"One of Mystery Tribune's ""15 Best Crime, Mystery, and Thriller Books of December 2020"" ""Filled with crazy cat lady energy."" - Kirkus ""A Whisker of a Doubt is a well-written cozy mystery that brings awareness to a real issue many communities actually deal with: feral cats colonies and how to properly care for and save the cats. Conte puts forth a super entertaining story with an engaging plot, eccentric characters, and fun banter."" - Mystery & Suspense ""The holiday season comes alive in this fourth Cat Café mystery that makes the most of the wintery days before Christmas. The issue of how -- and why -- to manage a feral cat colony is compassionately and objectively examined, realistically tackling its many complications. A rogue Christmas saboteur is thrown into the mix to add motives for murder as well as providing humor."" - Kings River Life ""Fun to read [with] a good message about feral cats."" - Red Carpet Crash"
