Book Description
Molena Point, California, should be a tranquil place. Nestled quietly on the Pacific coast miles below San Francisco, it's not the kind of town escaped convicts seek out. But if you're a thief named Cage Jones, you've just sprung yourself from the clink, and the woman who turned state's witness and helped put you behind bars lives there––where better to go than Molena Point?
Wily Tomcat Joe Grey knows that something sinister is afoot when he hears about Cage Jones––but he doubts that his girlfriend Dulcie's suspicions that the escaped thief is after Dulcie's human companion, Wilma, are justified. But when Jones shoots a federal officer, and the bodies of two peaceful, local residents are found brutally murdered in their home, even the suspicious Feline Detective knows that things are only going to get worse. Paw–in–paw with Dulcie and their tattercoat friend Kit, the indomitable feline trio––with special powers that only a few select humans are privy to––team up to capture the thief, and in one of award–winning author Shirley Rousseau Murphy's most suspenseful and unforgettable books to date, bring peace to the town they love.

Cat Pay The Devil.......2007-08-12
Love the Joe Grey books by Shirley Rousseau Murphy. She has a talent for bringing out the cat lover in everyone, while creating a mystery.
Addicted to Joe Grey mysteries.......2007-06-09
I really loved Shirley Murphy's latest Joe Grey mystery. I cannot find another author who can compare to her. I wait with abated breath for her next book to come out. She is one of the few authors whose books I can read over & over again.
th most recent in the series.......2007-05-17
If you like this imaginative and well-written series, you will like this latest addition. It is fun and a bit different from previous entries. It revisits some previous characters and answers some interesting questions. I recommend it for a light, enjoyable read.
Cat-tastic.......2007-05-01
I was hooked on this series when I read the first Joe Grey mystery. I think that this is one of the best so far. The story is well written and keeps you wanting to turn the page. I like that the other feral cats are being brought into the story line. Only wish she could write faster.
All the cats are great .......2007-03-28
If you are a cat lover and you have some imagination you will really enjoy this book. There is never a dull moment. I like the introduction
of more cats this time and their special ability to help the humans.

Book Description
Liz Carlyle, bestselling author of The Devil You Know and A Deal With the Devil, continues her devilish streak with this sensual regency romance.
By day, Sidonie Saint-Godard is a quietly elegant young widow who teaches deportment to the unpolished daughters of London's nouveau riche. By night, she is someone altogether different....
The notorious Black Angel -- so called for her lusciously located angel tattoo -- ruthlessly takes from powerful men who exploit, and gives to those who suffer at their hands. Always in disguise, she has eluded capture and her identity remains a mystery....
The Marquess of Devellyn, one of the least noble noblemen in town, uses and discards women as he pleases. But when the Black Angel entices him into her bed, ties him up, and pilfers his most valued possession, she may have gone too far. This time, Devellyn tells her, she'll have the devil to pay. And he definitely means to collect.

THE DEVIL TO PAY - WORTH EVERY CENT.......2007-08-23
This story line was different. I chose to buy into it and am glad I did. The banter was excellent and I had many laughs throughout. Kemble was in this book but it was Aleric, the hero who had all the funny, sardonic lines.
Sidonie was spunky and I liked her. I set belief aside at what she did because it could never happen in those times. Indeed, she gets caught once and nearly suffers dire consequences.
But the love and romance were amusing; the hero was salvageable and very good hearted. Sensuality a 9. There was a somber part near the end, but it all worked out well. An amusing read.
Good read but not a keeper............2007-02-28
I enjoyed this book but I wasn't blown away. The heroine (a female robin hood) and hero (carefree rake) were both believable and likable but were missing that certain something that makes readers feel that they were actually there. The story was comical at times and had me laughing out loud and it had it's share of sensual scenes, but it was just too predictable. You were just waiting for him to find out he was taken in by the "Black Angel" and when he did it lacked intensity. The ending seemed rather forced and was not terribly exciting.
