Pawing Through the Past

By: Rita Mae Brown

Narrated by: Kate Forbes

In this warm-hearted puzzler, "Mary Minor Harry" Haristeen is preparing for her 20th high school reunion when trouble comes to the seemingly sleepy town of Crozet, Virginia. It all begins when classmates receive anonymous letters with a simple message: "You'll never get old." Some take the note as a compliment, others think it's a harmless practical joke. But when the class womanizer turns up dead, the message suddenly has a far more sinister meaning. Can Mrs. Murphy, Harry's sleuthing cat, sniff out the killer? Listeners will delight as Mrs. Murphy, with assistance from her four-legged companions Pewter the cat and Tee Tucker the Welsh corgi, scratch through the clues. Kate Forbes' charming narration captures the unique spirit of each character, whether human, feline, or canine.Hear talking cat-sleuth Mrs. Murphy in these other mysteries from Rita Mae Brown.©2000 Rita Mae Brown (P)2004 Recorded Books, LLC

Critic reviews

"Brown's appealing sense of humor, well-constructed setting and competent plotting carry the day. Her talking, thinking animals are funny and, for those who like this sort of thing, even adorable." (Publishers Weekly)

One of the best Mrs Murphy mysteries!

I am a big fan of this series by Rita Mae Brown. This story and book in particular was one of my favorites. It was suspenseful until the very end and it keeps the reader engaged in "whodunnit?" mode. I was so engrossed all the way and would rewind and listen in case I missed some details. Kate Forbes is a marvelous narrator and the only one I like for this series!
