When twelve-year-old Kat Wolfe starts a pet-sitting agency, she soon finds herself unraveling a mystery, in Kat Wolfe Investigates, the first book in the middle-grade Wolfe and Lamb Mysteries from award-winning author Lauren St. John.
After a break-in at their London home, Kat Wolfe and her veterinarian mum decide itâs time to move to the country. Dr. Wolfeâs new job on Englandâs Jurassic Coast comes with a condition: they have to adopt Tiny, a huge Savannah who resists Katâs best attempts at cat whispering.
Kat starts a pet-sitting agency to make pocket money, but then the owner of her first client, an Amazon parrot, vanishes from his gadget-filled mansion. Only one person shares Katâs conviction that heâs the victim of foul play: Harper Lamb, an American girl laid up with two broken legs thanks to her racehorse.
Kat and Harper team up, but what starts out as mystery-solving fun turns deadly for the duo. When all clues point to a nearby army base, can they count on their unruly animal friends to save the dayâand their lives?