It was entertaining and worth reading, just don't expect it to knock your socks off. Although, I can't say it's one of my favorites, I won't hesitate to buy another of her novels.
my least favorite of this series.......2007-02-16
What a disappointment. I couldn't wait to read this one. I'd read the others and they were wonderful. This one is lacking. Maybe the writer was being rushed to meet a deadline? Wish I could say something good about it. I will not share details and spoil it for you.
The Devil to Pay.......2007-01-10
This book is one of many by Liz Carlyle that will intertwine the charactors from book to book. In this book the Black Angel will captivate
your interest, along with powerful men of the ton in which she wishes to
exploit. One of her targets was the Marguess of Devellyn, but she also
became his target, who will win in the end?
The Devil to Pay.......2006-12-07
This book was just not for me. Aleric's previous love interests were so distasteful that you wondered why he begged them to stay. Camelia was so bawdy that it made me think less of Devellyn for being with her in the first place. I realize that he was with her because he didn't feel like he deserved better, but he was extremely attracted to Ruby Black who was more indecent than Camelia. The first time that Sidonie and Aleric have sex is basically rape. Not enough romance in this romance.
Book Description
Have you ever wondered about the origin of "son of a gun," "flotsam and jetsam," or "hunky-dory"? You'll find the nautical derivation of these expressions and more than 250 others in this collection of nautical metaphors and colloquialisms. In addition, this book includes thought-provoking and entertaining examples of these words drawn from literature, movies, and song, and contains sections of legends of the sea and weather lore. Fascinating reading for sailors and language enthusiasts alike. Here's the scuttlebutt: Barge right in and swallow the anchor, and let's chew the fat and splice the main brace 'til we're three sheets to the wind. Listen, you son of a sea cook, I'm tired of minding my P's and Q's. I tell you, I'm all at sea, and this is the bitter end. Nothing I can do will keep this ship on an even keel. Hells bells! You think I didn't tell it to the old man? Delivered a broadside, I did, but he just called me a loose cannon. Maybe I caught him between wind and water. Listen, mate. You'd better bootleg a bible aboard. We're sailing under false colors, and where we're headed it's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. It's Davy Jones' locker I'm talking about. The crew was scraped from the bottom of the barrel. They don't know the ropes, and anyway they're deserting like rats from a sinking ship. It's time to fish or cut bait, mate, or there'll be the devil to pay. No use flogging a dead horse. Let's stay armed to the teeth and look for any port in a storm. There'll be nothing but flotsam and jetsam when this tub goes down the hatch.
Customer Reviews:
This is no 'sloppy' work!.......2007-08-23
There are many books that inform us of the number of phrases and words that originated in the days of sail and have become part of every landlubber's English voacabulary. Olivia Isil's book takes a fresh and more comprehensive look at these derivations. Immensely readable, entertaining and informative. Essential to have by the bedside or in the yacht's locker to settle arguments!
Wonderful book!.......2007-03-04
I'm now having to purchase my third copy of this book! I buy a copy, loan it out and then never see it again! It is truly amazing to find out how many of our colloquialisms come from the sea. By this book and you will enjoy every minute of it.
Throw me an anchor..............2002-02-28
PLEASE!! Forgive me for being aloof...all at sea.Barge In,its
ok.I just don't get it. I've read better cereal boxes.
A lovely book full of seagoing lore..........2000-03-26
This book is a gem! It's full of history and lore related to the sea and those who sail upon it. It has over a hundred pages of interesting information regarding the derivation of words and phrases used in everyday speech. My husband was raised on the seacoast of Nova Scotia, and I've spent many summers on the coast of North Carolina, so we are no strangers to the sea and sailing. This book made a perfect gift for him this past Christmas.
A great little book for "the head"........1999-12-17
It is intriguing to learn how many familiar expressions in our everyday speech have their origins at sea (having "washed ashore" as the author puts it). Many of these sayings started out as fairly technical naval terms.
For instance the "bitter end" is the tail-end of an anchor line that may disappear overboard if not properly secured (along with a sailor's reputation). To "flake out" means to lay chain out on deck so it may be inspected for weak links.
