First the large, powerful feline discovers that, through some strange, inexplicable phenomenon, he now has the ability to understand human language. Then he discovers he can speak it as well! It’s a nightmare for a cat who’d prefer to sleep the day away carefree, but Joe can handle it. That is, until he has the misfortune to witness a murder in the alley behind Jolly’s Deli - and worse, to be seen witnessing it. With all of his nine lives suddenly at risk, Joe’s got no choice but to get to the bottom of the heinous crime - because his mouse-hunting days are over for good unless he can help bring a killer to justice.

What fun to discover this series! Joe Grey, a tom cat, belonging to Clyde Damon was the unfortunate witness to a murder behind the deli near their house. The phenomenon immediately caused Joe to be able to speak, read and write HUMAN language! Unbeknownst to Joe, another cat, Dulcie, has also witnessed the crime. Dulcie belongs to Clyde’s friend, Wilma Getz. And worst of all, the murderer saw the two cats . . . and he KNOWS!!! He understands their secret . . . but how??? This weirdly wonderful tale and the perfect narration by Susan Boyce is escapism at its best! Joy Grey calls Clyde on the phone and tells him that he’s on the run and will come home when he can. Of course, Clyde thinks he’s going nuts. Joe Grey and Dulcie stay one step ahead of the murderer, whilst trying to discover the motive, when they discover ANOTHER cat . . . but this one has the ability to SHAPE SHIFT! I am not usually a fan of the outlandish, but this book . . . and series is an exception . . . I’m not at all sure that I’d feel that way if I were reading it in print, but the Audible version is not to be missed . . . what a ride! Don’t miss it! This listen is for adults, but not overly explicit! Crime solving cats. Can’t wait for the next book.

I enjoyed this book very much.
Talking cats try to solve a murder mystery, saving their skin and protecting their human friend. I listened to the book because it’s in the free audiobook catalog and my expectation for it was not that high. However, I found it a rather pleasant surprise. A cute and interesting mystery, and I would like to recommend it.

I was iffy at first but folklore was introduced which changed my thought of silliness to you never know with folklore. Tommy Knocker to Fairies to cats. Look forward to the other books.

Good first story.

It's a clever book. I loved this book. it is written from a cat's perspective. Maybe you need to be an animal lover. or have you ever wondered what cats think? well here it is... .I loved the fanciful ideas from the first few sentences. they're like teasers to your imagination. the author described thoughts that a cat may think versus human thoughts. it is clever and ingenious. Other authors have tried but this writer gets you hooked with the first 3 or 4 lines. As you listen, the paragraphs pull you in as she elaborates on the Joe Grey, the cat's views of his human. As time goes on the cat's ideas are funny, how he describes his owner's behavior - the cat does not want to be human... he's happy as a feline 🐈

Wonderful creative book

I listened to this thinking I wanted something surface that I could listen to while I sewed. And it was exactly that, it was cute and kept my attention. I would listen to another one. It wasn’t real in depth or anything so you could follow along while doing something else easily

Cute
