About this ebook
It's been quite a week for Joe Grey. First the large, powerfulfeline 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.

Intriguing start to a solid cozy mystery series. It's slower than the rest of the series, but the pace is mainly due to it being the first volume. There's a nice fae quality to some parts of it without the otherworldly elements swallowing the book whole. I've read the series in parts or as a whole three times over the years, and it's still my favorite in the genre. The overarching plot is unique, and the characters are quirky but not over the top. The setting is beautiful and I always close the books feeling refreshed.

Excellent insight into cat behaviour. Enjoyed it immensely as we did two others we have read and look forward to reading more.
