This is the first in a brand new cozy mystery series. I'm loving it. Excerpts are from the E-ARC.
Book Beginnings
A chorus of meows echoed throughout the room. Cat perches, scratching posts, toys, and just about everything a kitty could ever want filled the area. I had to keep a close eye on every step to keep from squashing a tail.

"Coffee is an hour old, but should still be hot," Mom said, taking a seat at the dining room table. "Why are you here?"
Synopsis from Goodreads:
From the bestselling author of the Bookshop Cafe Mysteries, the first in an exciting new series featuring a young female entrepreneur who’s just opened her dream business – a yoga studio filled with adorable, adoptable cats! If only helping humans fund balance and felines find homes didn’t also require she investigate the purrfect murder…
Sure to appeal to fans of Miranda James, Cate Conte, Eileen Watkins, Laurien Berenson, and all lovers of cozy mysteries featuring animal companions!
Finding this killer will be a real stretch . . .
Ashley Branson has a lot to prove with her new cat yoga studio, A Purrfect Pose. It's a place for humans to find inner wellness—and adopt adorable cats from the local shelter. It’s also a chance for Ash to run her own life, out from under her overbearing mother and a stifling relationship. So far, so successful. Until she discovers one of her new clients, a much-disliked college professor, dead in her studio, locked in child’s pose . . .
To make matters worse, Ash’s hapless always-in-trouble brother, Hunter, instantly becomes the cops’ prime suspect. Determined to clear his name and save her business, Ash does a deep lunge into the surprising—and strange—connections the victim had with her other clients. But countless suspects, contradictory leads, not to mention people desperate to see her studio shut down, mean Ash will have to stretch to the max to outthink a clever killer who’s ready to strike her red in tooth and claw . . .

Anything with that many cats makes me want to sneeze because of my allergies.
