The Tail of the Tip-Off: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

The Tail of the Tip-Off

When winter hits Crozet, Virginia, it hits hard--and hangs on for months. Thatâ€™s nothing new to postmistress Mary Minor â€œHarryâ€ Haristeen and her friends, who keep warm with hard work, hot toddies, and rabid rooting for the University of Virginiaâ€™s womenâ€™s basketball team at the old stadium affectionately dubbed â€œThe Clam.â€ But the usual postgame high spirits are laid low when contractor H. H. Donaldson drops dead in the parking lot. And pretty soon word has spread that it wasnâ€™t a heart attack that did him in. It just doesnâ€™t sit right with Harry that one of her fellow fans--perhaps even an acquaintance or neighbor sitting close by in the stands--is a murderer. And as tiger cat Mrs. Murphy is all too aware, things that donâ€™t sit right with Harry make her restless, curious, and prone to poking her not-very-sensitive human nose into dangerous places. So the animals start paying closer attention to what the people around them are doing--and theyâ€™re the first ones to realize when the next murder occurs.

It seems obvious to Harry that the deaths are connected--and she intends to find out exactly how. Thereâ€™s no shortage of suspects, considering that H.H. was a ladiesâ€™ man whoâ€™d left a trail of broken hearts all over town--the most recent belonging to his wife-- and that the second murder victim was not very popular in Crozet.As the police launch their investigation, Harry picks up clues through savvy questioning of everyone she knows. But itâ€™s the critters who are most attuned to trouble--they scent something wicked wafting Harryâ€™s way on the tail of the next snowstorm. And as Harry draws closer to the truth about a brutal killer, Mrs. Murphy and her friends realize itâ€™s up to them to make sure their intrepid mom lands on her feet.
