The Black Cat Murders by Karen Baugh Menuhin
Major Heathcliff Lennox is invited to the wedding of an old friend at the Earl of Bloxford's country estate in the Cotswolds. Before Lennox, Greggs, and Mr. Fogg even arrive, another wedding guest is murdered. Lennox's old nemesis Inspector Swift of Scotland Yard shows up to investigate, except this time, he seems to think that Lennox is there to be his assistant.
This is the second book in the Heathcliff Lennox series, with the same loony collection of friends that you'd expect in a P. G. Wodehouse novel. Not only is Mr. Fogg the cocker spaniel in attendance, Lennox receives a black kitten as a present from the bride. Fogg immediately falls in love with the kitten. The kitten, named Tubbs for his chubby appearance, is so small, it rides around in Lennox's pocket when it's not rearranging his desk. The cuteness factor is higher than in the first book but that's okay. This is a fun series that is a refreshing change from most mysteries.
