Synopsis

Love—and murder—are in the air.It took Joe Grey's human, Clyde Damen, nearly forever to pop the question to his girlfriend, Ryan Flannery, and what more romantic time to tie the knot than on Valentine's Day? But dark secrets from the past soon threaten to destroy everyone's happiness.First, a body discovered many miles away reopens a ten-year-old cold case involving a man who disappeared days before his own wedding. Then another body is found closer to home, on the grounds of a ruined estate, deserted save for a band of unusual feral cats.Though the police investigate, only feline sleuth Joe Grey suspects that the crimes are related. And when he barely escapes alive from a deadly chase, Joe and his friends, Dulcie and Kit, know they'll need to use their powers of feline perception to bring justice to the small town of Molena Point—and save Valentine's Day!

Goodreads review by Carol

Part of one of my favorite series. The within-book human mystery in this installment wasn't especially strong, not nearly as interesting as the cats' story that has grown throughout the Joe Grey series and Murphy's closely-related The Catswold Portal.
