Description
DeeLo Myer, newly transplanted from Los Angeles to Pecan Point, Georgia, gets sentenced to forty hours of community service with the local humane society. She's paired with the judgmental Catherine Foster, a Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) guru who prefers feral cats to people. During DeeLo's first night on duty, she and Catherine are led by a cat to the strangled body of a local bookstore owner.
The cop who investigates seems less concerned with solving a homicide than with Catherine's violation of an antiquated animal ordinance rendering TNVR illegal. The following evening, when he arrests Catherine for violating the said ordinance, and then holds her as a suspect in the murder, DeeLo vows to prove Catherine's innocence and get the ridiculous law changed. How hard could it be? She enlists her boyfriend/boss and the resources of his law office. Her quest for justice and legislative change leads her to high-profile members of the community, some of whom have motives for murder.

"Sharon Marchisello's Trap, Neuter, Die, is a delightful entry into the world of cozy mysteries.

"A new cozy queen is on the scene! Trap, Neuter, Die is everything a cozy should be: a satisfying whodunit with a smattering of romance and bursting with cattitude. Cozy readers are in for a delicious treat." - Cathy Tully, USA Today Best Selling author of the ChiroCozy Mystery Series.
"TRAP, NEUTER, DIE is, let's say, feral, and you'll love it. This is not a cat cozy. There are cats, but the book has a seductive edge. Sharon Marchisello's engaging protagonist, Delores Diane Myer-Johansson, who goes by Dee-Lo, knows she was wrong when she drove her car after imbibing too much wine. I was invested in her story from the first chapter. The writing purrs and if you're familiar with Sharon's previous work, she's planted a little surprise for you." - Lane Stone, author of the Big Picture art thriller trilogy
"Meet kindly DeeLo, a new volunteer at the local animal rescue. While learning how to trap stray cats on her very first night, she stumbles across the body of a local bookstore owner. She begins asking questions and quickly learns that feral cats are not the only ones with enemies in the community. And, most importantly, that one should never underestimate the loyalty and craftiness of a cat." - Rebecca Saltzer, author of Murder Over Broken Bonds and Not Accounting For Murder
