The MenoPaws Mysteries by Morgana Best feature Nell Darling, who arrives in a small Australian mountain town after divorcing her husband. She barely has time to settle in before she finds a dead body, buys a bookstore on impulse, and starts hearing a local cat named JenniFur speak to her. Whether the cat is really talking or menopause is playing tricks on her mind is part of the fun.
All four books were published in 2021, and the cat-and-menopause pun titles keep the tone playful: A Midlife CatAstrophe, But Wait There’s Myrrh, Signs and Pawtents, and Start from Scratches. The series falls into the paranormal women’s fiction space, with a protagonist navigating midlife changes alongside supernatural events and small-town murder.
