Cat Raise the Dead

A Joe Grey Mystery, Book 3

Joe Grey can't believe his human housemate, Clyde, would even consider volunteering him for the Animal Therapy program at the local nursing home - just when Joe was on the verge of solving the string of burglaries that has Molena Point residents shaking in their collective boots. But it turns out it's Dulcie, Joe's pretty little cat-friend, who came up with the idea of subjecting Joe to the cooing attentions of a bunch of doddering old coots. Dulcie believes there's more going on at the old folks' home than the care and feeding of lonely seniors. And she needs Joe's help in getting to the bottom of a conspiracy…and a very suspicious set of deaths.

brilliant author, she will definitely increase your vocabulary. favorite word from story, incongruous. Google it

Excellent

Very entertaining! Love the book and the narrator! Would highly recommend to cat and mystery lovers.

Fun read

The cats hunting details were a bit too much, i.e. the all too descriptive eating their prey just a too over the top! Otherwise a good story.

Another Joe Grey delight

Would you consider the audio edition of Cat Raise the Dead to be better than the print version?

Heck no! It's just different. The reader brings each character to life with a light touch and lets the story tell itself. A good book "read" to you is always a pleasure. Anyway, if you want to read the paperback version you just grab your copy instead!

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of the cat characters are a real pleasure - my heart belongs to Dulcie though! The author knows her cats and as long as you don't freak out about talking cats the book characters are all a real pleasure.

What does Susan Boyce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The pleasure of a good voice reading my favourite books. Her light touch and restrained delivery mean I can enjoy the book knowing I will hear the story and enjoy it, no 'over the top' weird voices just subtle characterisations that indicate the person or cat, and the confidence a good story teller brings to the job.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Every Joe Grey book is! When I finish I can always listen again!

Any additional comments?

It is great to see the Joe Grey books published on audio at last. I have read all the books and greatly enjoy 'hearing' them again. The reader is first rate and this fan is very happy. Thank you Audible and Susan Boyce (reader)

Good book, much better than book 2.

I got interested in this story line early and enjoyed it. I let go of ny suppositions of what cats know or don't know I just went without questioning it too much... it was a lovely story.
