    After being left at the altar, Ivy Amanda McTeague Preston uproots herself and her cat, an Egyptian Mau named Memnet, from her boring and lonely life to start over at the urging of Mayor Conklin, a fellow pedigreed Mau owner.
    Ready to move in a fresh direction, Adam Thompson, accepts the mayor’s invitation  and uproots himself and his beloved Mau, Isis, to open a branch of his trendy bookstore and coffee shop in the small town. 
    When Ivy takes a mysterious message while the mayor is away on business, only her criminology professor mom and Adam believe there’s something rotten in Apple Grove. Then Ivy discovers the community grant money that Adam was allotted to start the store is mysteriously being siphoned off, a dead body surfaces, and the victim’s missing Mau becomes the primary suspect. . .just another day in Ivy’s far-from-boring new life.
    In love with Apple Grove and with Adam, Ivy hopes to carry on their romance while saving the town from further mayhem.
