A cosy murder mystery in which a cat helps solve the crime, this is a forgotten Golden Age classic.
Expert sleuthing - The Saturday Review
Bennet Farr was the richest and most hated man in town, so when he is found dead, the list of those with a grudge grows endless. Theres the librarian, the journalist, the schoolteacher, and Bennets own son, who was struck off the family inheritance just days before Bennets death.

A lost classic worthy of rediscovery, this cosy mystery will delight any fan of Golden Age detective fiction.
