About this ebook
Can this housecat prevent a homicide? An “inventive” mystery from the Agatha Award–winning author (Chicago Tribune).
The Harpers have traded their New England home for a cottage in the original England—just for the summer. Their cozy new house even comes complete with Esmond, a timid marmalade cat.
But the peaceful village starts to feel less welcoming when an attempt is made on Mr. Harper’s life. Now, amid secrets and suspicions, they must sniff out the truth—with a little help from Esmond.
Praise for Marian Babson

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Harper family trades homes for the summer with a newly widowed woman from England. Arnold needs to do research there, and the widow wants to spend time with her sister. It’s a wonderful idea, until the murderous attempts on Arnold’s life begin. At first, the strange occurrences seem like accidents, but then other things add up and equal attempted murder. It’s a quick read, and pretty interesting. The story’s main entertaining factor, though, are the twins, Donald and Donna. Without their antics, the book would have been a little flat.
