Eileen Watkins is a New Jersey-based author who writes cozy mysteries with a feline theme. Her A Cat Groomer Mystery series, which runs to six books from 2017 to 2022, centers on Cassie McGlone, a cat groomer and amateur sleuth who runs a business called Cassie’s Comfy Cats in the small town of Chadwick, New Jersey. Each book combines a murder mystery with humor, cat care detail, and a close-knit community setting.
The series has attracted a dedicated readership among cat lovers and cozy mystery fans alike. The titles — which include The Persian Always Meows Twice, The Bengal Identity, and Feral Attraction — reflect the light, pun-driven humor that runs through the books. Watkins has a background in journalism and non-fiction writing, and her prose is clean and accessible. The books can be read in order or as standalones, though starting from the beginning gives the most character context.
