A Mrs. Murphy Mystery Book Review

I recently read this absolutely wonderful mystery by Rita Mae Brown and her cat Sneaky Pie Brown entitled Puss 'n Cahoots. Harry Haristeen and her cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter along the dog Tucker solve yet another fun mystery. This time the crimes take place in Kentucky Horse county at a saddlebred horse show in Shelbyville, Kentucky.

Read on to find out about this delightful light-hearted mystery novel and the main characters of the book.

Editorial Reviews Mrs. Murphy Mystery

Puss 'n Cahoots

Although this is the 15th Mrs. Murphy mystery, it was the first for me to read. I found it a fun and light reading experience and thoroughly enjoyed the characters. The cat sleuths, Mrs. Murphy and Pewter along with the Corgi Tucker help the human sleuth Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen find the clues and solve the mysteries that occur in Shelbyville, Kentucky at a saddlebred horse show. One of the villains is a despicable monkey named Miss Nasty who just brings more humor to the book. The animals were clearly the most delightful part of the book for me and I will probably never look at my own cats the same again. It is an easy read and will be enjoyed most whole heartedly by any cat lover and owner. I plan to read more of the Mrs. Murphy Mystery books in the future! I've become her newest fan.
