Has Anyone Read The Mrs.murphy Series

[cattybird]

by Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown? It stars Mrs. Murphy, her cat friend Pewter, and her dog friend, who's name I can't remember at the moment. Anyhoo, the three animals help solve murders, and I ALMOST like this series better then THE CAT WHO series. ALMOST!

Love the series. I've read them all some of them twice. The dogs name is Tee Tucker, usually just called Tucker. I also like THE CAT WHO series

.

Yes, I read them twice myself.

Batgirl. I guess the series doesn't appeal to everyone, huh?

This is undoubtly my favorite of my cat mystery book series. Mainly because not only do I love Ms. Murphy, Tee Tucker and Pewter but I love the character of Mary Minor "Harry". All the characters have such depth. More than my other series. If I had to rank my top three cat series it would be:

Ms. Murphy - Rita and Sneaky Pie Brown
Joe Grey Series - Shirley Rousseau Murphy
The Cat Who - Lillian Jackson Braun

Oh yes, I like the JOE GREY series too. In fact I'm right now reading CAT CROSS THEIR GRAVES for about the fifth time.

I think I'll check the series out. I've read all of the Cat Who books at least twice, and I'm not sure when a newer one will come out, so I'd better find something to occupy my time.

AnnasMom. Let me know how you like it please.

I love the Mrs Murphy series. It combines mysteries with cats - a winning combination!

I have finished 4 of the Mrs. Murphy series now. The first one I read (Claws and Effect) started with the animals talking and I had my doubts, but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. I went to my local library and got all they had (7) and gave 3 to my mom. She, too, was at first put off by the talking animals, but ended up enjoying them. Now that I've finished all I have, I need to get the 3 I lent to my mom and read them.

Its funny, my mom turned me on to The Cat Who series, and now she likes the Mrs. Murphy series so much, she got online to get all of the titles, read about the author (who is a lesbian btw, and that explains a lot), etc. She is an avid reader like me.

They are Ok but I prefer the Felidae series - somehow, though also about a cat detective, they are much more 'real' as to sensing how a cat would actually feel and behave.

Jennyransom. What's the filedae series? I've never heard of that.
