This was a #NotForMe book. I usually like animals talking and their antics, but this time I don't know. I guess maybe because it wasn't “book 1“ that I didn't get too into it? Oh well. #ThematicCozies @JulieClair

A great series, I have read a couple of these. At some point I will read the rest.
#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 There is a different, newer cover on the audiobook, but I like this cover so much more. This is the tenth entry in the Mrs. Murphy Mystery series. Just because the animals talk doesn‘t make this a cozy mystery. Both humans and animals cuss. But all the violence takes place “offstage” and there‘s no graphic sex.
I read this series before, but I never noticed the language I guess. I can't listen to it anymore. I despise the F word and you should never take God's name in vain. There is a lot of that in the first hour I listened to this book. No thank you!
#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 The 9th book in Rita Mae Brown‘s Mrs. Murphy Mystery Series. It‘s been a while since I read the 8th book, and now I remember why. I guess I‘m tired of talking animals. I don‘t know when or if I‘ll get back to this series.
This isn't a great book, but it's a diverting read. It's moderately interesting to read how race was written about in the early 1990s and especially interesting (and somewhat cringy) that the Sally Hemings/Thomas Jefferson connection wasn't necessarily accepted as fact at that time. I guess it's been so long since it was just a part of the story of TJ that I forget it ever wasn't.
Cute, low-commitment novel in a cute, low-commitment series. Great for a travel recovery day. Two books in, though, and I am wondering how long until the "crime-solving pets" gimmick gets old for me.
I think I have a better sense of what a "cozy" mystery is after reading this novel. Now I'm wondering if my cats are trying to help me solve mysteries and I'm just too dense to realize it.
Always a pleasure to sit back, read a cozy mystery for fun, and laugh at Pewter! Nothing difficult about RMB‘s Mrs. Murphy series, but always a good, escapist read.
