The Kiln Creek Mysteries
Six books. One very determined potter. One cat who sees everything.
Meet Captain Montgomery Blacke
Black as midnight with green eyes that miss absolutely nothing — and a white bow-tie patch on his chest that suggests he dressed for the occasion. Monty arrived at Clay & Glaze on move-in day as a hostile takeover and never left. He sleeps in unfired bowls. He judges everyone equally. He is, unquestionably, the smartest creature in any room he enters.
"Don't look at me like that." — Frankie Mercer, approximately once per chapter.
