Gather Cat Laughing Last (Joe Grey, #7) Portrayed By Shirley Rousseau Murphy Shown As Textbook
enjoyable. I wasn't sure when I began if I'd like it but, I thoroughly did, And I will be reading more of Shirley Rousseau Murphy's books, I have fallen in love with Joe, Dulcie and the adorable kit! Talking cats, theater, and murder add up to a fun, involving mystery.
Love these nonhuman sleuths! Happy reading! I really do like the little kitten that Ms, Murphy has added to the series,
This one, however, almost read like the others, Joe is getting a bit retrospective, he and Clyde are fighting more than I like, although I did like the twist in the end.
I figured out how the killer was pulling it off the first time Charlie read the book chapter you have to read the book to find out what I mean but it was still fun to see it fleshed out.
Interesting read but the cats not only talk to each other, they talk to a few people, It's too much of a stretch for my money, As Joe Grey and Dulcie stroll the streets and rooftops of Molena Point, California, they are privvy to information no human is aware of.
For you see, they are cats, Even among their own furry kind, they are unique and extraordinary, for they can speak just like human beings, Very few humans are aware of their amazing talents, as the felines strive to hide their intellectual ability, However confidential their speaking abilities may be, Joe and Dulcie are key informants to Captain Max Harper of the Molena Point Police Department.
In Joe Greys seventh adventure, the five ladies of the Senior Survival Club are working hard to raise money to put toward their goal a communal home to provide mutual security and comfort as they grow older.
They scout the yard and estate sales and offer their treasures on the Internet, Someone else must think they have something of great value when Susan Brittain finds her home broken into, and their purchases ransacked and damaged.
Later the same day, when Cora Lee French scouts a small engraved chest, the local antiques dealer rips it from her hands,
These acts may have to do with the supposedly true story upon which author Elliott Traynor has based a play to be enacted by the little theatre in Molena Point.
Traynor and his much younger wife Vivi have come to town to supervise the first performance of his play about two doomed lovers who secretly wrote each other love letters while Elliott works on his latest novel.
Elliott is far overdue on his deadline, and the pages that Joe and Dulcie read printed out in his study are woefully lacking his former capacity for writing.
Elliott and Vivi veto the local directors superior choice of Coral Lee for lead in the play in favor of Fern Barth, assistant to the antiques dealer.
Then Ferns body is found in the display window of the local consignment shop, The Pumpkin Coach, with the three small chests once on display missing or smashed.
It is revealed that chests such as these may have held the secret love letters from the true characters in Elliott Traynors play.
But do these particular chests hold any such letters It is time for Joe and Dulcie to take matters into their own paws.
A work of fiction requires a certain suspension of disbelief, and it takes skilled writing to achieve this goal, Shirley Rousseau Murphy makes the speaking and thinking abilities of the cats, well, not exactly everyday sort of normal, but somehow within the scope of reality enough to believe it could happen.
I knew I was charmed by the results when I began to look twice at my own furry pets and wonder just how much they understood what I was saying.
This ingenious idea, besides being pure feline delight to the reader, actually offers a way for us to become aware of key clues.
No human being would stroll from roof to roof and enter a home via the attic window, Through their own sleuthing skills and posing as innocent bystanders, the cats are able to gather information not available any other way and then pass that sensitive information on to police detectives.
Charming and cozy, Warm and fuzzy. Delightfully sneaky. All thoughts I was
left with at the end of this captivating tail, oops, tale, Will the Senior Survival Club find a new home suitable for all five ladies Will anyone find out that Joe and Dulcie can speak I cant wait to read their next adventure, sure it will bring purrs of delight.
