🎉🐾 Happy Publication Day! 🐾🎉

We’re thrilled to celebrate the release of Six Tails at Midnight, the 15th book in Mandy Morton’s much-loved No. 2 Feline Detective Agency series! What an incredible achievement!

✨ About the book:

Hettie Bagshot and Tilly Jenkins find themselves snowed in on Christmas night when they are visited by five Christmas spirits who threaten to ruin the festivities.

Hettie, Tilly, Bruiser and the Butter sisters set out across the snowy fens to spend Christmas at The Fishgutter’s Arms. Snowed in with no hope of rescue, they find themselves sharing Christmas with some unwanted guests.
Will the ghosts of Christmas Past wreak vengeance on the present? Can our feline detectives dig themselves out of a spooky festive fiasco? And will the sausage rolls and sherry last until midnight?

Jump on board for a cat-a-strophic sleigh ride into a snow drift full of Christmas spirits.

🐱❄️ Grab your copy today and join the No. 2 Feline Detective Agency on their newest festive escapade!
