Welcome to Purrwood Hollow — where the tea is hot, the neighbours are nosy, and the cat has a nose for murder...

In the sleepy English village of Purrwood Hollow, retired museum curator Estelle Bunting was hoping to spend her golden years tending to herbs and rescuing stray cats—not solving locked-room murders in her catnip conservatory.

When charming but secretive benefactor Elliot Brand is found dead among the marigolds during a sunny garden fundraiser, suspicion blooms faster than the foxglove. The conservatory was locked from the inside. There are no wounds. No witnesses. Except one.

Jasper, Estelle’s one-eyed Maine Coon, saw everything—and he’s not exactly talking. But with a twitch of his tail and an uncanny instinct for mischief, Jasper might just lead Estelle to the truth… if she can decipher his clues in time.

Armed with a sharp mind, a sharper pair of secateurs, and the support of gossip-loving friends Hazel and Flora, Estelle sets out to unearth secrets buried in the soil. But every clue she finds seems to grow a dozen more: a poisoned hip flask in the compost, threatening letters in a flowerpot, and a trail of botanical breadcrumbs pointing to a killer hiding in plain sight.

As the garden’s shadows deepen and old rivalries resurface, Estelle must weed through lies, deception, and a very dramatic widow—before another life is lost among the snapdragons.

Filled with charm, humour, quirky characters, and a feline sleuth who steals the show, Murder in the Catnip Conservatory is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Agatha Raisin, and The Thursday Murder Club.

Curl up with a warm cup of tea and follow Jasper’s whiskers—you never know what secrets are growing in Purrwood Hollow...
