Cat of the Century: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

Cat of the Century: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

Â
Acclaimed authors Rita Mae Brown and her feline partner, Sneaky Pie Brown, are back with this new mystery starring Mary Minor â€œHarryâ€ Haristeen, the sleuthing cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and corgi Tee Tucker. And this time they must catch a killer determined to turn a birthday party into a funeral.

Harryâ€™s beloved and tart-tongued Aunt Tally is about to turn the big 1-0-0. The alumnae association of her alma mater sees an opportunity to honor the event and make some loot off the centennial as well. The plan is to hold a big fund-raiser in Aunt Tallyâ€™s honor to recoup some of the school revenue lost in the cratered economy. But soon thereâ€™s more at risk than investments and endowments.

First, an impending blizzard threatens to ruin the whole affair. Then a suspicious transaction is discovered in the associationâ€™s account: board member Mariah Dâ€™Angelo has mysteriously withdrawn and then replaced $25,000.
Â
But was that enough to get her killed? Mariahâ€™s car is on campus, sheâ€™s gone missing, and Tucker has found human blood near the schoolâ€™s stables.

Whatâ€™s behind the disappearance? Was it Mariahâ€™s donations to crafty politicians and crooked charities? Her rivalry with fellow board member Flo Langston? And is there a connection to the forty-year-old unsolved death of an old acquaintance of Aunt Tallyâ€™s? Using animal cunning and human canniness, Harry and her menagerie of mystery solvers must sniff out the answers orâ€”even at a hundred years oldâ€”Aunt Talley may outlive them all.
