Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Outstanding Praise for Marian Babson and Her MysteriesTo Catch a Cat"A quick, suspenseful story."--Mystery News"Robin's sudden, urgent bonding with Leif Eriksson provides a clever, wholly apt vehicle for the usual in-cat-uation."-Kirkus Reviews"An eminently delightful book...deft and enjoyable."--HandHeld Crime"Babson has a pleasantly light touch despite the subject matter. The reader becomes interested in the characters as the story dashes to a dramatic end with surprises along the way."-San Jose Mercury News"Babson weaves her separate threads into a tight plot...A swift and sure climax leads to a clever and satisfying resolution." -Publishers Weekly The Company of Cats"[A] slinky felineextravaganza."-Publishers Weekly"Her portrayal of the kindhearted, martini-swigging Annabel is a winner...as are the descriptions of various feline characters."-Booklist"What can a reviewer say about Marian Babson? If you haven't read at least one of her books, you have definitely missed the boat. She is consistently witty."-Mystery News

Synopsis:

After a member of a European tour group mysteriously dies in Zurich, the remaining members arrive in London, tightlipped and fearful. When foul play strikes again, Doug Perkins, of the PR firm of Perkins & Tate, and his cat, Pandora, are on the prowl for a murderer. Martin's Press.

Synopsis:

Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey...And Ye Olde HomicideLarkin's Luxury Tours number 79 is a traveler's nightmare. The problems had started in Zurich, Switzerland when one of the group died under mysterious circumstances. Now the remaining tour members have landed in London, tight-lipped, fearful, and ready to ask for their money back. It's up to Doug Perkins, of the PR firm of Perkins and Tate, to restore their spirits. Naturally, for the restoration of spirits, he arranges a pub crawl, and with the help of his cat Pandora, he's jollying them back into being happy campers...at the best hotels of course. Then foul play strikes again. Now, Doug, assisted by Pandora's feline ability to smell a rat, needs to find out which tourist hides a preference for bed, breakfast, and murder... "Marian Babson's name on a mystery is a guarantee of quality writing wrapped around an unusual crime."-Houston Chronicle

Synopsis:

A trip to London turns deadly...until P.R. agent Doug Perkins, with the help of a cat, foils a nearly purr-fect crime.
