About this ebook
Harvard grad student Dulcie and two “enchanting” cats must solve the mysteries of a missing manuscript, a mistaken identity—and murder (Publishers Weekly).
Harvard grad student Dulcie Schwartz doesn’t want to believe that a book could be haunted. But ever since an eleventh-century manuscript, the Dunster Codex, went missing from the rare book collection, strange and terrible things have started happening. One of her colleagues is accused of homicide, another is revealed as an impostor, and Dulcie herself faces suspicion for theft—and murder. And while her magical feline friends—the ghost cat Mr. Grey and her telepathic tuxedo kitten, Esmé—seem to have switched allegiances to her boyfriend, Dulcie may have to uncover the truth and clear her name without their help. And that puts her in an even tighter bind than usual.
Grey Expectations is the fourth book in the Dulcie Schwartz Feline Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
“Fans of academic paranormal cat cozies will be in heaven.” —Publishers Weekly
“Continues successfully to marry the apparently very different subgenres of the cat mystery and the academic mystery. . . . This is definitely more than just another cat mystery.” —Booklist

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Strange things are happening in Dulcie’s world. Her research is interrupted when one colleague goes missing, another is afraid she may be arrested for his murder, and an expensive book is discovered to be missing from the university library. Dulcie’s research may be all for naught, jeopardizing her degree. And things to go downhill from there. Her little cat Esme seems to have more affection for Dulcie’s boyfriend than for Dulcie, and even Mr. Grey – ghost cat – seems to be visiting Dulcie less and less. A delightful mystery with enchanting felines – what more could you ask for!
