Cat Chase the Moon: A Joe Grey Mystery (Joe Grey Mystery Series, 21) Hardcover – April 23, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
Feline P. I. Joe Grey and his friends pounce on three investigations that may connect to one larger mystery—including one case that is very personal—in this hair-raising installment in Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s beloved, award-winning series.
Joe Grey and his partner, Dulcie, are frantic when Courtney, their pretty teen-kitten goes missing. Aided by their two- and four-legged friends, they hit the streets of Molina Point in search of their calico girl. Has Joe Grey and Dulcie’s only daughter been lured away by someone and stolen? Is she lying somewhere hurt, or worse?
Courtney has no idea that everyone is desperately looking for her. Locked in an upstairs apartment above the local antiques shop, she’s enjoying her first solo adventure. When she first met Ulrich Seaver, the shop’s owner, Courtney was frightened. But the human has coddled and pampered her, winning her trust. Sheltered by her parents, her brothers, and her kind human companions, the innocent Courtney is unaware of how deceptive strangers can be. She doesn’t know that Ulrich is hiding a dangerous secret that could threaten her and everyone in this charming California coastal village.
With his focus on finding Courtney, Joe Grey has neglected his detective work with the Molina Point Police Department. Before his daughter disappeared, Joe found a viciously beaten woman lying near the beach. Now the police investigation has stalled, and the clever feline worries his human colleagues may have missed a vital clue. Joe is also concerned about a family of newcomers whose domestic battles are disturbing the town’s tranquility. Loud and abrasive, the Luthers’ angry arguing, shouting, and swearing in the early hours of the night have neighbors on edge and the cops on alert. One of the couple’s late-night shouting matches masked the sounds of a burglary, and now a criminal is on the loose.
Though the crimes are as crisscrossed as the strands of a ball of yarn, Joe Grey’s cat senses tell him they may somehow be linked. It’s up to the fleet-footed feline and his crime-solving coterie to untangle the mysteries before it’s too late.

About the author
Shirley Rousseau Murphy is the author of over 40 books, including 24 novels for adults, the Dragonbards Trilogy and more for young adults, and many books for children. She is best known for her Joe Grey cat mystery series, consisting of 21 novels, the last of which was published when she was over 90.

Murphy grew up in southern California, riding and showing the horses her father trained. After attending the San Francisco Art institute she worked as an interior designer, and later exhibited paintings and welded metal sculpture in the West Coast juried shows. "When my husband Pat and I moved to Panama for a four-year tour in his position with the U. S . Courts, I put away the paints and welding torches, and began to write," she says. Later they lived in Oregon, then Georgia, before moving to California, where she now enjoys the sea and views of the Carmel hills.

This book is focused on Courtney as she is catnap and all points bulletin is issued to help find her. It not long before Dulice find where she is being held. The cats find a way into the area. Courtney refuses to leave wanting to know what were the plans for her.
Molina Point is having problems with robberies occur when a person leaves the bank or is coming to the bank. Joe is intrigued by this crime. He discovers a woman being buried alive and ma aged to stop it. The Luther's become neighbors and Joe becomes friends with a youngster,
Mindy. MPPD has a substitute Reception. The person does like cats and is a problem for the cats handle very well. The several points are neatly brought together for a tale. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND SERIES.
In this 21st book in the Joe Grey series, Mrs. Murphy has added more threads to the warp and weft of the colorful tapestry she has been weaving since 2009. The characters, both four legged and two legged, feel like old friends when they enter the narrative, and a reader will smile and gasp and cry along with them. The late elderly tomcat Misto had predicted that Courtney was different and that difference forces her to make a heartbreaking choice that will affect not only herself, but her loving family and their friends. For those familiar with the world of Joe Grey, you will definitely be satisfied with the latest entry. For those new to this series, I highly recommend going back to the beginning and immersing yourself in this world. You won’t regret it.
