A cosy murder mystery in which a cat helps solve the crime, this is a forgotten Golden Age classic. When a murder happens in a small town, everyone's a suspect - but it's the victim's cat that reveals an essential clue to help catch the killer. 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. There's the librarian, the journalist, the schoolteacher, and Bennet's own son, who was struck off the family inheritance just days before Bennet's death. When everyone in town is guilty, how do you find the killer? The key to solving the mystery is found not by the police but by Bennet's pet cat, Smoky.
