A sleuthing sheepdog and his team try to solve a riddle in time to save a missing cat. Gertie Rhodes vowed never to adopt another pet. As lonely as life can be for this feisty senior citizen, with crazy treasure hunters ravaging her property it isn’t safe for animals. Equally feisty senior Edna makes such a good case for taking in beautiful blue-eyed feline Fleecy, however, that Gertie decides to risk her heart again. They soon become the purrrfect match. When the two octogenarian rebels attend a prepper convention, someone breaks into Gertie’s home and steals Fleecy. Cat-sitter Ivy Galloway is outraged and determined to right this wrong immediately. Can Keats and Percy help the three women outwit a wily catnapper before this frosty day is done? Or will someone face an unexpected wintry demise? Note: The Cat and the Riddle is a short Bought-the-Farm mystery that takes place between Swine and Punishment and Don’t Rock the Goat. This clean, funny mystery also sets the stage for Tweet Revenge.
