When the body of the most popular author at a literary festival, Sir Downton Tabby, is found in a secluded part of the grounds, Hettie and her faithful sidekick Tilly are plunged into crisis as a serial killer stalks the festival. 

The town is celebrating its first literary festival, and The No. 2 Feline Detective Agency has been hired to oversee security.

When the body of the most popular author, Sir Downton Tabby, is found in a secluded part of the grounds, however, Hettie and her faithful sidekick Tilly are plunged into crisis as a serial killer stalks the festival.

As the duo turn their attention to investigating the death of Downton Tabby, will there be an author left standing? Will Meridian Hambone sell out of her ‘Littertray' t-shirts? And will there be enough crime teas to go around?
