Gold Rush cupcakes, gold nuggets, and panning for gold – can Lauren, Annie, and Zoe find their own fortune? That is, when they’re not busy catching a killer!

Lauren Denman, cupcake baker and co-owner of the Norwegian Forest Cat Café with her fur baby Annie, has scored a catering gig with her cousin Zoe. The local senior center is giving a talk on the 1850s gold rush, and in honor of the occasion, Lauren has created a special Gold Rush cupcake.

But when Shirley, a local lady, tells everyone that she has a real gold nugget, everyone wants to see it!

Inspired by the gold rush, Lauren, Annie, and Zoe decide to pan for gold with their friend Martha. Will they find a nugget of their own?

When they visit Shirley to find out more about her big gold nugget, they stumble across a dead body, and a clue.

One hidden clue leads to another, until they’re convinced they’re on the trail of Shirley’s nugget.

Martha wants to help them “sleuth” and persuades them to let her go undercover in the café.

But when the killer discovers what they’re up to, will they have time to discover a fortune in gold? Or will they have enjoyed their last Gold Rush cupcake?

This is a humorous, clean, cat cozy mystery with female amateur sleuths, cupcake talk – and Annie, the Norwegian Forest Cat!
