The A Cat Groomer Mystery series by Eileen Watkins runs to six books, starting with The Persian Always Meows Twice (2017) and concluding (to date) with Night of the Were-Cat (2022). The series is set in Chadwick, a fictional New Jersey town, where Cassie McGlone operates a cat grooming business and repeatedly finds herself at the center of local murder investigations. The books blend light humor, cat-centered detail, and small-town mystery in a style typical of the cozy genre.
Each entry presents a self-contained mystery while building on Cassie’s relationships and her growing reputation as an amateur sleuth. The titles play on familiar film and book titles — The Bengal Identity, Feral Attraction, Gone Kitty Gone — which signals the playful tone readers can expect. The series is a solid choice for readers who want mystery fiction with humor, a strong sense of place, and plenty of cat content.
