Book Description:
Aging film star Patty Rose came to Molena Point, California, to enjoy her golden years running an inn. She didn't come there to be murdered. But it's Patty's body a cat named Kit discovers after hearing three shots fired. And the curious tortoiseshell has already scampered off to investigate when the police arrive -- followed by Kit's cat friends Joe Grey and Dulcie.
Joe is certain Kit's heading for big trouble. But Dulcie has troubles of her own, namely helping to hide a young runaway girl in the local library ... a child who may be tied into a grisly and terrifying scenario connected to the actress' slaying. Then a kidnapping and the shocking discovery of hidden graves raise the stakes -- and the inquisitive feline trio will have to work quickly to claw out the truth and end the nightmare that has the devastated community reeling.

Molena Point, California is an affluent community and proud of it's retired film star, Patty Rose. When Patty is murdered, the only witness is Kit, a tortoiseshell cat. Fortunately, Kit can talk--and dial the phone. Unfortunately, she doesn't get a good look at the killer--she's got to follow him and get the evidence. With Kit vanished, fellow talking cats Joe Grey and Dulcie worry--but Joe Grey has another worry--Dulcie has been keeping secrets from him. Could another Tom have moved into town?
The day after Patty is murdered, a woman's group turns up a child's skeleton--and evidence of more murder. And runaway child Lori hides in a secret basement under the library and worries about the strange twist in her father's reaction to her and about the dangerous people out there.
Author Shirley Rousseau Murphy tells a dark tale of murder--both recent and in the past. Once again, the three talking cats manage to do most of the detecting--informing the police by calling line-ID protected phones. Because although Patty is dead, the murderer(s) may be seeking more victims.
CAT CROSS THEIR GRAVES is not the usual fluffy cat mystery. Its darker themes of endangered children, deranged religious fanatics, and over-possessive paternal love are certain to disturb the reader. But the clever cats offset the dark tone and provide plenty of hope. Murphy's strong writing keeps the reader invested in the story and the cats are developing into fairly complex and three-dimensional characters.
That talking cat, Joe Grey, and his girlfriend, Dulcie, residing in Molena Point, California solve another mystery. In this one they help solve the murder of an aging film star while finding ways to keep all their friends out of trouble.
