β¦ Synopsis
From Booklist
Im a cop in cat skin, working undercover. So says dedicated feline detective Joe Grey just before setting off to search a suspects condo, in this solid fourteenth entry in Murphys popular mystery series. This time Joes gruff but lovable housemate, Clyde, is on his honeymoon and thus not around to scold Joe for poking his paws into police business, leaving Joe free to investigate a skeleton found in some local ruins and a missing-persons case. The murders are even less of a focus than usual in this long-running cozy series; instead, the mystery of the wild talking cats and their connection with the ruins take up much of the storyline. Even so, this is still a quality mystery, with excellent pacing, ratcheting tension, consistent characters, and suitably nasty villians. The new developments in the story of the talking cats will please many series fans but may not make much sense to new readers. A must wherever the series has fans. --Jessica Moyer
