From Publishers Weekly

Crediting her cat Sneaky Pie as coauthor, Brown ( Rubyfruit Jungle ) sets the thoroughly likable heroine of this mystery, Mary Minor Haristeen, in an admirable position to figure out who is murdering, in ghastly fashion, various pillars of her community. Harry, with constant companions Mrs. Murphy, a cat, and Welsh corgi Tucker, is postmistress of Crozet, Va. Postcards are sent to a wealthy contractor shortly before parts of his body are found in a cement mixer and then to a storeowner whose corpse, tied to a railroad track, is cut in three parts by the express. The cards alert Harry and friends to a plot that will take more lives before they discover the treasure that inspires the violence. Brown's lively characterization brings merchants and first-family Virginians alive with affection and verve. Even the snippets of conversation contributed by Crozet's four-legged inhabitants are credible rather than cloying. Harry's in-process divorce of the town vet gives Brown opportunity to wax wise on issues of human relationships, feminism and the pitfalls of greed. A charming adventure, with teeth.

From Library Journal

Mary Minor ("Harry") Haristeen, divorce in the works, runs the post office in Crozet, Virginia, with a pet cat and dog at her side. After two spectacularly gruesome murders rock the community, Harry attempts to gather helpful clues, while the pets (who converse with each other) do their best to protect her. Despite a few light moments, the "cute" antics of the animals wear desperately thin, failing to shore up the flimsy plot construction or bolster the weak characterization. A disappointment from the author of Rubyfruit Jungle (Daughters, 1973).

5.0étoiles sur 5 For Both Cat & Mystery Lovers, Avril 11 2004
Par Allison (California, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This book was very entertaining. I loved that I could know what the cats and dogs were thinking and how they tried to make their human companions understand them. Well, let's just get to the summary.

Mary Minor "Harry" Harristeen has just discovered that one of her friends has been murdered. Right before his murder, Harry (who is the postmistress of Crozet) read a postcard addressed to him that pictured a graveyard and a message saying 'Wish you were here.' Soon, another friend is murdered who has also received the same mysterious postcard.

Along with her cat and dog, Mrs. Murphy and Tee Tucker, Harry sets out to find out who the killer was.

I thought this book was fun to read, although I thought the killer was a bit predictable. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this book for both cat & mystery lovers.

5.0étoiles sur 5 I Love Mrs. Murphy & Company, Juil 16 2003
Par Ellen Thorp (Houston, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I've read all her Mrs. Murphy Mysteries and am in the process of reading her latest "The Tale of the Tip-Off". I've put off reading it, as it'll be another year before there's another one. I absolutely love these stories and hope they never stop!

1.0étoiles sur 5 Don't Recomend, Nov. 2 2002
Par Un client
I disliked the use of language - you can have a good book and not fill it with explicatives. Also the flow was very choppy.
I would not recomend wasting your money on this book.
