Cat Raise the Dead - (Joe Grey Cat Mystery) by Shirley Rousseau Murphy (Paperback)

About the Book

It isn't up to Joe the Cat or his owner Clyde. The "pet-a-pet" scheme is Dulcie's idea, and she is a cat who always gets her way. Dulcie needs Joe's help to prove that the old folks' home is hiding more than just lonely seniors--a mysterious doll kidnapper, a severed finger, and a very, very busy open grave.

Book Synopsis

Joe Grey can't believe his human housemate Clyde would even consider volunteering him for the Animal Therapy program at the local nursing home, just when Joe was on the verge of solving the string of burglaries that has Molena Point residents shaking in their collective boots. But it turns out it's Dulcie, Joe's pretty little cat-friend, who came up with the idea of subjecting Joe to the cooing attentions of a bunch of doddering old coots. Dulcie believes there's more going on at the old folks' home than the care and feeding of lonely seniors. And she needs Joe's help in getting to the bottom of a conspiracy ... and a very suspicious set of deaths.
