The ghost cat detective

Welcome to MysteryBookCats.com!

Welcome to MysteryBookCats.com! We are the four cats who inspired this site. Our names are Sophie, Hestia, and Chicory and Larkspur. We are very smart and would be great at solving mysteries except for one problem: we are not allowed to go outside. So instead, we help our moms read cat mysteries. Of course, we do this by lying on top of them (to hold them still) and purring (to help them concentrate). We've learned about some great mystery book cats that way, and we think you'll like them too.

Many of the books on this site are available from Powells.com, the Web home of an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon, with lots of used books and a real bookstore cat.
