Spring fever comes to the small town of Crozet, Virginia. As the annual Dogwood Festival approaches, postmistress Mary Minor “Harry” Haristeen feels her own mating instincts stir.

As for tiger cat Mrs. Murphy, feline intuition tells her there’s more in the air than just pheromones. It begins with a case of stolen hubcaps and proceeds to the mysterious death of a dissolute young mechanic over a sobering cup of coffee. Then another death and a shooting lead to the discovery of a half-million crisp, clean dollar bills that look to be very dirty.

Now Harry is on the trail of a cold-blooded murderer. Mrs. Murphy already knows who it is--and who’s next in line. She also knows that Harry, curious as a cat, does not have nine lives. And the one she does have is hanging by the thinnest of threads.
Customer Review: my favorite of the series
This book really has an interesting plot and moves along with it. It is much more a mystery than usual and I enjoyed it very much. Of course there are the usual antics of the animals - they are endearing. I almost always pick up one of these books when I've had it with the world and want something comfortable to slip into. This one's a particular pleasure.
Customer Review: It's spring in Crozet.
It's finally spring in Crozet, Virginia, but the weather is as unsettled as some of the happenings in this little town. There appears to be a lot of deaths - one looked like natural causes, one looked like suicide and one was murder, but as Harry and her pals delve deeper into the mire, it appears that the deaths are all connected and they were all murder. This book moves along at a pretty swift pace, and we have lots of hijinks with the fabulous thres pets as well as more contact with our old friends in Crozet. This is a great cozy series, and because of that we get to become good friends with the good citizens of Crozet. But there's sure a lot of crime in this piece of Virginia!
