Curiosity just might be the death of Mrs. Murphy - and her human companion, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen. Small towns are like families: Everyone lives very close together. . .and everyone keeps secrets. Crozet, Virginia, is a typical small town - until its secrets explode into murder. Crozet's thirty-something post-mistress, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, has a tiger cat (Mrs. Murphy) and a Welsh Corgi (Tucker), a pending divorce, and a bad habit of reading postcards not addressed to her.

When Crozet's citizens start turning up murdered, Harry remembers that each received a card with a tombstone on the front and the message "Wish you were here" on the back. Intent on protecting their human friend, Mrs. Murphy and Tucker begin to scent out clues.

Meanwhile, Harry is conducting her own investigation, unaware her pets are one step ahead of her. If only Mrs. Murphy could alert her somehow, Harry could uncover the culprit before the murder occurs - and before Harry finds herself on the killer's mailing list.

What did you like best about Wish You Were Here? What did you like least?

This book is easy to listen so if one is distracted for a moment, one doesn't lose the plot.However, thinking and talking animals are not my thing.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Kate Forbes?

Narration was decent.

Fluff Mystery

Rita Mae Brown narrating would have made this book even better. No disrespect to the reader but RMB is really all that. This book is a great introduction to a lovely series.

This was a fantastic listen . The story was engaging and even quite poignant at times. I loved hearing all of the scandals that went around Crozet and meeting all of the characters - each with their own distinct voice in the story. Mrs. Murphy and Tucker stole the show, of course, and I loved the asides with them talking to each other and trying to get Harry to listen. I also loved loved LOVED that Harry was in her early 30s and not younger, so refreshing!

Wonderful Cozy Mystery with protagonist over the age of 20

I’m sure this is a good story, but has a lot of foul language that I don’t care to hear.

Foul language

I just discovered this series and it is mostly enjoyable. The small town atmosphere with a mystery, plus adorable and funny animals to guide the plot. The only off putting thing was the animals speaking profanity to each other. I chose to overlook it and just enjoy the story.

The animals are the real stars here from the clever Mrs Murphy to spunky Tee Tucker, and my favourite, "the fat buddha", Pewter. Even Paddy the tuxedo is fun to listen to. I liked the delving into the main character's divorce and was surprised by the reveal of the mystery. I am already on to book two and plan to read/listen to the whole series.

Good start to the series

It's great even the second time around. I think I shall listen to my Scottie more closely after this.
These books are great! Lots of humor along with a suspenseful mystery. Love the animals and how they try so hard to communicate with their humans.

The dog and cat trying to solve the mystery was adorable and fun to listen to. Parts of the story held my attention, but I wasn't prepared for so much of the book to be centered on the main character's divorce. I just don't care about her failing marriage. I wanted more of a Miss Marple style mystery, so maybe I didn't enjoy it because my expectations were off. I found myself way more interested in Ms Murphy and Tucker than any of the humans in the story. The narrator did a great job, and I think if she hadn't been reading it I would have tuned out already.

No one cares about the humans
