Claws of Death is the second installment in the Cat Lady Mysteries series set in the small town of Whisker Jog, New Hampshire and featuring cat shelter owners Lara Caphart and her Aunt Fran. The High Cliff Shelter for Cats is up and running and they are delighted when actress Deanna Daltry returns to her home town and adopts the two adorable kittens, Doodle and Noodle.

Someone isn't happy that Deanna is back in town and it's not long before the actress finds herself the victim of a few nasty pranks including worms in her handbag and lipstick messages scrawled on her windshield. Panicked that she is being stalked, Deanna invites Lara over to the mansion to see the kitties in their new environment and a quick glance out the window to admire the view reveals a dead body in the garden.

Lara wants to be sure that the kitties are in a safe house, so she sets out to track down a killer and find Deanna's tormentor. With the help of her beautiful ragdoll, Blue (who nobody else can see) Lara not only solves a crime but places several cats in the perfect new homes.

A likable cast of characters and cats, a touch of romance and a well plotted mystery make this addition to the series a hit. The recipe for Blueberry Buckle mouthwatering delicious.
