Just read the books.
Meet Marmalade, a saucy orange-and-white tabby cat, and Biscuit McKee, the librarian in Martinsville, Georgia. They find a dead body on the library stairs. . . .
Not quite. I am the one who found the body.
. . . Well, actually, Marmalade is the one who finds it, and the fun begins. No one in this small Georgia town admits to knowing why Harlan Schneider was in the library. Everybody knew him. Everybody liked him. Clues (like the small footprint in the blood) seem to point to someone local, but everyone has an alibi. . . .
They should have asked me - it would have saved them a lot of time and trouble.
. . . Then, when Biscuit’s accident-prone sister visits, pursued by a creepy former-boyfriend, Marmalade sees what’s happening, but her humans just won’t listen to her. So she decides to take matters into her own paws.
And it worked. Sort of . . .
The book takes place over an eight day period in 1996, with flashbacks to the 1995 murder. . . .
And comments by me.
. . . This chatty cat is a good companion, and the book is a good read. You can read a sample of each of the Biscuit McKee books here on my web site.
Orange as Marmalade contains some clues to a mystery that surrounds the 1745 founding of the town. Each book in the Biscuit McKee Mystery Series will add a few more clues, and the 200-year-old puzzle will be finally solved in White as Ice, planned to be the tenth or eleventh . . .
Or fifteenth.
. . . book of the series.
Why did I start the series with Orange?
It was because of me.
Well, Marmalade is orange.
