Please Do Feed the Cat

Marian Babson, Author Minotaur Books $22.95 (192p) ISBN 978-0-312-28498-5

Marian Babson's latest cozy, Please Do Feed the Cat, immerses the reader in English village life, after a witty swipe at the kind of graphic crime fiction typical of Patricia Cornwell. A cast of delightful characters, including cats, plus long, loving descriptions of food compensate for a less than compelling mystery involving a fatal hit-and-run ""accident."" Agent, Dominick Abel. .
