About this item
Rory Roberts is happy with her quiet life. She's single, forty-something, and lives in the sleepy town of Brooksford, MD, population 227, where the latest excitement is the debate over speed bumps. With a cozy cottage to call home and her lifelong best friend right next door, what more could she want or need? Certainly not a cat. But she becomes intrigued with the fluffy-tailed calico she meets at a neighbor's house and agrees to take the cat home, just to see how it goes. In short order, the calico, whom she names Miss Cuddlywumps (a.k.a. Miss C) , has taken over Rory's life and Rory begins to fear she is becoming one of those "cat people." Miss C, though, is no average cat: She is a classically educated feline who can quote ancient texts and solve mysteries.
