Murphy has not only captured
the essence of feline behavior in Joe Grey and
Dulcie, she has also given them believable
personalities that are completely in keeping with an ‘attitude’ that any
cat owner will immediately recognize.

A very unusual but beguiling
sleuth…If you’ve never read one, maybe it’s about time you did!
Salinas Californian
In the latest Joe Grey mystery, Joe and his
fellow sentient feline sleuths, lovely Dulcie and the reckless
tattercoat Kit, find themselves facing yet more murder in the otherwise
peaceful town of Molena Point, California. This time the victim is the
well-liked former film star Patty Rose, who had settled in the village.
In the course of the investigation, the bodies of children murdered
years earlier are discovered in a backyard garden. Is there a connection
to Patty's brutal death? Also involved is a runaway 12-year-old girl
hiding in the local library who is kidnapped by a vicious man seen near
Patty's murder scene. The investigation seems to be going nowhere until
Kit unearths some secrets and phones the police. Fans of the series will
welcome this new episode, which maintains the expected suspense and
investigative skills of the cats.
