Episode 16: Curiosity Killed the Cat
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.
Episode 15: Office Cat Libs
In this mini episode, we make our colleagues fill out some Cat Libs. Turns out we have some cozy mystery writers in our midst!
Episode 14: Curiosity Thrilled the Cat
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.

Give us a shout on Facebook or Twitter (@PurrderSheWrote) or purrdershewrote@gmail.com and let us know which of these books …
Episode 12: Murder Past Due
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.
Episode 11: Murder at the Art Gallery
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.
Episode 10: Cat Libs
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!
Episode 9: The Cat Who Could Read Backwards
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!
Episode 8: The Cat From Outer Space
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!
