A series of home invasions are occurring in Molena Point. There no clues,as to who is doing it. Two to four men break into a home where there is lone woman and beat her up and destroy the house. Someone is trying to hurt the MPPD and Max Harper. Joe and Dulcie are watching Ryan add a quilting room for a newcomer, Maudie and Grandson Bennie who recovering from a drive by shooting near Los Angeles.The cat realize there is strangle Tom Cat around but Joe and Dulcie are not interested as long as he is not bothering them. Kit see a performance cat in a distance and hopes it is mate. She is disappointed when she finally see him. He is old tells her he is returning to where was kitten. Misto helps them gather the information to stop the home invasions. All this plots are brought together skillfully for another outstanding story. Starting with the previous book, I have noticed a change in the style of Murphy's writing. Most notable, is the use of profanity among the characters. Granted, it is light cursing (e.g. "hell" and "damn"), but it is not the kind of writing I expect from this author. It began as a characterization technique. The villain was mean enough, and apparently uneducated enough to have to resort to this type of language. However, in this book, it has escalated to include characters such as Dulcie and Joe Grey. In these books, I found it distracting because the language was stuck in places where it just seemed to be there for a shock factor rather than contributing anything of value to the story. Hence the loss of a star in my rating.Otherwise, this is, as always, a great story.
