Publisher's Summary
When Crozet's citizens start turning up murdered, Harry remembers that each received a card with a tombstone on the front and the message "Wish you were here" on the back. Intent on protecting their human friend, Mrs. Murphy and Tucker begin to scent out clues.
Meanwhile, Harry is conducting her own investigation, unaware her pets are one step ahead of her. If only Mrs. Murphy could alert her somehow, Harry could uncover the culprit before the murder occurs - and before Harry finds herself on the killer's mailing list.

"Language of the Cats"
What made the experience of listening to Wish You Were Here the most enjoyable?Admittedly, it was hard for me to get into at first. After the third chapter I stopped and started at the beginning. Looking back at it the slow beginning was paramount to the story; small town, small people but their issues are the same as the big busy city. I would have said nothing started happening until the murders, but I was wrong. Though I don’t live far from where the story is based and am not a stranger to small town Virginia, I wasn’t connecting with the characters, not even Mrs. Murphy and Tucker (the tabby and the corgi of the story), but I appreciate why by the time the murders happen the pace was necessary to the story. It became an allegory of the town itself.
After the first two murders the story started to pick up pace a bit and was locking in my interest. There are two perspectives you have to keep in line as you read; Mrs. Murphy’ and the other animals, and Harry’s world of humans. I must admit I still don’t understand the clue Mrs. Murphy was giving Harry which is driving me crazy, but the story evolved into a wonderful Who-Done-It tale and close to the end I was screaming for the answer. Great read.
Who was your favorite character and why?Mrs. Murphy was really cool, but my favorite was Pewter.
What about Kate Forbes’s performance did you like?Ms. Forbes did a great job in giving each character their own unique cadence, accent and pitch. It gave me a good sense of who the character were; pompus, demure, worldly and wise, her rendition added to the experience.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Your Cat's trying to Tell you something....
Any additional comments?On to book 2.

"Fluff Mystery"
What did you like best about Wish You Were Here? What did you like least?This book is easy to listen so if one is distracted for a moment, one doesn't lose the plot.However, thinking and talking animals are not my thing.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Kate Forbes?Narration was decent.

"My Introduction to this Series"
There are a lot of books in this series. I got this one during one of Audible's sales -- and the low low low price lets me be a little bit more positive about the book. It wasn't a bad book. It wasn't poorly written. It wasn't a bad mystery, either. But my favorite parts were the interactions between the tiger cat (Mrs. Murphy) and a Welsh Corgi (Tucker) and the cat belonging to the owner of a business near Crozet's post office. I expected the animals to play a larger role in the solving of the mystery, based on the description of the book. I doubt I will buy other books in the series unless offered during one of the Low Low Low priced sales again -- I think I will seek out the series through the local public library's inter-library loan or their online book download service (download and listen for a week for free) ...

"It's The Cat's Meow!"
Loved reading this book.Love listening to it even more.I find I've picked up bits I missed by reading as fast as I do. Hope that "Pay Dirt" and "Rest in Pieces" can also join Sneaky Pie's list of audio books soon.

"Disappointed"
I listened to the preview and it sounded good but once I started listening the cursing started, very disappointing.
