Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisIt takes a cat to write the purr-fect mystery. Things have been pretty exciting lately in Crozet, Virginia--a little too exciting if you ask resident feline investigator Mrs. Murphy. Just as the town starts to buzz over its Civil War reenactment, a popular local man disappears. No one's seen Tommy Van Allen's single-engine plane, either--except for Mrs. Murphy, who spotted it during a foggy evening's mousing. Even Mrs. Murphy's favorite human, postmistress Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, can sense that something is amiss. But things really take an ugly turn when the town reenacts the battle of Oak Ridge--and a participant ends up with three very real bullets in his back. While the clever tiger cat and her friends sift through clues that just don't fit together, more than a few locals fear that the scandal will force well-hidden town secrets into the harsh light of day. And when Mrs. Murphy's relentless tracking places loved ones in danger, it takes more than a canny kitty and her team of animal sleuths to set things right again...., It takes a cat to write the purr-fect mystery.

This book was very different compared with the author's other books. The most fun part was how the animals manage to drive the car with injured person.
Mrs. Murphy books are always a great read! Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown are your modern day Sherlock Holmes and Watson with a funny twist! You do not want to put the book down till you find out
who Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie paw as the Killer! It's the Purr-fact Mystery!
