Bat books, coffee, and crime…
The Bag Bats return to the café for their book club meeting, their focus on books about bats never wavering. The coffee and atmosphere of Nina’s café give them a place they feel very comfortable. And even Hester’s fussy twin, Heady, approves.
But at this particular meeting, Hester and the others learn a colleague of one of their members has been injured, attacked at the pet rescue where she works. The police show little interest in solving the crime. Leaving the hunt for clues up to the Bag Bats.
Hester knows well their book club of mostly ordinary women probably won’t discover anything unusual. But that doesn’t stop the Bag Bats. Because when one of their own has a problem, they jump in to help. Even without a bat.
