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. |
