Our Review

A retired librarian. A chatty orange cat. A murder in a charming seaside town full of secrets. After being fired from the library, 68-year-old Jim Butterfield decides to retire and move to Oceanview Cove to fulfill his late wife's dream of living near the ocean. But Jim never expects that he will end up in the center of a murder mystery instead of reading about one. On the second day after coming to the town, his neighbor is found dead, and Jim becomes the main suspect. Together with Ginger, a cat with extraordinary sarcastic abilities, Jim must untangle a web of secrets and lies hidden behind Oceanview Cove's colorful facade. Can this duo of amateur sleuths crack the case before Jim becomes the next victim?
