Cat Breaking Free

De: Shirley Rousseau Murphy

Narrado por: William Dufris

The fur starts flying when a gang from L.A. comes up to tranquil Molena Point, California, and begins breaking into the village's quaint shops. Joe Grey, Feline P.I., has called Molena Point home since he was a kitten, and he doesn't take well to marauding strangers.

Joe even wonders whether the blonde who's moved in next to his human companion Clyde could be a part of the gang - she's been acting pretty suspicious lately.

But when the strangers start trapping and caging feral cats it proves too much for Grey. And when one of the gang is murdered, and a second mysterious death comes to light, he has no choice but to try and stop the crimes.

The narration was superbly done, and the cats kept my attention. Very skillfully done. Thanks

Cat Breaking Free

When I first started this book, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. But, it is well written and I soon found myself not wanting to put it down. It is a fun mystery.

Cat Breaking Free

I enjoy this series and will continue listening. It was hard to listen to this narrator after being spoiled by the previous narrator. I did further research and found she returns but you have to listen to him for the next book. Don’t give up on this series yet!

Great Book Again

loved this book. excellent story. wonderful writing about 3 cats adventures and crime solving.

Multiple problems arise and become complicated.

Finding a cat trapped and starving in a humane cage and a dead body is a real downer after a pleasant week of camping but, it's just the start to one of the problems that will plague the residents of Molena Point.
An ex-girlfriend of Clyde shows up, followed by a previous male admirer of Ryan, and Joe Grey, Dulce, and Kit start wondering what is really causing all the turmoil that's brewing.
Before long, the three cats are facing dangers they never expected.

While the change in narrator was jarring after 10 books, William Dufris (1958-2020), was an award winning voice actor and I enjoyed his performance except for his "Joe Grey" interpretation.

I'm a fan of this series and am always surprised how S.R. Murphy ties all the parts together at the end. I believe publication of this series began in the 1990s. Some listeners may note attitudes or comments by characters that are now dated.

New narrator, not crazy about him.

I love the Joe Gray books. I very much enjoyed the lady who narrated the books previously, very easy to listen to.
This man tries to make Joe sound like a very stuffy and patronizing British butler.
I know I have trouble with change, however I am not very fond of this fellow.

Someone is holding 3 of the feral cats from Kits former clowder in a cage.

One of Clyde’s old girlfriends moves in next door. She comes on to him even though he doesn’t want her to.
Joe who doesn’t like her wonders what she is up to.

the Joe Gray series is addictive
