Thanks for reading!
Book club, bats, and murder…
They call themselves the Bag Bats. Hester might have argued with her twin over that name, but Heady always gets her way. So Bag Bats they were. A book club dedicated to all books bat related—and occasionally dragon related because they decided that counts. Meeting regularly to discuss bat things. And sometimes more.
When Heady picks a new place for their book club meeting, Hester knows they’ve found a new favorite spot. A coffee shop attached to a bookstore? What could be better. One that has a clever gray cat named Boo and a friendly proprietor named Nina who welcomes their uniquely focused book club. The coffee, tea, and pastries are excellent too.
What none of the group expects at the new location… Heady’s shocking revelation.
Now they must decide if their book club can do more than just read books about bats. Can they use their knowledge, and Hester and Heady’s small magic, to find a murderer?

If you'd like to read more of my mystery fiction, you might enjoy the Percy James Mysteries Series! They are all standalone stories, so you can start anywhere, but if you're a stickler for chronological order, you can (at this writing) start with MOVIES MAY MURDER.
This series is available in eBook and Print editions here at KatSimonsBooks and also from other vendors.
