Murder Mittens

The concept of murder mittens is so unique and charming. I'm curious whether this idea came from a personal love of cats or a desire to blend humor with mystery.

The book manages to be funny and light while dealing with murder and magic—how do you think the author maintained that tone without it feeling jarring?

The way magic works here feels so playful yet intriguing. I wonder what inspired the specific rules of this magical world and how much was planned beforehand.
