Feline sleuths Mrs. Murphy and Pewter help unravel another mystery with their human companion, Harry, in Rita Mae Browns latest offering, Sour Puss. The book opens with Harry Haristeen remarrying her ex-husband, veterinarian Fair. Harry and Fair have recently entered the wine-making business by planting a quarter acre of grapes. As they learn more about operating a winery, a noted outspoken wine grower suspiciously dies.
Enter Harrys talking pets: Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, the cats, and Tucker, the dog. While speculation swirls over the murder of the neighboring vintner, the pets find another body buried in Harrys orchard. Not only does Harry have to wade her way through the nuances of wine-growing, she needs to solve a mystery. Luckily, she has the help of her clever animals.
