Book Review of Wish You Were Here / Rest in Pieces / Murder at Monticello (Mrs. Murphy, Bks 1 - 3)

reviewed on + 260 more book reviews


Who better to cowrite a popular mystery series about a clever Virginia woman and her wise and willful tiger cat than best-selling author Rita Mae Brown and her own favorite feline, Sneaky Pie Brown? This disarming duo serves up plenty of murder, intrigue, humor and suspense.
Mrs. Murphy, a cunning cat who likes a good mystery, is the star of this feline crime-solver series. Her human companion is "Harry" Haristeen, the postmistress for the small Virginia town of Crozet. In the course of these three adventures a serial killer, a money-hungry imposter, and a twisted gunman each discover they are no match for the intrepid Mrs. Murphy, her pal Tee Tucker (a helpful Welsh Corgi), and their brave biped chort, Harry. Anyone who enjoys a clever cat or a first-rate detective story will want to keep this exclusive QPB 3-in-1 edition within arms reach until the last grisly clue has been unearthed and the miscreants exposed.
