Sheila hasn't even unpacked yet at a new beachfront cottage when her neighbor is killed. With the police looking at her as the murder suspect, it's up to her cat, Whiskers, to find the real killer. Can he use his detective skills, and his new animal friends, to save Sheila and start a new life in Paradise Cove?
"A well written and clever mystery series with lots of heart."
Sheila and Whiskers have retired to the beach after her detective husband passed away. Fred was a great husband and father, but he was also a mentor and Whiskers is now a fully trained detective. He even has a badge on his pet collar to prove it. Unfortunately, nobody takes him seriously. That includes Kojak, a dog who is an official K-9 officer.
Paradise Cove is a quaint small town on Florida's Gulf Coast. Live Oaks, Spanish Moss, and beautiful flowers line the well-maintained streets. The beach is never crowded, sea oats sway in the ocean breeze, and the sunsets are beyond amazing.
Even a cute beach cottage can get lonely without friends. Sheila and Whiskers are both welcomed by some quirky characters who will prove themselves as loyal friends, helping to clear Sheila's name.

Throughout a 35 year career as a radio and television personality, Chris was honored more than a dozen times by the Alabama Broadcasters Association with awards for best radio personality, morning show, radio station, public service and more.
