Publisher Description
The Agatha Award–winning author's "charming heroines" return as a cookbook writer is entangled in a mysterious death (Kirkus Reviews).
Trixie and Evangeline's shared kitchen is unusually crowded as Trixie's daughter, Martha, tests recipes for her upcoming cookbook, with help from her editor. But as they rush to meet their deadline, a few more people show up unexpectedly . . . including the husband of the cookbook's original author, now mysteriously deceased, who Martha replaced.
When one of these unwanted guests turns up dead, the truth will have to come out eventually—and Trixie and Evangeline are on the case, along with Cho-Cho-San, their beloved Japanese bobtail.
"Lively . . . Fans of frothy, dialogue-heavy British cozies will be in heaven right up to the madcap climax." —Publishers Weekly
No Cooperation from the Cat is the 7th book in the Trixie Dolan & Evangeline Sinclair Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the outset of Babson's lively eighth mystery featuring aging London actresses Evangeline Sinclair and Trixie Dolan (after 2003's The Cat Who Wasn't a Dog), Trixie's daughter, Martha, and Martha's book editor, Jocasta, are busy testing recipes for a new cookbook in Evangeline and Trixie's kitchen when an unexpected guest arrives at the actresses' apartment. Banquo Fitzfothergill, who's "just returned from a solo mission to the North Pole to monitor the retreating glaciers," demands to see his "beautiful bride," Melisande, who he believes is the one putting together the new cookbook. Alas, Melisande dropped dead after giving a cooking demonstration while Banquo was away, and Jocasta, afraid to tell Banquo the bad news, hides until he departs. Meanwhile, Martha is annoyed to learn that she was the second choice to edit the cookbook. Fans of frothy, dialogue-heavy British cozies will be in heaven right up to the madcap climax.
