SynopsisIt's been quite a week for Joe Grey. First the large, powerfulfeline discovers that, through some strange, inexplicable phenomenon, he now has the ability to understand human language. Then he discovers he can speak it as well! It's a nightmare for a cat who'd prefer to sleep the day away carefree, but Joe can handle it. That is, until he has the misfortune to witness a murder in the alley behind Jolly's Deli - and worse, to be seen witnessing it.

Joe--a tomcat who is suddenly able to understand humans--is the sole witness to a murder in the quaint coastal village of Carmel-by-the-Sea and finds his relaxing days of curling up and catching mice are now on the line. He thought it was a perfect crime... the only witness was a cat. It's been quite a week for Joe Grey. First, the large, silver feline is alarmed to discover, when his owner yells at him to dispose of a mouse, that he can understand human language and even more shocking, that he can speak it as well!

If you love cats, or wonder about them, this is a series of books that will keep you entertained from beginning to end. I've read all of the Joe Grey Mysteries and they are excellent. You won't be disappointed. Wish your cat could talk, well these cats do and oh what a bunch they are. Exceptional felines at their best.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Cat on the edge
This is the first book in a series about 2 cats that suddenly and without explanation gain the ability to speak and read. When a human friend of theirs is murdered they set out to find the killer-as only a cat can. These are “cozies” with an edge.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Book!
The murders in this series of books aren’t horribly graphic, but they’re never the scene of a joke or treated lightly! However, some of the side stories are amusing. Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s series is peopled with real people who have problems, & some of them also have friends to turn to. Without giving away the part of these books that requires the most imagination, & gave me a few laughs, I’ll just say, be willing to suspend judgment until the end & see how you feel about the whole work then. Good reading to you!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
