What to expect

What's the perfect read for fans of New York Times bestselling mystery authors Lilian Jackson Braun and Rita Mae Brown? This delightful ninth Joe Grey Mystery from award-winning author Shirley Rousseau Murphy.

Evil has crept into Molena Point, California, on stealthy cat feet. A rash of brazen burglaries, from antique jewelry to vintage cars, coincides with the unwelcome appearance of yellow-eyed Azrael, feline nemesis of crime-solving cats Joe Grey and Dulcie. But what follows soon after really has Joe's fur standing on edge. A young, healthy waiter drops dead at a reception for local artist Charlie Harper. And when the trail of big-time thefts leads up to San Francisco, the dark beast Azrael is on the scene. Does he have contact with a stalker and a handsome philanderer? If Joe and Dulcie don't get to the bottom of these misdeeds soon, they and all their human friends will have ample reasons to be afraid—very afraid.

It's time for the feline sleuths to start sniffing out the truth.

Critics Review

“[A] superior cat cozy…As usual, the
relationships between the lively human characters and the talking cats in whom
they confide their problems provide as much interest as the crime solving. The
intricate and absorbing plot keeps the reader in suspense throughout.”

Publishers Weekly

“The fast-paced story involves sophisticated
burglary, murder, and the bizarre secret of Kate’s own nature. Once again the
delightful mix of humans, sentient cats, mystery, and humor remains true to the
preceding books in the series, only this time with a larger dollop of fantasy,
which should extend the audience beyond the usual cat-mystery buffs.”

Booklist

“Shattered families and long-hidden secrets
(both human and feline) are the themes of this ninth volume of Shirley Rousseau
Murphy’s popular mystery series about exceptionally clever cats who can carry
on a conversation…and an investigation.”

Barnes & Noble, editorial review

“Magical whimsy and deft writing.”

Cats magazine

 “Excellent
reading, whether you believe or not. Not to be missed!”
