Synopsis

Ever since the earthquake, things have been going from bad to worse in Molena Point, usually the most tranquil little town on the North California coast. It started with that suspicious "accident" on Hellhag Hill. The police might write it off to the night fog, but Joe Grey knows a cut brake line when he sees it—he may be a cat, but he's already solved more murders than your average police detective! Then there's Clyde, Joe's erratic but loveable human. He thinks cats should stay out of police work (as if humans could handle it on their own!), and to make his point, he's locking Joe and his lady friend Dulcie out of the house when Officer Harper comes over to play poker. But Joe isn't about to give up the chase. Not until the "ghost" of Hellhag Hill is tracked down and brought to justice.

There's been an earthquake at Molina Point and everyone is on edge including Joe and Dulce. There's been a suspicious accident on Hellhag Hill. Joe knows it wasn't an accident but no one will believe him especially his human. The police want to write it off as it being foggy that night. Joe knows a c......more

Goodreads review by Crystal on May 18, 2019

I loved reading this book with my young son who has developed a love a cats since we had one join our family several years ago. I've had to develop voices for the many characters, including Joe Grey. THAT is tough. But we get to bond over reading the book and learning about the characters and seeing......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on December 12, 2024

An amusing mystery because the greatest sleuths are talking cats that poke fun at the paltry intelligence of the humans assigned to solve the murders that occur. The cats don't want it widely known that they can speak, so they have to deliver their insights as phone callers with anonymous tips. Look......more

Goodreads review by Amy on September 14, 2023

The talking-cats premise is so silly but I kind of love it anyway. I especially like that the book is almost exclusively told from a limited-omniscient viewpoint of the cats. (I think two chapters were a human perspective). There is occasionally really lovely prose. Nice reminders in the plot/charac......more
