Welcome to the town of Maplewood, where the inn is cozy, the gossip is juicy, and murder is afoot . . .

Emily Hartley loves her life as the owner of the Sunny Side Inn, a charming bed and breakfast nestled in the heart of Maplewood. But when a bizarre . . . and possibly hilarious . . . accident with a waffle iron leaves her with the ability to talk to her cat, Mr. Whiskers, her quiet life takes a turn for the mysterious.

The drama unfolds when a renowned violinist checks into the inn, only to be found dead the next morning, her priceless violin missing. The police rule it as a natural death and a case of theft, but Emily and Mr. Whiskers suspect foul play.

From nosy guests to town gossip, Emily must sift through the clues, all while managing her bossy sister Rebecca, who's taken over the inn in her absence. With a music festival on the horizon and a killer possibly on the loose, Emily must solve the case before the final note is played.
