will be a challenge to figure out – my kind of mystery!" -Esme Addison, author of A Spell for Trouble

"BOOK REVIEW!
This book gets: 4.0 Bookmarks out of 5
This book has:
1. A talking, mystery solving cat named Marshmallow
2. I love a good Cozy Mystery and this one does not disappoint. We follow Mimi Lee as she opens a pet grooming shop called Hollywoof
3. Lots of animals and interesting quirky characters who you can’t help but root for.
4. Solid mystery could have been any one of the suspects.
5. Mimi has a very strong connection to her family and it’s nice change of pace.
Not much not to like so I’ll fill you in on a few things to be aware of:
1. It’s a series of books so if ya don’t want to get sucked in don’t read it
2. I listened to this book on Audible. The narrators voice got a 3 out of 5 microphones from me. It’s annoying at times and I didn’t like her voice for men.
3. They do talk about animal cruelty but don’t get graphic about it but if it’s a rough topic for you just a heads up"

"Very good plot, and gets into a crime like drama. There’s a little romance but not to much. But over all I enjoyed this book and is most likely to read it again."
