Cat Striking Back

Joe Grey Mystery, Book 15

By: Shirley Rousseau Murphy

Narrated by: Susan Boyce

On a lovely moonlit night, while carrying a gift of mice to a litter of kittens, Joe Grey stumbles upon a murder scene. Behind an empty house, in an empty swimming pool, there’s blood, the smell of human death, and drag marks. But there’s no victim—and it’s hard to prove a crime without a corpse.

Driven by stubborn feline curiosity, Joe Grey sets out to investigate. With Dulcie and Kit following him along a killer’s trail, Joe discovers evidence of conflict among the residents of this seemingly peaceful neighborhood—multiple signs of breaking-and-entering, with nothing of value stolen. And they find something far worse: hints of violence yet to come—and more planned murder.

With the help of local ferals, Joe, Kit, and Dulcie must now thwart a killer using the most unorthodox means at their disposal: a criminal’s unnatural yet powerful fear of cats.

Another good story

Enjoyable as all the previous ones in the ongoing saga of sentient cats and their people!

cats. gotta love em

smart talking cats. I love this series. excellent work. Susan Boyce does a good job with the narration

enchanting mystery story

Joe Grey, a talking cat, with his other two cat pals are still sticking their noses in every crime in their small town. A very entertaining and original story with great characters make this series a fun easy read.

Trigger warning

While just as wonderful as the rest of the series, this particular book should come with a trigger warning. The violent death of a young cat is rather graphically described. This may be traumatic for more sensitive readers. Beyond that, the story is well written, and beautifully performed as usual.

love these cats

Simply love the cats and the mysteries her books are awesome. Thank you 😊
