Whisker of Evil Book

A mysterious death in a Virginia farm town has the locals scratching their headsâ??while frisky feline Mrs. Murphy and her friends, fat-cat Pewter and corgi Tee Tucker, uncover clues as they curl their way around a cold-blooded killer.This balmy summer in Crozet, Virginia, postmistress Mary Minor â??Harryâ? Haristeen has a lot to think about. Things have been pretty cozy between her and her ex-husband, Fair and her beloved old post office is in danger of being replaced with a modern buildingâ??and modern rules. Harryâ??s thoughtful contemplation is shattered the day she stumbles over a dead body near Potlicker Creek. Barry Monteith, the handsome local horse breeder, has been savagely murdered. A true ladiesâ?? man, Barry was known to have left a string of broken hearts behind him. But could a spurned lover be responsible for his untimely demise? The plot only thickens when an autopsy reveals that Barry was infected with rabies weeks before he was killed. As usual, Harry canâ??t resist doing a little diggingâ??with Mrs. Murphy close by to warn of approaching danger. Harry makes a remarkable discovery in the creekâ??the class ring of Mary Pat Reines, a local woman who disappeared thirty years earlier along with her prized Thoroughbred stallion. Like Barry, Mary Pat was a successful horse breederâ??and now all of Crozet is wondering if the two cases are linked. As the police struggle with the evidence, the pressure gets hotter than a June afternoonâ??especially when another person is found dead of less-than-natural causes. As usual, Mrs. Murphy and her crew are the first to sniff out the truth. But if they donâ??t find a way to help Harry piece together the puzzle, she could become the killerâ??s next targetâ??and even Mrs. Murphyâ??s slinkiest moves wonâ??t be able to save her.From the Hardcover edition.Read More
