Synopsis
It's been quite a week for Joe Grey. First the large, powerfulfeline discovers that, through some strange, inexplicable phenomenon, he now has the ability to understand human language. Then he discovers he can speak it as well! It's a nightmare for a cat who'd prefer to sleep the day away carefree, but Joe can handle it. That is, until he has the misfortune to witness a murder in the alley behind Jolly's Deli - and worse, to be seen witnessing it. With all of his nine lives suddenly at risk, Joe's got no choice but to get to the bottom of the heinous crime - because his mouse-hunting days are over for good unless he can help bring a killer to justice., The charming first book in the delightfully cozy Joe Grey Cat Mystery series. Joe--a tomcat who is suddenly able to understand humans--is the sole witness to a murder in the quaint coastal village of Carmel-by-the-Sea and finds his relaxing days of curling up and catching mice are now on the line. He thought it was a perfect crime... the only witness was a cat. It's been quite a week for Joe Grey. First, the large, silver feline is alarmed to discover, when his owner yells at him to dispose of a mouse, that he can understand human language and even more shocking, that he can speak it as well! Then he has the misfortune to witness a murder in the alley behind Jolly's Deli--and worse, to be seen witnessing it. It's all a nightmare for a cat who would prefer to sleep the day away carefree. With his nine lives suddenly at risk, Joe has no choice but to get to the bottom of the heinous crime--because his mouse-hunting days are over for good unless he can help bring a killer to justice., It's been quite a week for Joe Grey.

    This other Pokemon e-reader card I’ve received was super nice. The card was shipped in a plastic baggie, but hopefully the card is in good shape. It was also sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, too. The shipping was fair. The card looked exactly like how it was pictured on the listing. I picked out this card alongside the other e-reader card, because I wanted to order them both together. It was worth the money I’ve spent. Another cool find, indeed. Great seller!! 😁👍🏻

    Items were better than described and packed extremely well. Fast shipping. The shipping was fast- but the post office lost it for 3 weeks. The seller started an inquiry into the package and miraculously the package was found and 3 days later it was delivered. I really appreciated the sellers commitment to finding the package or what happened to it. They really went the extra mile. The jars were very nice and great zinc lids on them. I’ll purchase again from them, they are first class business.

    Great seller that took care of packaging the book in a protective way so even though it arrived later than expected, it didn't suffer any damage. The book was as described and at a fair price. Seller sent the book on time. A+

    JOE GREY MYSTERY - READ ALL OF THEM!

    If you love cats, or wonder about them, this is a series of books that will keep you entertained from beginning to end. I've read all of the Joe Grey Mysteries and they are excellent. You won't be disappointed. Wish your cat could talk, well these cats do and oh what a bunch they are. Exceptional felines at their best.

    Cat on the edge

    This is the first book in a series about 2 cats that suddenly and without explanation gain the ability to speak and read. When a human friend of theirs is murdered they set out to find the killer-as only a cat can. These are “cozies” with an edge.

    Great Book!

    The murders in this series of books aren’t horribly graphic, but they’re never the scene of a joke or treated lightly! However, some of the side stories are amusing. Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s series is peopled with real people who have problems, & some of them also have friends to turn to. Without giving away the part of these books that requires the most imagination, & gave me a few laughs, I’ll just say, be willing to suspend judgment until the end & see how you feel about the whole work then. Good reading to you!
