Shimmerfield, the village on the coast of Maine

“I’m hungry as a church mouse, Hope. Do you have anything to eat?

Hope looked down at His Whiskery Lordship swishing his black tail back and forth at her. He’d tucked a blue paper napkin into his collar. “When did you wake up?” she asked.”
― Lyn Key, Nozy Cat 2: A Hope Jones Cozy Mystery
