From Publishers Weekly
At the start of bestseller Brown's uneven 15th Mrs. Murphy Mystery (after 2007's Puss 'n Cahoots), Mary Minor Harry Haristeen, the former postmistress of Crozet, Va., is saddened to hear that a local ob-gyn has been killed—either by a resentful friend, who thought the doc had once slept with his wife, or by prolife fanatics who were angered by his willingness to perform abortions. Next, a wealthy middle-aged woman is murdered at a fund-raiser. Harry's friend Tazio Chappars appears to be the most likely suspect, but Harry is sure of Tazio's innocence and begins to wonder if the two deaths are connected. Character development is frustratingly thin, and rather than exploiting the rich Virginia setting, Brown's local color extends only to superficial clichés (wealthy Virginia women wear understated jewelry, and the ladies with the flashiest gems are tacky new money). Harry's three pets, who pop up having testy, italicized conversations, are generally a distraction, not integral to the novel. Still, the well-paced plot builds to an unpredictable and complex conclusion. (Feb.)

From AudioFile
Mrs. Murphy--in case you're new to this series--is a cat. Along with a corgi named Tee and another cat named Pewter--referred to affectionately as "Fatso"--she helps amateur sleuth Harry Haristeen solve crimes. In this outing Harry is trying to figure out who killed the town doctor and an upper-class patron famous for her imperious manner. Brown's animal characters definitely steal the show. There's something hilarious and endearing about the juxtaposition of genteel Virginians and the rowdy, opinionated animals. Yes, they talk! (To each other.) Kate Forbes does a bang-up job with this crowd of colorful characters, capturing the mayhem that is always simmering beneath the surface of their love-hate relationships.
