Debbie De Louise

The first three books in 'Buttercup Bend Mysteries', a series of cozy mystery novels by Debbie De Louise, now available in one volume!

The Case Of The Cat Crazy Lady: Cathy Carter and her brother Douglas own an animal rescue center in the small town of Buttercup Bend. After the local “Cat Crazy Lady,” Maggie Broom, is found dead, Cathy is stunned to learn that Rainbow Gardens and Rainbow Rescues is the recipient of most of Maggie’s estate. When another person turns up dead, Cathy sets out to solve the murders. But who really wanted to kill the "Cat Crazy Lady," and why?

The Case of the Parrot Loving Professor: Cathy Carter knew that returning to college would be tough, but she never expected it would involve finding her anthropology professor’s dead body. There are no shortages of suspects in Dr. Bodkin’s murder, and as Cathy delves deeper into the case, she discovers a relationship between her teacher and the Mennonite family from whom she purchased the farmland for her new pet rescue center. With the Buttercup Bend church's 1970's costume dance and Cathy's birthday fast approaching, can she bring Bodkin's killer to justice?

The Case of the Llama Raising Librarian: When the town’s librarian asks her to solve the murder of co-worker Doris, who retired to a llama farm, Cathy leaves her kittens with her grandmother and her friends without an explanation. The guests who attended the dinner at which Doris died are invited back for a reenactment of that night. These include the gardener, veterinarian, and farmhand, who all had motives to murder Doris, as well as Doris' sister and her ex-husband. When the dinner is staged, the only clue Cathy receives is given by Danielle's grandmother. But is it enough for Cathy to deduce who murdered the llama raising librarian?

Buttercup Bend Mysteries - Books 1-3

Cathy Carter knew that returning to college would be tough, but she never expected it would involve finding her anthropology professor’s dead body.

There are no shortages of suspects in Dr. Bodkin’s murder. Besides his three ex-wives and estranged son and daughter, there are also the members of the Talking Parrots Club, a group of four parrot enthusiasts, of which he was the president and founder.

As Cathy delves into Bodkin’s murder, she discovers a relationship between her teacher and the Mennonite family from whom she purchased the farmland for her new pet rescue center. She and her friend Nancy, now employed at a detective agency, work together to help Detective Hunt and Sheriff Miller solve the crime.

After receiving cryptic messages, they wonder if someone wants to put a stop to their investigation. With the Buttercup Bend church's 1970's costume dance and Cathy's birthday fast approaching, can she and Nancy bring Bodkin's killer to justice without endangering their lives?

The Case of the Parrot Loving Professor

After solving two murders in the “peaceful” town of Buttercup Bend, Cathy Carter needs a rest. She also needs time to consider the marriage proposals she received over the holidays. But when the town’s librarian asks her to go undercover to solve the suspected murder of a co-worker who retired to a llama farm, Cathy leaves her kittens with her grandmother and her friends without an explanation.

The only person at Oaks Landing Farm who knows the true reason Cathy and Mildred have come there is Danielle, the murder victim's daughter, who is having trouble convincing relatives and the police that her mother Doris was killed and didn’t suffer the heart attack that was termed her cause of death.

When it's proved that Danielle's suspicions are correct, the guests who attended the dinner at which Doris died are invited back for a reenactment of that night. These included the gardener, veterinarian, and farmhand who all had motives to murder Doris, as well as Doris' sister and her ex-husband. When the dinner is staged, the only clue Cathy receives is given by Danielle's grandmother who has dementia. Will this unreliable tip help Cathy deduce who murdered the llama raising librarian?

The Case of the Llama Raising Librarian

Cathy, Nancy, and Mildred are on their way to Long Island to plan a triple wedding. When they try to meet with Georgia Hampton, a wedding planner who leads whale-watching tours, they discover her body upon her boat.

Teaming up again, the trio investigate the crime. Suspects include Georgia’s sister who is a partner in their wedding planning business, an artist who is a naturalist and conducts whale-watching tours, several couples whose relationships ended after consulting with Georgia, and employees of the tour company.

Reuniting with her great aunt after many years, Cathy learns that another suspicious death has occurred at Captain Sharp’s Whale Watching Tours. Can they solve the mystery, or will their efforts sail out to sea?
