Are you sure I have 9 Lives?


Joe Grey. Sounds so human. Well not exactly. Joe Grey is a cat,a talking cat. Now Joe who is directed by Shirley Rousseau Murphy, isn't exactly cozy either and you can bet he needs each and everyone of those nine lives especially when there are murderers about. It really gets sticky when a killer also realizes that certain cats are- how shall I put it extra talented. Joe has a lady friend, Dulcie, who also talks. Then there's the Kit. However not all the cats talk. None of Dulcie's siblings do.


As with Tony Hillerman, these books are gripping, spellbinding. You always have the feeling Joe may be on his last life.


I think these books are best read in order, starting with 'Cat on the Edge.' My favorite is 'Cat Cross Their Graves'. Let me warn you though, it might give you shivers. You may never look at cats the same way again.
