Book Description:

Mrs. Murphy digs into Virginia history -- and gets her paws on a killer.

The most popular citizen of Virginia has been dead for nearly 170 years.  That hasn't stopped the good people of tiny Crozet, Virginia, from taking pride in every aspect of Thomas Jefferson's life.  But when an archaeological dig of the slave quarters at Jefferson's home, Monticello, uncovers a shocking secret, emotions in Crozet run high -- dangerously high.

The stunning discovery at Monticello hints a hidden passions and age-old scandals.  As postmistress Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen and some of Crozet's Very Best People try to learn the identity of a centuries-old skeleton -- and the reason behind the murder -- Harry's tiger cat, Mrs.  Murphy, and her canine and feline friends attempt to sniff out a modern-day killer.  Mrs. Murphy and corgi Tee Tucker will stick their paws into the darker mysteries of human nature to solve murders old and new -- before curiosity can kill the cat--and Harry Haristeen.

Another delightful mystery with two cats and a dog working along with the humans. Weaved throughout the story is historical information about Jefferson and his descendants.

This is pretty good of it's type. Personally, I prefer more action and blood, but it's worth reading.

Another great Mrs. Murphy Series. I love them all!! This is one of my favorites, as it has intersting facts on Monticello, and Jefferson's Life and family. This was topical when it was written, as it alludes to Sally Hemmings, thought to be Jefferson's African American Mistress.
