Up to Noir Good (Secrets of Castleton Manor Library Series, Book #1) by Jan Fields
A heatwave grips Cape Cod, but the attendees of the So Noir literary retreat don't allow the hot weather to dampen their enthusiasm. They roam the halls of Castleton Manor in Lighthouse Bay, Massachusetts wearing trench coats and fedoras, just like their fictional private eyes.
Librarian Faith Newberry gets herself in a jam when she agrees to deliver a lecture about the detective code. It's not exactly duck soup to grab the audience's attention, but Watson, her devoted feline companion, listens attentively. He realizes that he's the quintessential hard-boiled detective because he's smart and tough and always saving hapless humans.
When Oscar North, chef and local restaurant owner, falls from the balcony and dies, Watson gets his first case.
