A viral video. A dead influencer. A cat who knows more than he’s letting on.

When a video of Marmalade the cat stealing a croissant goes viral overnight, Elsie Hart’s cozy café is flooded with tourists, reporters, and one very charismatic influencer. But the fame turns deadly when the influencer is found dead in the alley behind the Cosy Cup, and Elsie’s beloved café is at the centre of the storm.

As fake reviews flood in and the online narrative spirals, Elsie must untangle a web of small-town secrets, digital extortion, and a silent partner hiding in plain sight. Her only advantage? Marmalade, whose stubborn fixation on a mysterious crate in the alley might just be the key to everything.

The Funny Cat Caper is the second book in The Marmalade Café Mysteries, a cat-forward cozy mystery series filled with clever clues, small-town charm, and a whiskered detective who always knows when someone’s lying.

Perfect for fans of Miranda James, Cleo Coyle, and anyone who believes cats make the best detectives.
