Aces and Eights: Cats 'n' Cocktails Mystery Series
Book Five in the Cats 'n' Cocktails Mystery Series: Aces and Eights:
Part One: It’s ten years later, and Anya’s life is about to change in a big way. The past resurfaces, and there is a reason for hope, but Ching has his own agenda. He’s hot on the trail of drug traffickers, and this time Anya is well in tune with his otherworldly premonstrations.
Part Two: The rightful heir to The Notah Ranch at Big Timber, formerly The Hart Ranch, has stepped forward to file a claim, and Ethan fears he will lose the ranch. Anya calls in the big guns to assist, her friend and lawyer, Beau Nithercott, and of course, Ching. Following another disastrous turn of events, Anya discovers that Nigel has been keeping secrets.
Cats ’n’ Cocktails, formerly McClean’s Pub, is a cat rescue bar and grill owned and operated by Anya McClean. Her sidekick, a cat named Ching—once the beloved pet of a fortune teller— possesses his own supernatural gifts when it comes to exposing unscrupulous characters. Anya’s growing frustration with the incorrigible cat quickly turns to awe when she realizes his misconduct is purpose driven. Using tarot cards, rune tiles, and wildly overt acts of feline impropriety, Ching leaves a trail of clues that foretell the future, unveil hidden motives, and lead to arrests.
The Cats ’n’ Cocktails Mystery Series is a brand new cozy mystery series set against the backdrop of the tiny northern tourist town of Four Oaks where visitors are drawn to Main Street’s collection of fascinating shops and quirky on-theme restaurants—PERFECT for fans of KoKo and Yum Yum in The Cat Who Mystery Series or Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown!
Readers can expect intriguing mysteries with cleverly devised clues, a dynamic romantic subplot with shocking twists and reversals of fortune, the humorous antics always associated with cat behavior, curious characters, suspicious misdeeds, tarot, the supernatural, murder, mystery, fortune hunters, a notorious art gallery, Christmas trains bound for New Orleans, suicidal mystery writers, greed, betrayal, thievery, revenge, pirate lore, wise-guys, horse-racing, drug traffickers, a magnificent ranch where wild horses graze, the Lakota tribe, seasonal festivals, holidays, a haunted inn, family, loyalty, legacies, death, and resurrection.
The original six book collection was five years in the making. It was professionally edited - though you will find mistakes— I’m sure. It is an ongoing project with many more titles currently in development. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading the Cats ’n’ Cocktails Mystery books as much as I enjoyed creating them.

A few surprises
A good job with the part one and part two for this one. Ethan has never been my favorite of the characters but the author did a great job with his part in the plot. Loved the ending!
