    An "R" Rated Book with an entertaining Mystery

    Be prepared for lots of obscenities peppered throughout the book, with the favored being the "F" word uttered by most of the main characters, including Harry. Even Mrs Murphy (yes, the cat), curses toward the end by exclaiming "Holy S--t!"

    The language is so unnecessary and does detract from an entertaining who-done-it. The book is plotted well and gives a view of small town life, even with the grisley murders.

    Read with Caution - RE: Very disturbing use of language

    This book is for readers that love animal mysteries and do not care about bad language. The book could have been much more enjoyable if it wasn't for bad choices in verbage! The Cat Who: (Lilian Jackson Braun) books were GREAT animal mysteries and did not include the horrible language choices. RITA NEEDS TO TAKE A LESSON FROM THESE! Due to this I probably will not read any more of Rita Mae Brown's books. I would not recommend this for Book Club discussions

    Enjoyed it!

    Being a South Central Virginia native, I really enjoyed the references to the area that I am familiar with, but whether you are from VA or not, I enjoyed this first book in the series. I love the characters and the plot, a all in all good mystery. I look forward to reading more of these.

    A fun introduction to the series.

    This was a fun, light story which convinced me to purchase the entire series to take overseas with other books in my Nook. Enjoyable easy reading.

    Love Mysteries

    I first got hook by the movie that was put out 13 years ago " Murder She Purred" with Ricki Lake. How the author makes the animals speak of their human owner. I did like reading the book, although Rita Mae Brown could do with less swearing. I give it 3 stars because of the swearing. It would have been more enjoyable with out it.

    GOOD BOOK

    This novel was said to be 'Rambunctious and Wacky' as said by the Los Angeles Times. This book is excellent in many ways but mostely with the cat, Mrs. Murphy and the dog, Tee Tucker. Mrs. Murphy is a sassy cat that loves to get her way and be the brains of the opperation. Then there is Tee Tucker who is always have her fun spoiled by Mrs. Murphy. This is a good book for anyone who is interested in a book with some very interesting things happening throughout there town. (ans a murder!)
