Filled with frisky pets and fine suspense, the Mrs. Murphy mysteries are instant New York Times best sellers. Fans love the sleuthing team of spunky postmistress "Harry" Harristeen and Mrs. Murphy, her savvy tiger stripe cat.

When a phony obituary for the headmaster of St. Elizabeth's School appears in the local newspaper, the people of Crozet, Virginia are surprised, but not too concerned. For a small town, Crozet has more than its share of mischief. But when a second fake obituary is followed by a murder, local police are baffled. Now Mrs. Murphy knows she must help Harry discover the killer.

With twists and turns aplenty, and enough colorful characters to fill a dozen whodunits, Murder on the Prowl will satisfy all mystery lovers. Narrator Kate Forbes provides the perfect voices for Harry, Mrs. Murphy, and their two- and four-footed friends.

I loved this book-- but then I love all the books written by Sneaky Pie Brown! The residents of Crozet are delightful and one feels attached to certain characters right away while others take a little more time to develop. Harry, as always, is a font of curiosity. Her independent nature is softened by her reluctant vulnerability. My favorite part of the book, of course, involves the furry stars and their close brush with the bobcat. Mrs. Murphy's clever interaction with the young fox plays in nicely!

Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and T. Tucker rock!

I was told i would like these books due to cozy and calm. I have to say it is true. I love the interaction, the narrator and the loving kids. Puter makes me laugh. I have a male version! Excellent story. They last about two days at work so it is a bargain.

very enjoyable

I love these books and the narrator but this book just seemed to drag on and on. I was a bit disappointed in it..

Drawn out

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

In short: no. Sadly, while I've very much enjoyed the Mrs Murphy series up until this point, this book rubbed me the wrong way.

What was most disappointing about Rita Mae Brown’s story?

The most I can say without getting too spoilery is that the incredible amount of victim blaming in this book left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Have you listened to any of Kate Forbes’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes! Kate Forbes's performance is flawless as usual.

Was Murder on the Prowl worth the listening time?

For me, it wasn't. If you're a fan of the series, give it a listen, but be prepared to be left feeling uneasy, and maybe even angry, instead of satisfied with the grand reveal.

Underwhelming and kind of insulting.
