A summer in England sounds like a great idea for the Harper family—and the house exchange makes it so affordable. Now they’ve swapped their New England home for a lovely cottage in a village near London. Why, the house even comes with a cat, a shy marmalade named Esmond. Everything seems purrfect … until someone tries to kill Mr. Harper.
Now the genteel village feels sinister, the snooty next-door neighbor is acting suspicious, and the house is filled with its real owner’s secrets. Numerous attempts on Mr. Harper’s life convince his wife that they can’t pussyfoot around. They need to investigate, starting with what the mousy orange cat knows.
Marian Babson is a mystery writer and the author of more than forty novels in the traditional amateur-sleuth style, “murder most British.” In 1996 she was awarded the Crime Writers’ Association Dagger in the library category for her body of work. She was born in Salem, Massachusetts, but has lived in London for the greater part of her life. Her many interests—theater, cinema, art, cooking, travel, and cats—are reflected in her numerous novels.
Saskia Maarleveld is an experienced voice-over actress and Earphones Award–winning narrator. Raised in New Zealand and France, she is highly skilled with accents and dialects, and many of her books have been narrated entirely in accents other than her own. In addition to audiobooks, her voice can be heard in animation, video games, and commercials.
Reviews
“Inventive in its muted, muffled presentation of terror, which throbs like a heartbeat throughout the novel’s core.”
“A spiffy mystery.”
