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.
