This light and easy-to-read cozy reminded me a bit of Christie in the atmosphere it built up. About a third of the way into the book, it turns creepy and more interesting.

From AudioFile Kitties, writers and mystery converge on Brimful Coffers , a community of authors in an English village. Chaos follows as new resident novelist Lucinda Lucas and her feline companions inquire into threats that lead to murder. Nadia May composes a lighthearted narration of feline and human happenings. With enticing charm and a bit of satire, she voices the intrigue, fear and frivolity by which characters collectively attempt to sniff out a killer. B.J.L.
