Synopsis

Joe Grey can't believe his human housemate Clyde would even consider volunteering him for the animal therapy program at the local nursing home, just when Joe was on the verge of solving the string of burglaries that has Molena Point residents shaking in their collective boots. But it turns out it's Dulcie, Joe's pretty little cat-friend, who came up with the idea of subjecting Joe to the cooing attentions of a bunch of doddering old coots. Dulcie believes there's more going on at the old folks' home than the care and feeding of lonely seniors. And she needs Joe's help in getting to the bottom of a conspiracy … and a very suspicious set of deaths.

Goodreads review by Kathleen on October 24, 2015

Pretty far fetched on this one, and I could do without the graphic details of the cats killing and eating animals -- right down to the crunching of the bones and all the blood. Yes, I realize that is realistic, but is it necessary in a cozy cat mystery which is anything but realistic? I mean we have......more

Having just read a rather depressing book, I felt the need for some light enjoyable entertainment, so who better to turn to than Joe Grey?!

Another great entry in the Joe Grey mystery series. Even when you know who the guilty party is, the details of the crime are always fresh and unexpected. The cats' personalities are both what you could imagine your cats doing and completely over the top. Joe's awareness of what is going on around hi......more

You really have to suspend your sense of reality with this series, but it's cute. The author does know ho......more
