The Tell-Tail Heart

The untold story behind Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart."

Edgar Allan Poe’s cat, Cattarina, mistakes a glass eye for a plaything and unwittingly pulls them into a crime even the constable can’t solve - a madman is on the loose, prowling the cobblestone streets of Philadelphia in search of blue-eyed victims. When her beloved “Eddy” develops an obsession with the case, Cattarina takes matters into her own paws and begins an ambitious search for the Glass Eye Killer.

She soon learns this is no simple mouse hunt...

From spooky Eastern State Penitentiary to the lush gardens of Fairmount Water Works, Cattarina stalks her quarry, encountering dangerous characters along the way. But as the mystery unravels, the more tangled she and Eddy become until even her “man of letters” is suspected of the atrocities. Yet she cannot give up the chase. If she succeeds in catching the killer, the missing pieces of Eddy’s unfinished story will fall into place, and the Poe household will once again experience peace.

With their hilarious, sometimes hair raising plot twists, well-developed characters, and immersive Victorian settings, the Cattarina Mysteries are a purrfect match for fans of cat cozy mysteries, historical mysteries, and Edgar Allan Poe.
