The Case of the Sphinx Secret - Zara Whispers's Pet Psychic Mysteries, #2

Zara Whispers is no longer just a pet sitter; she's the magical community's official liaison to the animal world. But her new status comes with a terrifying cost: higher stakes and no room for error.

Hired to care for the Sphynx Cat of a recently murdered young witch, Zara finds herself deep inside protected Fae territory, a world ruled by suspicion and ancient law. The Cat, secretive and fiercely protective of a Fae path, refuses to open up to Zara's mediumship—and there's no trusty toy to serve as an anchor.

Forced to rely on the banished Fae ally, Lyra, Zara must anchor her unstable power to a single drop of Fae water. When she discovers the Cat is violently averse to a specific, nefarious incense, she realizes the Cat's secret is the key to exposing Malachi—the rogue bird-napper from her last case—who is now collaborating with a dark coven to transcribe stolen spells and stage a hostile takeover of the local magical world.

Isolated and racing against time, Zara must use her evolved mediumship and her most mundane pet-sitter tools to follow the Cat's secret, jumping path and disrupt a powerful spell before the entire Fae community is plunged into chaos.

The secret to solving a magical murder isn't always magic—sometimes, it's just knowing where a cat will land.
