The Mystery of the Golden Cat: A 1900s Cozy Mystery (Adele Gossling Mysteries: Book 4)
About this ebook
Will a thief ruin Labor Day for the whole town of Arrojo?
For Adele Gossling, Labor Day is about giving voice to progressive reforms such as the eight-hour work day and minimum wage for women. But for business owners in Arrojo, California, Labor Day is about making money. City slickers flock to the country seeking holiday deals they can’t get in San Francisco or Sacramento. What better way to celebrate than with bargains and the community picnic?
What they don’t know is there’s a thief in town. He’s already succeeded in getting away with burglarizing business owners in neighboring cities, and the county police can’t seem to get their hands on him.
Who is stealing gold trinkets from the shops in Arrojo, California? Is it the dandified Mr. Lyman? The town’s junk collector and pariah, Zephyr Brown? or is it someone or something beyond their wildest imagination?
Follow the adventures of epistolary expert and suffragist Adele Gossling and her aura-seeing friend Nin Branch as they embark on an adventure to catch a thief and his unique accomplice.
Pick up this fourth book of the mysteries reviewers have praised as a “great new series” where “characters come alive”.

About the author
Writing has been Tam May’s voice since the age of fourteen. She writes stories about powerful women set in the past. Her fiction gives readers a sense of justice for women, both the living and the dead. Tam's stories are set mostly around the Bay Area because she adores sourdough bread, Ghirardelli chocolate, and San Francisco history.
Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries which take place in the early 20th century and feature sassy suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn’t sit well with the ideas of some people around her about women’s place. The first book of the series reached #1 in its category on both Amazon and Apple and went into the Top 100 Kindle Free Books list on Amazon for the entire store.
Tam has also written historical fiction about women defying the confinements of their era. Her post-World War II short story collection, Lessons From My Mother’s Life, debuted at #1 in its category on Amazon, and the first book of her Gilded Age family saga, the Waxwood Series continues to remain in the top 10 in its category.
Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in the Midwest because it’s cheaper. When she’s not writing, she’s devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music) and concocting yummy vegan dishes.
