About Author

Shirley Rousseau Murphy says of her Joe Grey cat mysteries, "Joe and Dulcie set the mood by granting me rare glimpses into the feline world. I see the room from beneath the furniture; I remember Egypt and witchcraft; the scream of a skewered mouse is as music.... These cats are not cute, Joe Grey is not your sweet natured kitty. Joe's detecting skills run to swift action and to picking up classified information from Police Chief Max Harper as Joe lounges on the poker table ... the gray tomcat is a devotee of the cutting retort and the sneaky surveillance technique." --Mystery Scene.
