About the book

Curiosity just might be the death of Mrs. Murphy--and her human companion, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen. Small towns are like families: Everyone lives very close together. . .and everyone keeps secrets. Crozet, Virginia, is a typical small town-until its secrets explode into murder. Crozet's thirty-something post-mistress, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, has a tiger cat (Mrs. Murphy) and a Welsh Corgi (Tucker), a pending divorce, and a bad habit of reading postcards not addressed to her. When Crozet's citizens start turning up murdered, Harry remembers that each received a card with a tombstone on the front and the message "Wish you were here" on the back. Intent on protecting their human friend, Mrs. Murphy and Tucker begin to scent out clues. Meanwhile, Harry is conducting her own investigation, unaware her pets are one step ahead of her. If only Mrs. Murphy could alert her somehow, Harry could uncover the culprit before the murder occurs--and before Harry finds herself on the killer's mailing list.

Der Schreibstil war ziemlich gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber ich möchte trotzdem wissen wie es weitergeht!

As some people already pointed out, it was kind of hard to keep up with all the characters being thrown in at the beginning, but once I kept up with who was who, some of them turned out to be really interesting; I actually would have liked to learn more about some of them, but since this is the first part of a series that's alright, I guess. The animals are amazing, of course. I really liked the way they interacted (minus the part where they suddenly discuss overpopulation and the decay of humanity out of nowhere for a minute, just to throw that comment in, it seems) and especially how the humans see their behaviour and conversations in contrast - very cute, and it made me think of my own cat more than once.

"Freilich würde die gute Frau vor Schreck sterben, wenn sie jemals entdeckte, dass Gott eine Katze war und der Mensch daher überhaupt nichts zu melden hatte." 😸😸😸
