Review
"Mrs. Murphy is [a] cat who detects her way into our hearts."--"San Francisco Chronicle & Examiner Book Review"

Synopsis
The uncannily perceptive feline, Mrs. Murphy, detects a pattern to the murders claiming the inhabitants of tiny Crozet, Virginia, which seem to be linked to a hoax in the obituary department of the local newspaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a well written novel. I couldn't put it down!, 1 April 1999
By A Customer
I think that Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown really out did themselves on this one.I loved this book,more than any other in the Mrs.Murphy series.I could relate alot better to "Murder on the Prowl"seeing as I'm 18 years old and this one had a wider cast of younger members.I think anyone who enjoys mysteries,young or old,will appriciate this one,and enjoy it just as much!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown are a PURR-fect team!, 10 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie brown make the purr-fect team in writting adventurous mysteries! If you like thrilling mysterys where to the last page you are trying to figure out who the attacker was then you will love any one of the books in this series. Tee-tucker, Pewter, Mrs. Murphy are just a step ahead of Harry and would do anything to protect their "mother".

5.0 out of 5 stars A really fun to read mystery, 3 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder on the Prowl (Hardcover)
In Cozet, Virginia, the best kept secret is that all the animals fully comprehend English to the point of being able to talk to each other and read the language. Humans are unaware of this ability. When the headmaster of a local school, a film director, and a female assistant are all murdered, Mary Minor "Harry" Harristeen and her two cats (Mrs. Murphy and Pewter) and her dog (Tucker), independently investigate the killings.

Rita Mae Brown with the help from her own feline, Sneaky Pie Brown, demonstrates why she is such a popular author. She creates an exciting mystery series that deftly anthropomorphizes animals so that readers believe in the fantasy world she has devised. MURDER ON THE PROWL is a particularly well constructed mystery that is a brilliant blending of The Lady And The Tramp with Ms. Jessica Fletcher.
