The Purr N’ Bark Pet Shop Mystery series puts T.C. LoTempio’s protagonist behind the counter of a pet shop where the customers sometimes bring more than their animals. The six-book series, running from 2019 to 2025, follows the shop owner as she gets tangled up in local murder cases.

The Time for Murder is Meow kicked off the series, and later entries like Killers of a Feather and Death Steals the Spotlight have kept the mysteries coming. Cats, Carats and Killers adds a jewel theft angle, while A Side Dish of Death brings food into the mix. The pet shop setting gives LoTempio plenty of material for animal-related humor alongside the mystery plots.
