About this listen

A big, powerful, gray feline, Joe Grey is perfectly content with his remarkable ability to understand and communicate with humans - especially now that he has company. A mysterious accident similar to the one that enabled him to speak and read has transformed his friend Dulcie as well. The trouble is, the cute tabby female not only hears human words, she believes them.

Now she's convinced the man who was jailed for murdering a famous local artist and burning down her studio is innocent - simply because he says so - and she's willing to do whatever it takes to dig up the evidence that will exonerate the accused. Joe would much prefer just lazing around the house doing kitty things, but the lady cat is determined. And Joe must admit that he is curious...though everyone knows what that can lead to!

This is the second book in the series that I have listened to. I wasn’t expecting much, as it seemed a weird premise, but both books have been good fun and have strong storylines.

Surprisingly good

This book harks back to the comfy imagination of children's stories and a gentle who dunnit', anchored firmly in whimsy and murder... Very easy listening and good fun. This is unlikely to win any literary awards but is a nice bedtime listen.

Good fun!

A first for me and as a cat lover and slave I enjoyed the way the cats behaviours were interpreted. I can just imagine if cats could take (wanted to) this is how they would do it!

Delightful

second book fines the pair of cats investigate a murder and how they help the police solve it again. loved how the story continues and i love joe & dulci can't wait to listen to the next book to see whst they get up to this time.

brilliant story and just love the mix of talking cats and mysteries they solve.
