Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling Mrs. Murphy mysteries delight fans with an irresistible blend of suspense, engaging characters, and the entertaining hijinks of some quick-witted, four-legged friends. With more than two million copies in print, the series has made coauthors Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown the most popular human/feline writing team in the world.
The sleepy little town of Crozet, Virginia has seen its share of mischief and mayhem, but nothing like this. While visiting the Mt. Carmel monastery, Mary Minor “Harry” Haristeen witnesses a statue of the Virgin Mary cry tears of blood. Legend says this foretells crises, and soon a monk is found frozen to death near the statue. Before long the monk’s body disappears, another Crozet citizen dies, and a shocking revelation to an ages-old mystery surfaces. Thankfully, Harry and her sleuthing animals are on the case—unofficially, of course.

Cat's Eyewitness Listener Reviews

" Having read most of Rita Mae Brown's Mrs. Murphy series, I was surprised by the number of current social issues she mentioned in the "Cat's Eyewitness," too many, in fact. I also felt it was a little gorier than most books in the series. This was not my favorite "Mrs Murphy" tale. "
— Beth, 2/20/2014 -
" This book was a little confusing. I had to wade through extranious information that had nothing to do with the plot. It seemed like the author just added words to a novella to make it long enough for a novel. "
— Claudia, 2/19/2014 -
" I read these books when I don't want to do much thinking. "
— Elaine, 2/14/2014 -
" Really lame. Cats and dogs have dialogue. Just a little too cutesy for me. Also, very religious.And the murderer was obvious. "
— Janet, 2/5/2014 -
" This series of light mysteries are a delight! You miss the characters when the story ends. "
— Diane, 2/3/2014 -
" This is my first Mrs. Murphy book to read. I think I would have enjoyed it more had I started the series at the first book and worked through them in order. I found it to be enjoyable and easy to put down and come back to without having trouble following the story. "
— Nikki, 1/8/2014 -
" This series is like coming home, you know the characters almost to the point of being predictable, but the plots continue to surprise and delight. The viewpoint of the animals makes it fun and interesting. "
— Martha, 1/3/2014 -
" This book was not as good as the others. I think Rita Mae got religion. Love the animal conversations. "
— Jennifer, 1/1/2014 -
" easy summer reading. go for it, esp. under the shade of a tree with lemonade (or unsweetened iced tea) near at hand. "
— Maggie, 12/26/2013 -
" OK, I think I've had enough of these thin, dirivative cutsy-animal talking Sneaky Pie Brown books. Rita Mae Brown seems now just to be churning out Lillian Jackson Braun-level mush to keep her critters on Afton Mountain in feed. What's worse is that she can be--and has been--a brilliant writer. "
— Glenkes, 12/24/2013 -
" Maybe I've read too many cat mysteries lately. This one was a bit disappointing, but then I didn't like it when Harry left the post office. The romances started pushing aside the mystery in this one, at any rate. Ok, but not as much fun as the earlier ones. Or maybe I just don't like change! "
— Leslie, 12/23/2013 -
" A murder mystery with a cat loving sleuth. In this series the cats and dogs talk to each other. Ok, but not my favorite. Lots of pages spent on all the character's love live. language "

" These wonderful Mrs. Murphy mystery books are written from the point of view of two cats and a Welsh Corgi dog! I have read them all! "
— Mrs.Y., 10/24/2012 -
" When you pick books on CD at random from the library sometimes you get a dud. "

" Wow this book was just hilarous. Although that could be just me but I love how light hearted it is at times and serious at others it is just wonderful. "
— Hadeel, 8/16/2012 -
" Bk. #14. Harry solves a murder of a monk and the mystery of a crying statue. "

" My first Rita Mae Brown book with talking animals as well as humans. What seems like a fluffy mystery to read turned out to have lots of religious, philosophical and religious opinings which I found intrusive. I won't become one of Ms. Brown's faithful readers. "
— Rdonn, 2/17/2011 -
" This is a fun read if you are looking for something a bit whimsical even though it contains two murders. "

" Pretty good and entertaining read, although this one as much easier to figure out than most of hers, as in about halfway through. Still, it was entertaining. "
