Purrder, She Wrote

Purrder, She Wrote returns! To kick off Season 2, Sunshine and Dana return to where it all began with the 30th (!) installment in Patricia Fry's Klepto Cat series. This episode is packed with ancient curses, rednecks, and a nearly lethal dose of mansplaining! Yikes!

Cats getting drunk. Wizard mafia. Cozy conspiracy bunkers. And one super chill, unflappable heroine. In Episode 16, Dana and Sunshine discover they have no talent for accents, but a lot to say about this cozy mystery by T.H. Hunter.

In this mini episode, we make our colleagues fill out some Cat Libs. Turns out we have some cozy mystery writers in our midst!

In this episode, Dana and Sunshine finally find the strong female murderer they've been looking for. We talk girl gangs, magic cats, weaponized cinnamon rolls and unfortunate references to Matt Lauer in this wild read.

We've been busy (sadly with non-cozy cat related things), but we wanted to share a kitten-sized episode. Tune in for the tale of our first cozy failure, life updates and help us pick our next read!

We're back in cozy territory with Murder Past Due, a book about paternity scandals, inheritance fraud, and bringing your cat to a funeral. Despite a promising premise, Sunshine and Dana were underwhelmed by this college town cozy.

A hard-boiled cop reincarnated as a cat teams up with a tarot card-reading housewife to solve a murder. What could go wrong? EVERYTHING. Dana and Sunshine lament the terrible grammar, buckwild plot, and general insanity of the book that broke their brains.

You've heard of Mad Libs, but Cat Libs? Dana and Sunshine attempt to write their own cozy mystery on the fly. Tune in for ancient burial grounds, Burt Shmeynolds, and martial law!

This week, we travel back to the swingin' 60s to read The Cat Who Could Read Backwards. The hero cat, mustache with ESP, and sendup of the snooty art world made us smile. The horribly antiquated gender roles made us want to smash the patriarchy even harder!

Disclaimer: we're not astrophysicists, but we're pretty sure The Cat From Outer Space defies ALL scientific logic. This is our first episode devoted to a cat film, and based on the quality of the film we watched, it may be our last. Listen in for psychic space cats, fraud, and good old fashioned workplace sexism!
