Da kommt es ihr gerade gelegen, dass beim Backwettbewerb in Pfützenhausen unerklärliche Dinge vorgehen: Puderzucker-Explosionen und gestohlene Geheimrezepte gehören zu keinem fairen Wettkampf. Kitti muss etwas unternehmen, sonst endet das Finale für alle in einem absoluten Törtchen-Trauma! Auf über 180 durchgehend illustrierten Seiten des Comic-Krimis können die kleinen Leserinnen Kittis atemlose Jagd nach dem Täter mitverfolgen.

Gerade ist ihr das Gerücht zu Ohren gekommen, dass im Museum ihrer Heimatstadt Pfützenhausen ein verfluchter, ausgestopfter Pudel herumspukt. Kitti nimmt sofort die Ermittlungen auf und entführt ihre kleinen Leser in ein packendes Krimi-Abenteuer.

Kitti, Holli und Mona sind bisher vor keinem noch so kniffligen Fall zurückgeschreckt! Kein Wunder, schließlich haben die drei Freundinnen extra einen Krimi-Klub gegründet, um rätselhafte Rätsel zu lösen. In Pfützenhausen sind sie mittlerweile als DIE SPÜRNASEN berühmt-berüchtigt. Als das Gerede über ein spaghettifutterndes Ungeheuer die Runde macht, kommt das den drei kleinen Detektivinnen sehr gelegen. Auf so einen Fall warten sie schon ewig!

Und wer ist dieser geheimnisvolle Übeltäter, der sich nachts herumtreibt und Kätzchen klaut? Eins ist mal sicher, Kitti wird ihm auf die Schliche kommen und diesen Fall lösen!
