Barbara (stitch0852) reviewed First in the Mrs. Murphy Series on 1/21/2009 + 9 more book reviews

When postcards of cemeteries arrive with "wish you were here" messages, Harry Haristeen, Postmistress of Crozet, VA sees the cards when they arrive (hey, postcards are fair game). When recipients of these postcards are killed off after getting a card, Harry tries to help solve the crimes.

Mrs. Murphy (a tiger-striped cat) and Tucker (Welsh Corgi), blessed with communication skills between one another but not with humans, attempt to learn what they can to help keep Harry safe.

The first in a long series wonderfully captures the animals communicating with one another and shows how often they are misunderstood by humans. As they learn new clues, they attempt to communicate their finds only to be misunderstood.

Can they keep Harry safe from the killer? Will the killer be discovered in time to prevent more murders?

A book well worth the read.
