Book Description
This mystery “immerses the reader in English village life [with] a cast of delightful characters, including cats” (Publishers Weekly). Mystery writer Lorinda Lucas doesn’t like the trend toward overly gruesome crime fiction—but she’s even more upset about Roscoe, the cat who lives next door. He used to look well-fed and well cared for, but when Lorinda gets back from her most recent book tour, she’s worried by his dangerously skinny appearance. It turns out that Roscoe’s owner has a new girlfriend who’s put the poor cat on a deprivation diet—and that’s not the only bad news in Brimful Coffers. There’s been a fatal hit-and-run and escalating tensions—and before she knows it, the mystery writer will be investigating a real-life murder case . . . This witty, suspenseful tale comes from an Agatha Award–winning author whose “name on a mystery is a guarantee of quality writing wrapped around an unusual crime” (Houston Chronicle). Please Do Feed the Cat is the 1st book in the Brimful Coffers Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Book Description
A suspenseful tale of murder and mystery in a dysfunctional British family: “Babson is as easy to read as ever” (Kirkus Reviews). Margot has come back to England from America to show solidarity with her extended family in the midst of a scandalous murder trial. Cousin Chloe stands accused of stabbing her identical twin sister, Claudia, and Margot’s well-to-do relatives are, understandably, a mess—that is to say, even more dysfunctional than usual. One is eating compulsively to cope with the stress; Claudia’s teenage daughter is hiding out in her bedroom; the paparazzi are hounding everyone; and all the while Chloe won’t speak a word to the police, lawyers, or doctors. No wonder the household’s pet Abyssinian, Tikki, has gone to stay with the neighbors. But things are about to get worse when Margot, searching for Tikki, finds another victim—whom no one recognizes—in the pond, in this absorbing novel from an Agatha Award–winning author. “What can a reviewer say about Marian Babson? If you haven’t read at least one of her books, you have definitely missed the boat. She is consistently witty.” —Mystery News
