Nothing bad ever happens in Ponderosa Pines
At least, that’s what anonymous gossip columnist Chloe LaRue and her best friend, town matriarch EV Torrence thought—until a resident of their sleepy little village turns up dead. When EV becomes suspect #1, even Chloe can’t stop the rumor mill from churning.
Against Detective Nate Harper and Deputy Dalton Burnsoll’s orders, Chloe and EV mount their … Chloe and EV mount their own investigation—but what they uncover might just rock the community to its very core. Could one of their own beloved citizens really be a killer?
Clean read: no graphic violence or sex.

Fun book!
Enjoyed every minute of this story. It has some light moments like when they figure out who killed Luther.
New to the Ponderosa Pines Cozy Mystery Series, I thoroughly enjoyed reading A CAT KILLED A RAT. Just the right amount of tension between gossip columnist Chloe LaRue and Detective Nate Harper. And what about the love interest between EV and Deputy Dalton Burnsoll? I’m definitely going to read the next book, “Crafting Disorder,” to find out what happens!
Thoroughly enjoyable read. Good cozy.
A fun mystery. Didn’t know the murderer until the end.
Great beach or fireside read. Very entertaining, with laugh out loud moments, and an unexpected ending. Looking forward to the next book.
Loved it. Hard to put down.
Wonderful cozy mystery. Characters are of today’s times. A little humor and sleuthing amongst friends. Thoroughly enjoyed uncovering clues with them.
I enjoyed the main characters and the “different” setting of this communal town. I di have to reread a few sentences because her wording is a little different sometimes. Overall, will read the rest of her books!
still wondering, Why this all got started. Main trouble maker seems to be a little short of a bunch and cannot get over his perception of how his life would have been better if he went on with life.
Nice book to curl up with on a snowy day.
I love the cat in this story.
I figured out the ending less than half way through the book. I was bored just trying to get to the end.
If you like a story line that is easy to follow, don’t want to have to rack your brain (after a hard day at work), to read something difficult, want a something “amusing”, that brings a smile to your face or even a chuckle or two, then this read is for you!
Fun read! Kept me guessing till the end!
Love it
This was pretty good.
a lot of twists and turns. Just when you thought you knew who the murderer was, everything changed.
Cute enough.
Too many characters not focused on the murder, inadequate crime-solving by lead character, no cat, unsatisfying resolution.
