Publisher Description
Best-selling authors Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown are everybody's favorite human/feline writing team. In this warm-hearted puzzler, "Mary Minor Harry" Haristeen is preparing for her 20th high school reunion when trouble comes to the seemingly sleepy town of Crozet, Virginia. It all begins when classmates receive anonymous letters with a simple message: "You'll never get old." Some take the note as a compliment, others think it's a harmless practical joke. But when the class womanizer turns up dead, the message suddenly has a far more sinister meaning. Can Mrs. Murphy, Harry's sleuthing cat, sniff out the killer? Listeners will delight as Mrs. Murphy, with assistance from her four-legged companions Pewter the cat and Tee Tucker the Welsh corgi, scratch through the clues. Kate Forbes' charming narration captures the unique spirit of each character, whether human, feline, or canine.

"A fun read, with the main character's 3 pets 'talking' and helping through the murder investigations. Something different and highly entertaining if you enjoy domestic pets and what they might say of us humans and what we get up to!"
— Louisa (4 out of 5 stars)

" The weakest of this series. Harry is out of character and the serious crime this is all in reaction to is treated with a knd of "boys will be boys" nonchalance. Not great. "
