Synopsis
In this cozy mystery, a cat pounces into sleuth mode when a cold case interrupts a wedding in a California seaside town.It took Joe Grey’s human, Clyde, nearly forever to pop the question to Ryan Flannery, and what more romantic time to tie the knot than on Valentine’s Day? But dark secrets from the past, uncovered by Joe and his feline pals, threaten to ruin the happy union.First, a body discovered many miles away reopens a ten-year-old cold case involving a man who disappeared days before his own wedding. The jilted bride is back in town and eager to find the truth . . . or to hide evidence of her own wrongdoing. Trouble is, she’s soon involved with Ryan’s father, who is house-sitting and preparing meals for Joe Grey while Clyde and Ryan are on their honeymoon.Then another body is found closer to home on the grounds of a ruined estate, deserted save for a band of unusual feral cats. Around the wrist of the corpse is a bracelet bearing the image of a rearing cat, and the cats discover a rare literary volume hidden nearby that divulges their own secret: their special ability to speak.But as the police investigate the two murders, located more than five hundred miles apart, only Joe Grey suspects that the crimes are related. It takes a chase from which the tomcat wonders if he’ll emerge alive for anyone to hone in on the connection between the murders. Finally, feline perception and cop sense combine to bring a killer to justice in this delightful new tale involving Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s three amazing cats.Praise for Cat Playing Cupid“Murphy's gentle blend of fantasy and mystery includes revelations about her unusually verbal cat detectives sure to please series fans.” —Publishers Weekly“Murphy’s feline-loving fans will enjoy the latest in her long-running series.” —Kirkus Reviews
