Cat Chase the Moon

A Joe Grey Mystery

By: Shirley Rousseau Murphy

Narrated by: Susan Boyce

Feline P. I. Joe Grey and his friends pounce on three investigations that may connect to one larger mystery—including one case that is very personal—in this hair-raising installment in Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s beloved, award-winning series.

Joe Grey and his partner, Dulcie, are frantic when Courtney, their pretty teen-kitten goes missing. Aided by their two- and four-legged friends, they hit the streets of Molina Point in search of their calico girl. Has Joe Grey and Dulcie’s only daughter been lured away by someone and stolen? Is she lying somewhere hurt, or worse?

Courtney has no idea that everyone is desperately looking for her. Locked in an upstairs apartment above the local antiques shop, she’s enjoying her first solo adventure. When she first met Ulrich Seaver, the shop’s owner, Courtney was frightened. But the human has coddled and pampered her, winning her trust. Sheltered by her parents, her brothers, and her kind human companions, the innocent Courtney is unaware of how deceptive strangers can be. She doesn’t know that Ulrich is hiding a dangerous secret that could threaten her and everyone in this charming California coastal village.

With his focus on finding Courtney, Joe Grey has neglected his detective work with the Molina Point Police Department. Before his daughter disappeared, Joe found a viciously beaten woman lying near the beach. Now the police investigation has stalled, and the clever feline worries his human colleagues may have missed a vital clue. Joe is also concerned about a family of newcomers whose domestic battles are disturbing the town’s tranquility. Loud and abrasive, the Luthers’ angry arguing, shouting, and swearing in the early hours of the night have neighbors on edge and the cops on alert. One of the couple’s late-night shouting matches masked the sounds of a burglary, and now a criminal is on the loose.

Though the crimes are as crisscrossed as the strands of a ball of yarn, Joe Grey’s cat senses tell him they may somehow be linked. It’s up to the fleet-footed feline and his crime-solving coterie to untangle the mysteries before it’s too late.

Very Enjoyable

Every one of the Joe Gray mysteries has been fun, interesting , and an easy listen.

i loved this series from beginning to end 😻💗

it's just sad that it's over! if only there was some one or some Way to carry on Ms Murphy's amazing legacy! I'll have to be content in my thoughts of all the cats might do in the future, and hope that when Max finds out the truth, he's accepting, and not angry with his friends=) just really sad that this is the last...
😻💖😻💗😻💖😻

Lovely story

I am always entertained with these amazing cat stories. Wonderful and magical creatures. Heart warming stories.

delightful series

Although each book can be read alone, they are so much better if you read the series. Joe Grey is a talking cat who solves mysteries and cares about justice. Him, his other cat friends, the other family animals, and their humans are written very well and I see them all in my head as I listen to their tales. I enjoy the narrator too. The author introduces lots of new characters along with some from the previous stories to make each story different but yet feel you would know these types of people and that villians do exist amongst us.

Thanks to Shirley Rousseau Murphy and Susan Boyce
