"Same characters as her other books..delightful cats and dog. All the clues were there for the mystery to be figured out...a little darker because it was high school students in trouble. But still a good read."
— Natalie (4 out of 5 stars)
" This book explained more about the town's high school students. I enjoy how each book is a different perspective of the town. "
— Kim, 2/17/2014" Mrs Murphy the cat, dan sahabat-sahabat Mrs Murphy (Tee Tucker dan si pemalas Pewter) membantu Harry memecahkan pembunuhan di kota kecilnya. "
— mina, 1/20/2014" Cute book - the cats and dogs can understand the people and talk to each other. So, they have the advantage in solving the mystery. Otherwise, the story was overly tedious and the characters not that interesting. "
— Tracy, 1/20/2014" Good, fun, light read. I'm enjoying this series--I'm a sucker for talking animals & mysteries. "
— Amanda, 12/14/2013" Couldn't keep track of all the characters on the audio book. "
— Odetta, 12/14/2013" Someone is placing obituaries in the newspaper for proplr who are still living. Then they are murdered shortly afterwards. The story development is slow and the numerous conversations between animals is distracting and not related. "
— Fredrick, 12/11/2013" This book kept me interested in it to the vey last page.It was well written.I liked this one a lot. "
— Dawn, 12/10/2013" Another quick read and a good mystery. "
— Roxann, 10/27/2013" meh. I realized halfway through I'd already read this. The books are becoming very formulaic, and I've decided just to give up on the series. "
— Ellen, 9/19/2013" This book kept me interested in it to the vey last page.It was well written.I liked this one a lot. "
— Pearl, 6/7/2013" I love these books for the times when you need something light and funny to read. Having 4 cats and 1 dog, I truly believe they speak to one another and probably think we are pretty dumb sometimes. "
— Susan, 9/1/2012" What a delightful book! I loved Mrs. Murphy, Tucker, Pewter and their friends! They are so smart! Ihope to read more in this series. "
— Sarahb., 6/23/2012" This began brilliantly. However the ending was a bit trite, and the mystery was easy to discover on your own. Since I am an animal lover, I found the dialogue between them delightful. "
— Paula, 6/3/2012" Book 6 in the series. Same characters. A little darker because the murder involved teens. "
— Kaye, 3/2/2012" Ditto for #6. Enjoyable read, characters. Sort of like hearing from a friend of a friend. "
— MJ, 2/9/2012" It was a really busy month, which means it's time for.....animal themed murder mysteries! I liked this at the time, but entering these reviews in 2010, I do not remember one iota of any of the plot. Good brainless reading. "
— Virginia, 10/14/2011" I didn't like this one quite as well..little bit darker and less "homey" feeling. Ending was a trifle sad, a bit predictable, and a but of a cop out. "
— Elizabeth, 9/23/2011" Same old, same old. I enjoy these books and I would miss the characters if I didn't visit them occasionally. "
