No Cooperation from the Cat

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.
