Publisher Description

The outcry when Arthur Conan Doyle pushed Sherlock Holmes over the Reichenbach Falls and the dismay when Freeling shot Van der Valk are as nothing compared to the chaos that ensues when Lorinda Lucas tries to dispose of Miss Petunia and her siblings, Lily and Marigold. Not only does the lid blow off the fictional village of St. Waldemar Boniface, but the literary colony of Brimful Coffers is shaken to its foundations.

Old feuds are resurrected and new feuds are born as a town full of mystery writers begins to wonder if Life has imitated Art or vice versa. Even the cats, Had-I, But-Known, and Roscoe, become embroiled and add their share to the motives for murder and frayed nerves in the community.

"I really enjoy light mysteries, and Marian Babson's cat books fit the bill. You won't figure out whodunit, but just sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy the atmosphere. ***I have read other books of hers, but have found them slightly more disturbing and less fun than the ones that feature cats."

    " This book is nothing but fun fluff. A village of mystery writers find themselves confronting all kinds of evils including their own detectives coming to life! Kitties and doggies and annoying Americans add to the fun. Nadia May is a wonderful narrator! "

    " A great fun read. Light British lit with an interesting plot of mystery writers who live in a village together and end up having the sort of thing they normally write about actually happening to them in real life. Combined with the whimsy of their pet cats, it made a nice read "

    " I really enjoyed the bits about how the main characters, mystery novel writers, were sick of their protaganists and fantasized about killing them off. The murder and mystery are really secondary to the characters. Good escape. "

    " eh...not so good. i love mindless mysteries, but this was pretty mindless. I read through til the end, so it was good enough, and I didn't peg the murderer, which was also good, but i wouldn't necessarily go running out to buy this book. "

    " It was ok. Listened to it as an Audio Book. Got a little confusing when Lorinda was having pieces of her book read outloud. There was no indication that this was happening in the Audio version. I'm sure it was much easier to figure out in the print version. "
