A cozy where the amateur sleuths do virtually no sleuthing and the identity of the killer is painfully obvious? Yes, but it goes down as smoothly as a spoonful of rice pudding. Genre veteran Babson can't be bothered much with investigatory details, but she has a sure hand at drawing-room farce, British style. Four aging actresses convene in Brighton, where two of the four are set to star in a revival of Arsenic and Old Lace. Disaster beckons, however, when the death of Dame Cecile Savoy's "revolting floor mop" of a Pekinese sends the star into a near-breakdown. It only gets worse when the quartet find themselves implicated in the murders of a taxidermist and a missing housekeeper. Of course, there's a cat involved, too, a Japanese bobtail called Cho-Cho-San who knows more than she's letting on, and there's even some recipes, courtesy of the daughter of one of the actresses, who is writing a cookbook for actors on the road. Utterly silly and utterly entertaining. Ilene Cooper
