Cat Breaking Free: A Joe Grey Mystery (Joe Grey Mysteries)
Murphy's 11th Joe Grey cat cozy (afterCat Cross Their Graves) offers the usual winning blend of suspense and whimsy. A feral cat, a mauled and very dead motorcyclist in a ravine and a series of boutique robberies bode ill for Joe's human companion, Clyde Damen; Clyde's feisty new building contractor girlfriend, Ryan Flannery; and the other residents of scenic Molena Point, Calif. It's largely up to those incorrigible feline snoops and snitches&mdash;Joe and buddies Dulcie and Kit, who cavort over the rooftops at night and eat the best of restaurant food&mdash;to thwart a gang of thieves from Los Angeles hiding out in the nearby hills. A complex, well-crafted plot and lively, credible characters will leave fans purring with pleasure.(Dec.)Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