And I won't "let the cat out of the bag" (another entry) in regards to the ever-popular "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey", except to say that it's NOTHING CLOSE to what you think it means! As always the author's voice is clear and refreshing as she recounts coaxing the explanation out of an old salt. (I can't help thinking that it is the woman's perspective on the subject that helps make this little book so delightful.)
The book is divided up into "Metaphors and Colloquialisms", "Wind, Waves and Weather", and "Yarns of the Sea, Legends, Myths and Superstitions". I recommend a randomized reading approach to best savor the little surprises.
Book Description
A lieutenant's rank belying his undistinguished naval career, Richard Delancey finds that his fluency in French lands him a secret mission, but to his chagrin, it goes awry.
Customer Reviews:
Readable, very different from Hornblower.......2003-09-14
This book deals with Lieutenant Richard Delancey's efforts to find a purpose and direction in his career after stagnating for several years. It is the second in a series, I didn't read the first one, but didn't feel like I'd lost much by skipping it.
For the first two-thirds of the book, the "purpose and direction" plot dominated (at least for me) the naval elements of the story. In fact, very little of the book covers dashing nautical adventure of the type C.S. Forester might have written--Most of it takes place on shore, and the ships seem to be just platforms and vehicles, rather than central elements. Naval battles barely intrude into the story at all.
As another reviewer commented, the last third of the book deals with a spy mission similar to the unfinished Hornblower novel. In effect, the book is four different "episodes" strung together. It is adequately good reading, but not brilliant. The most interesting part for me was watching Delancey grow in ability, find a purpose, and gain confidence in himself as an officer and a leader.
Not a brilliant book, but good enough to make me seek out others in the series (this is the first one I read). I'd give it three-and-a-half stars, if I could.
Wooden action in wooden hulls.......2002-06-15
Very little of this series, or this story in particular, takes place aboard ship. Parkinson clearly prefers life ashore to that afloat, his ships serving largely to move his wooden hero, Delancey, from one intrigue or action on land to another. Following an abortive raid on the Breton coast, Lt. Delancey, at loose ends again, suddenly becomes proactive and joins the coastal Revenue Service (as does Bolitho in the first volume of his much more exciting series by Alexander Kent). Eventually sent out of the way as a privateer, he runs into the shore and instantly constructs himself a spy mission (in effect this is the story Forester failed to complete in his novel, "Hornblower During the Crisis"). While crossing enemy territory Delancey gets into the most impossible situations and concocts one preposterous and elaborate cover story after another. It's fun to see how instantly inventive he is.
These are really stories of naval people, not of the British Navy in the Age of Sail. The few sailing episodes are precisely correct, as if from an instruction manual, worse still when Delancey is just imagining what must be happening elsewhere. The stories do highlight an unusual locale, the British Channel Islands (the "cow" islands: Jersey, Guernsey) just off the French coast. They are not romantic novels in any sense of the word, but plotted in a workmanlike fashion to go where the author wishes them to go, no more. There are too few characters introduced to successfully, suspensfully misdirect the reader from the traitors along the way. Parkinson, of all people, should have known to expand the roster to fill the time available. The volume has good sets of maps for each locale. The cover illustration is a more or less contemporary painting but has nothing to do with this story.
Book No. 2 of the Richard Delancey series.......2001-12-28
This novel, first published in the U.S. in 1973, jumps forward over 11 years from the end of book No. 1 in the series. The reader finds himself in the middle of a scene in 1794 with no knowledge of preceding actions. Richard Delancey is still a lieutenant - assigned to the Grafton, a hulk at permanent anchor, after some unexplained incident alluded to in the plot. A temporary assignment takes him back to Guernsey and the coast of France, but he then finds himself on the beach again, unemployed with no prospects.
Being in the right place at the right time, Delancey receives the temporary command of a Revenue Service cutter. His success leads to certain business interests offering him command of a privateer both in recognition of his abilities and as a means of removing him from the Revenue Service where he was a bit too successful. This provides Delancey with some profit, but also leaves him shipwrecked on the French coast and attempting to escape through Spain, just as the Spanish are entering the war. The remainder of the novel covers his flight through a hostile countryside, and action in Leon as he rejoins the Royal Navy.
