A psychological crime thriller set on the Mediterranean island of Gozo, told through the eyes of a cat who discovers a dead body during a luxury holiday. What should have been a peaceful escape becomes a disturbing murder investigation.
I went on holiday expecting peace and quiet. Instead, I found a dead woman behind a locked door.
I’ve helped solve murders before.
So when Jane decides to reward herself with a relaxing holiday in Gozo, I’m expecting peace, quiet… and uninterrupted naps.
Instead, she brings Timon.
And his dog.
Now the humans are arguing, the dog is insufferable, and I’m one moment away from committing a crime of my own.
So I do what any sensible cat would do—I escape.
That’s when I find her.
A frightened cat trapped inside a hotel room… with the body of her dead owner.
Now I have no choice but to drag Jane into another investigation. But as we start digging, the truth becomes far more complicated than I expected.
Is it connected to the neighbour who despises cats?
Or does Timon know more than he’s letting on?
Because someone is hiding something.
And this time… it’s closer than ever.
Purr-fect Secrets is the third book in J.S. Ellis’s Theodore: The Neighbour’s Cat series. Combining a dark island murder mystery, psychological suspense and an unconventional feline narrator, this atmospheric crime thriller offers twists, deception and a touch of Theodore’s dry wit.
