4.0 out of 5 stars
Cats and diamonds lead to mayhem and murder.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diamond Cat (Hardcover)
A glittering object drops to the floor.
What's a hungry cat to do? Swallow it
of course. That is part of the premise of
THE DIAMOND CAT by Marian
Babson.
When a major storm hits a London
suburb, a carrier pigeon is the victim.
Needless to say, the four felines being boarded
by a downtrodden spinster and her
demanding mother are more than
mildly interested. The bird is carrying
a fortune in diamonds, mysterious begin to
strangers haunt the neighborhood, and
two murders ensue.
This fast-paced book by American
expatriot Babson will delight
readers of traditional British mysteries
and cat lovers alike.

Babson Does It Again,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Diamond Cat (Mass Market Paperback)
No matter how much you may happen to have an aversion to either mysteries and/or cats, one can't help but laugh out loud when the person telling the story is Ms. Babson.This particular murder mystery is done just as straight-forwarded and written with the dry humor we've come to expect. No one gives a more accurate picture of the English countryside and the people who live there than Marian Babson: her characters are well defined but she never gets wordy or preachy about it. It is the same with the deaths that take place in her novels: no gruesome details, just facts and good reading. Do yourself a big favor and pick up this, or any of Ms. Babson's novels: you won't regret it.
