A millionaire's cat may be the key to a murder mystery in this delightful novel from an Agatha Award–winning author.

When Annabel Hinchby-Smythe accepts an offer to serve as interior decorator to computer mogul Arthur Arbuthnot, she can't help noticing that no one in the house seems to genuinely like the tycoon—aside from his cat, Sally.

After Arthur's sudden death—and the revelation that Sally is named sole inheritor in his will—Annabel's new task will be finding out the truth about her client's demise, and keeping the furry heiress safe from harm.

"Her portrayal of the kindhearted, martini-swigging Annabel is a winner." —Booklist

Praise for Marian Babson