The story is a mixture of action on land and at sea. Delancey has some interesting interactions with smugglers. Interaction with smugglers was also used in the plot of "Ramage and the Guillotine" by the late Dudley Pope.
This novel contains secret missions, duels, privateering.......1998-07-30
In 1794 war with France gives Lt Richard Delancey his first active duty since the American Revolution. Delancey's previous naval career was undistiguished. He has no naval mentors, so he is pleased that his knowledge of French, gained through being a native of Guernsey, has lead to him to called on for a special mission landing secret agents in France.
Through no fault of his own, the secret mission further tarnishes his reputation and prospects. It leads to a duel. Reduced to his half-pay Delancey is ready to seize any opportunity.
A chance encounter leads to Delancey learning that the Captain of a customs vessel has been injured. He seizes his chance! He decides that if he carries the news to the Customs Collector for the Isle of Wight he may receive an interim appointment to replace the injured man.
It is not a great opportunity. His acting command only has a crew of 20. And his only hope of remuneration lies in figuring out how to outsmart the wily sm! ugglers. But at least he is at sea.
Delancey's brief experience in the world of intelligence pays off. He has first one, then two, then three early successes. Delancey's confidence returns. He has mastered this task sufficiently well that he realizes that the owners of the smuggling vessels will take steps to keep their vessels out of his grasp. Perhaps they will send them to other parts of the coast?
No, instead he is offered a much better job by a gentleman he suspects owns several smuggling vessels. He is offered the command of a private man of war, the 22 gun Nemisis, based in his home town of St Peter's Port.
Delancey has further adventures aboard the Nemesis, and ashore in France and Spain.
I'll close this review with two comments. I know of no other novel of this period that deal with the nautical aspect of collecting customs duty. I regret that this novel lay out of print for such a long time.

Published more than 30 years ago under a pseudonym, this novel is available for the first time in America. A Confederate colonel escapes to Ireland after the Civil War, only to get caught up in a conflict over there. Taking the guise of a legendary outlaw, he wages his own rebellion to assist the common people.
Customer Reviews:
Pay the Postage!.......2005-04-01
This is great airport stuff. And we need airport stuff, beach stuff, whatever you want to call it. James Patterson is a great beach writer. Ken Follett. A fun read. But like a marathon runner forced to walk up one flight of stairs, you're not going to get too much of a workout.
Colonel Clay escapes incarceration at the hands of the evil Yankees, dodges a lot of slow moving musket balls, performs operations in the field, and with General Lee's blessing, slips through the Yankee lines at Appomatix to head for his father's homeland and meet his destiny, ah yes darlin', in Ireland. Erin Go Bragh. Ireland forever.
Clay has a trust fund there and also an estate. But Ireland suffers the same fates as his beloved south and Clay is caught in the middle. Eventually he sides with the tenant farmers and chooses to fight against the intolerance and ignorance of their English masters. Which is an interesting flip-flop from his war years 1861-1865, if you choose to think about it. Mr. Higgins chose not to.
All in good fun. A lot of longing looks and flutteriing eyelashes from the equestrian knockout Joanna Hamilton. Don't take it seriously. Enjoy it for what it is. Three stars, Larry Scantlebury
A Confederate soldier in Ireland.......2005-01-01
Take another stereotypical Confederate gentleman soldier, honorable to the point of ridiculousness, his black valet who is treated with respect and affection and you have just one more bit of unbelievable historical adventure. Higgins takes this hoary old convention and moves it to Ireland where our hero finds himself taking the side of the Irish versus their English oppressors. From the predictable culture clashes to the even more hilarious "masked rider" bit, (Zorro, anyone, or perhaps Dr. Syn, The Scarecrow) this book moves briskly from one cliché to another. Higgins has written some fine thrillers, but this is almost their exact opposite.
