“The humor is playful rather than clawed in this slinky feline extravaganza from veteran author Babson.” Publishers Weekly
Description
A millionaire’s pet tabby is the only witness to his catty murder.
When millionaire Arthur Arbuthnot mistakes gossip maven Annabel Hinchby-Smythe for a decorator—and hires her to redecorate his apartment—the fiscally challenged Annabel can’t refuse. When she sees Arbuthnot’s tatty London flat, she knows anything will be an improvement. And any gossip she can dig up will be pure gold for the tabloids. But when Arthur is found dead, his frisky relatives begin to lick their chops.
Arbuthnot’s beloved tabby, Sally, was the only witness to the homicide—and the sole heir to his estate. Suddenly, cat-hating family members are eager to claim her and control the family fortune. Annabel’s only hope to save the cat and catch a killer is to kidnap Sally—and see who comes sniffing around. Once the cat’s out of the bag, murder is sure to follow.
Praise
