Fifth-year Harvard grad student Dulcie is still writing her thesis, and everyone agrees she needs some time away from her books. So she reluctantly accompanies friends to watch a new local theatre company update Ovid with a disco version of The Metamorphosis—and Dulcie finds herself with a front row seat to murder.
This could be the end of the struggling company, which is also plagued by money woes and romantic rivalries. But was jealousy the reason the performer was stabbed? Or are there darker secrets behind the scenes? And what role does Gus, the troupe's feline mascot, play? Dulcie must untangle the truth before she gets as mangled as the classics.
Stages of Grey is the eighth book in the Dulcie Schwartz Feline Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Simon’s diverting eighth Dulcie Schwartz mystery (after Grey Howl) finds Dulcie, now a fifth-year Harvard grad student, in need of a break from her academic toils. As a distraction, Dulcie attends a “disco interpretation” of Ovid’s Metamorphosis at a Cambridge theater, accompanied by her boyfriend, Chris Sorenson. During the performance, a blonde actress lures Chris to the stage by picking his pocket, and a cat walks a tightrope above the audience. After the show, Dulcie and company discover the blonde actress lying dead in an alley, her throat slashed. Was she the victim of a passing stranger, or possibly of domestic abuse? Or is the truth even more sordid? The feline complications of the plot should please those readers who crave shed fur in their whodunits. Dulcie herself is an endearingly fragile but determined protagonist. Agent: Colleen Mohyde, Doe Coover Agency. -