How much?.......2004-06-06
One of Jack Higgins' earlier novels, "Pay the Devil" is nevertheless an entertaining if uneven read. Unlike his later novels, "Pay the Devil" weaves not the same level of intrigue, but this is tempered by frequent bouts of action.
The narrative involves the return of Colonel Clay Fitzgerald to Ireland following the American Civil War to inherit the house left by his Uncle. Once in Ireland, however, Clay fast becomes outraged at the unfair treatment of the tenant workers. Adopting the mantle of the legendary outlaw Captain Swing, the Colonel sets out to avenge the peasant workers.
Unfortunately, for all its pace, the novel has its fair share of inconsistencies. Firstly, the syntax is simple and often without sufficient description. Secondly, the plot is uneven and often unsatisfactory, with the reader left without the knowledge of "Who was the original Captain Swing?"
All facets considered, While certainly an interesting diversion, "Pay the Devil" has too many flaws to recommend.
Fast paced, easy to read.......2002-07-10
I read this book in two days. The story is very quick. Higgins introduces the main character very quickly. They are easy to identify with.
This is the classic story of good v evil. Might v Right. The lowly Irish peasants against the aristocratic English gentry. Into all of this is thrown a Confederate cavalry officer with American ideals about freedom and liberty. He must choose sides.
A good book if you are in a hurry. Not a lot of depth to the story or the characters. Higgins has left the ending open for a followup with some of the same characters if he so chooses.
Colonel Clay goes to Ireland.......2002-06-16
Clay thought that he was going to have peace and just enjoy that money he had just inheritied...he was wrong. Clay is drawn into a conspricy of arrogant Irish landlords and hard working (and hard headed) Irish rebles named the Rogians.
As the book heats up, Clay takes sides and goes dashing around the country in the gise of "Captain Swing"(he looks like The Shadow).
I recommend this to anyone who loves a good book.

This is an early Silhouette Desire of JAK writing as Stephanie James, and is JAK as her best. Re-released at a promo price, which is in keeping with the small size of the book, it is a good find for JAK collectors.
Emelina Statton is about to break into a breach cottage when Julian Colter and his dog appear out of the night fog and stop her. She is aware that Julian is renting a cottage not far away. Rumours and gossip from the small, sleepy village says he is a gangster hiding out until his 'troubles' cool down. But someone with dubious ties is exactly what Emelina needs. Her brother is being blackmailed and she is there to find some means to put a stop to it before it ruins his career.
Julian has been watching her, and decides he will help her, but for a price. Emelina will do anything to save her brother, including making a pack with the Devil - or a mobster in this case.
It is good fun, start to finish!!

Devils and Dobermans.........2001-05-23
In "The Devil to Pay", Jayne Ann Krentz clearly shows the foundations of her trademark style. Emmy Stratton and Julian Colter strike sparks from their first meeting (and we have to love Xerxes the dog). Written in the mid '80's, Jayne reaches a point where she allows her heroines to be feisty, opinionated and to take risks - some with the hero - there is much less surrendering here and much more mutual satisfaction. The dialogue is delightfully witty (another soon-to-be-Krentz trademark) and the plot is carefully crafted as always. If you are looking to spend some time watching two lovers stumble into their future together, this is the book for you.
Not her best, but still great........2001-05-10
Emelina "Emmy" Stratton's brother, Keith, was being blackmailed by an old college friend, Eric Leighton. Keith wanted to turn the situation over to the police. Knowing Keith's career would be forfeited if he did so, she asked for time to find proof that Leighton was doing something illegal so Keith could blackmail the blackmailer into leaving him alone.
Julian Colter was vacationing on the beaches of Oregon. When he and his Doberman, Xerxes, found Emmy attempting to break into one of the beach cottages, he confronted her for answers.
Most believed Julian was connected to the mafia and was keeping a low profile for a bit. Emmy made a deal with the devil. If Julian helped her try to prove the owner of the cabin, Leighton, was doing something illegal at the cabin, he could name his reward. Julian intended for Emmy to be the reward he demanded!
**** Not this author's best work, but still wonderful! It kept my eyes glued to the book from page number one. Well worth your time and money! ****
