Publisher's summary

There’s a bad new cat in sleepy little Molena Point: a renegade tom with a penchant for robbery, a scorn for his fellow felines, and a disdain for human laws. And he’s masterminding a crime spree that’s quickly escalating toward murder most foul. Dulcie and Joe Grey both know the score - they’ve seen Azrael in action. But how can they expose the criminal without letting ordinary, untrustworthy humans in on the secret that certain select cats can think - and talk? Cats like them…

Very twisty plot for the cats and police

This was a very twisty plot for both police and the cats. An interesting take on how important it is to pay attention to small things around you. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I really enjoyed it. I have cats so I really relate to the personalities presented of each cat. The performance was wonderful.

Another great adventure from Joe and Dulcie

Any additional comments?

This one started out a little slow - lots of description that at the time didn't make sense and seemed extraneous. After the first hour or so though, things started happening, and the story became the appealing tale I really enjoy. Not quite so many twists and turns as the earlier books, but enough misdirects to make the final solution a surprise. Good listening!

Mysterious Black Cat Plus Murder Equals Adventure

Joe Grey and Dulcie are dismayed by the appearance of a mysterious and criminal black cat, Azreal, who is partnering with a band of thieves who are breaking into local homes. And this evil cat is like them!!! He talks! But that's where the similarity ends. Dulcie and Joe are on the RIGHT side of the law, while Azreal is definitely on the wrong. This new development has the two stumped and they have to be on their cat toes to get one up on this dark fellow and Greeley, his human. Greeley is the brother of Mavity Flowers, who works for Charlie Getz (at Charlie's Clean, It Fix It). Early in the story, Mavity has gone missing, and the whole town is looking for her. When she is eventually found, she is in her car, which has hit a lamp post, she is taken to the hospital. She can't remember anything. So friend, Wilma visits, bringing Dulcie, to help her recover and try to remember what happened. Excellent installment on the series! Great resolution on the murders and Joe Grey and Dulcie, once again, save the day!

Great series to follow

I’m listening to the whole series of books. It can be a little repetitive but still a good story for driving home after work.
