Claws and Effect

De: Rita Mae Brown

Narrado por: Kate Forbes

Best-selling authors Rita Mae Brown and her cat, Sneaky Pie Brown, are beloved for their Mrs. Murphy mysteries. Set in the quiet town of Crozet, Virginia, each delightful book finds Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen and the incomparably clever feline, Mrs. Murphy, caught up in a puzzling whodunit.

In the middle of a particularly dull winter, nobody pays much mind to rumors of bad blood among the staff of Crozet Hospital. That is, until a member of the hospital staff turns up dead. So much for the uneventful season! Harry can't resist doing some investigating of her own, but it's her sleuthing feline whose nose sniffs out the biggest clue.

Co-written by the smartest cat to ever put paw to typewriter, Claws and Effect is a pure delight from beginning to end. With Kate Forbes narrating the voices of the human characters as well as the thoughts of the endearing animals, the audiobook is an extra special treat.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An intriguing and well-executed mystery....Grateful fans will relish this charming addition by a master of the cozy cat genre." (Publishers Weekly)

Funny detectives

Mrs Murphy, Pewter. And Tee Ticket along with Harry Hairasteen get the job done. The way Cats and dogs help Harry solve the murders , is action packed fun!

Very clever

Loved how they used physical history for a modern day crime. Beautifully done as always. 🫶🏻

Wonderful Story

I lw enjoy traveling to Crozet Virginia, and visiting Hary, Mrs. Murphy, WHTUCKER, and Pewter. I hadn't been in a while, so, it was nice to visit! :-) Plus, given that it's Winter in my part of the United States, and it's been cold and snowy as a result, and, I've been feeling us the weather, I thought this would be a great time to pop in for a visit! I loved the story, and the plot twists. Although one murder was more heartbreaking than the rest. This story gives great insight into the medical industry, and just how rife it is with corruption! I think you gain some insight into humanity in general as well as personal insight. I liked the narration as well, although I always enjoy Kate Forbes's work, having listened to her narration of several sarah Booth Delaney novels in the past. I can't wait to come back to Crozet! :-) Although I will say that while this story is a cozy mystery, I would classify it as "heavy reading" just because of what the plot centers around.

Good story!

I am a fan of the Mrs Murphy series and this one had a good plot. Some parts were too descriptive (eg: fox hunting descriptions) and I wish instead of that the author had developed some of the story lines more. Kate Forbes as usual is a delightful and skilled narrator!

very enjoyable
