Here's a mystery book from a series new to me that I was sucked into from the first page. Our main (human) character is a thirty-something woman named Harry, who runs the post office in her small town in Virginia. The main (non-human) characters are Harry's pets, a cat named Mrs. Murphy and a Welsh corgi dog named Tee Tucker.I loved how the reader sees how the animals speak to other, and how they refer to the humans in their lives (and how often the humans totally misunderstand what the animals are trying to tell them).
When a grisly murder occurs in the town, not only is Harry delving into it, but her pets are conducting their own investigation, even sneaking out the pet door at night to learn what they can, putting their noses to work at the crime scene. I enjoyed this book so much that I've already started another book in the Mrs. Murphy Mystery series.
