Set in an English village of Brimful Coffers, where mystery writer, Lucinda Lucas, has lived for six months. A main reason to buy the cottage, aside from quiet countryside, is the freedom it provides for her cats Had-I and But-Known. At the encouragement of their mutual acquaintance and fellow writer, Dorian King, several other writers moved into the village. The veritable enclave includes Lucinda's close friend Fredericka (Freddie) Carlson and Lancelot Dalrymple, a.k.a. Macho Magee, (the name of the hero of his tough-guy stories), Macho's cat, Roscoe, is a frequent visitor at Lucinda's. Others in residence are book critic Plantagenet Sutton; magazine editor Gemma Duquette; Gemma's noisy, bickering neighbors Karla and Jack Jackley; Betty Alvin, girl Friday to Dorian; and Gordie the maintenance man.
Strange incidents begins when Jackley, while taking photographs, falls into the bonfire at Dorian's Guy Fawkes Day party. The next incident happens a short time later when Gemma's is diagnosed with food poisoning. Incidents turn eerie when Lucinda finds pages from her typewriter in which her fictional sister sleuths are plotting her demise. Matters turn serious with the deaths of Plantagenet and visiting author Ondine van Zeet. Dorian is saved from a similar fate due to the actions of three nosey cats. As it turns out, Dorian's motive for literary in-gathering proves to be monetary and leads the main characters to consider common factors that linked the victims to one another. The solution to it all arrives in a surprise confrontation.

Not as good as I expected since it has all the right stuff - cats, books and mystery! However, I enjoyed it.

Sorry, journal entry #3 was me...I released it at the Sosa Community Center near Westview on Wirt last week.
