The Cat Saw Murder (American Mystery Classics) by Dolores Hitchens
For a detective story devotee such as Rachel Murdock, there are few things as exciting as a real-life murder case. But when the victim of the crime is her favorite niece, the investigation becomes more than just a thrilling pastime; in fact, considering that an attempt was also made to kill Rachel's cat and that the woman was drugged just before her niece's murder, finding the culprit might just be a matter of life and death.
As the details of the case unfold, they are lurid enough to distract the authorities away from promising leads. But Rachel and her furry companion are not so easily led astray; together they'll work to put their paws on the killer before he or she strikes again.
A prototypical early "cat mystery," was written before the subgenre became a staple of cozy mystery fiction, The Cat Saw Murder is an entertaining and endlessly surprising whodunnit with a focus on felines. Reissued for the first time in over half a decade, the book, originally published under the D.B. Olsen pseudonym, is the first in the long-running Rachel Murdock series.
Dolores Hitchens (1907 - 1973) was a prolific mystery author who wrote under several pen names and is recognized today as a pioneer of what would come to be known as domestic suspense.
