Curiosity just might be the death of Mrs. Murphy - and her human companion - Harry Haristeen. Small towns are like families: Everyone lives very close together and everyone keeps secrets. Crozet, Virginia, is a typical small town - until its secrets explode into murder. Cozet's thirty-something postmistress, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, has a tiger cat (Mrs. Murphy) and a Welsh corgi (Tee Tucker) a pending divorce and a bad habit of reading postcards not addressed to her. When Crozet's citizens start turning up murdered, Harry remembers that each received a car with a tombstone on the front and the message "Wish you were here" on the back.
