5.0 out of 5 stars Like the Everready rabbit, this series is going stronger, 31 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Joe Grey and Dulcie, direct descendants of ancient Celtic cats, discuss last night's robbery that is in the newspaper. The two felines worry that a new resident, Azrael the cat, is the evil mastermind behind some recent crimes. Azrael, who also can talk, informs Joe and Dulcie that the break-in is nothing. Furthermore, he states that three people will soon be murdered. The prediction turns out to be true.

Much to the chagrin of Joe's human companion, the cats begin to investigate. However, Dulcie has personal problems to deal with too. Her human companion has some wanted and some unwanted company staying with them and the new librarian wants Dulcie barred from the facility where she obtains much joy from reading. The cats concentrate on the killings, honing in on Azrael's missing human friend even as they remain wary of the evil feline. They know that they must quickly solve the case before Joe and Dulcie end up in "holy catastrophe" (To Julie Newmar from Robin).

With her fourth "Cat" novel, Shirley Rousseau Murphy demonstrates that she has the feline touch. CAT IN THE DARK briskly moves forward and the cats are brilliantly different and nicely developed characters, who are totally unlike their sleuthing peers. The well-written mystery will leave readers ultimately to feel that Ms. Murphy is paying homage to her cats.

5.0 out of 5 stars New star to add to Mrs Murphy/Ko-Ko & Yum Yum, 20 April 2002
By Mrs. Sheila M. H. Baggott "SheCat" (Bromsgrove, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cat in the Dark (Joe Grey Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Joe Gray is something else in the way of catly communication. After being enthralled by the deeds of KoKo and progressing to Mrs Murphy just recently, Joe Gray and his lady Dulcie give one much to think about. Using their superb senses and extra special gift of speech, the dynamic duo give battle to the dark force of Azrael and his nasty ways and in doing so solve the murders of an investment broker and other victims. The writer holds you on the edge of your seat! A long-time lover of everything feline and cat sleuths in particular, I found this book a good read and a worthy competitor to both of my previous favourites, each has something a little different to offer and I now find it hard to declare a winner. The Joe Gray books are definitely out of the ordinary and well worth a discerning readers' effort.
