Four Elements of Murder (A Cat Caliban Mystery)

By D.B. Borton and D.B. Barton

Book Overview

"Mel had explained to me the whole concept of organic gardening, all about nature and balance and natural enemies. So if the Japanese could send us their beetles, why couldn't they send us a Mothra to eat them? Import quotas?"

Death does a land office business in Millins County, Tennessee. Everybody knows why, but talking about it can get you killed, too. When a whistleblower is killed on his way to tell what he knows, Cat comes to town to dig up buried secrets.

Meanwhile, as Cat fights killers in Tennessee, the organic garden behind the Catatonia Arms is fighting its own losing battle with cats, dog, weeds, and insects, and none of the villains is committed to a fair fight.

Will Cat bring the killers to justice before they bury her? Will the Catatonia Arms survive the onslaught of biblical hordes and giant mutant vegetables?

Four Elements of Murder is the fourth mystery in the Cat Caliban series, featuring Cincinnati's newest, oldest, funniest detective-in-training.

Cat Caliban is a good match for fans of older women detectives like Miss Marple and Mrs. Pollifax, as well as Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series.
