Publisher's Note Following up Wish You Were Here, their debut mystery, the New York Times bestselling author and her feline coauthor return with a tantalizing tale. Rest in Pieces is set in small-town Virginia and features a singular detective team: postmistress Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen and her tiger cat, Mrs. Murphy. Illustrated.
Mrs. Murphy thinks the new man in town is the cats meow.... Maybe she should think again. Small towns dont take kindly to strangers--unless the stranger happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous and seemingly unattached male. When Blair Bainbridge comes to Crozet, Virginia, the local matchmakers lose no time in declaring him perfect for their newly divorced postmistress, Marry Minor "Harry Haristeen." Even Harrys tiger cat, Ms. Murphy, and her Welsh Corgi, Tee Tucker, believe he smells A-okay. Could his one little imperfection be that hes a killer? Blair becomes the most likely suspect when the pieces of a dismembered corpse begin tuming up around Crozet. No one knows who the dead man is, but when a grisly clue makes a spectacular appearance in the middle of the fall festivities, more than an early winter snow begins chilling the blood of Crozets very best people. Thats when Ms. Murphy, her friend Tucker, and her human companion Harry begin to sort throughout the clues . . . only to find themselves a whisker away from becoming the killer's next victims.
