NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER âAs feline collaborators go, you couldnât ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown.ââThe New York Times Book Review Itâs mid-May and murder is once again in full bloom in Crozet, Virginiaâor so it seems to Mary Minor âHarryâ Haristeen. The trouble begins when Harryâs dear friend Miranda Hogendobber takes her on a leisurely drive that ends in a narrow drainage ditch. The chaos continues when the Very Reverend Herbert Jonesâs Chevy pickup also abruptly goes kaput. But these vehicular mishaps are nothing compared to the much more distressing state of a mechanic discovered by Harry in a local repair shop: His headâs been bashed in. Despite numerous warnings from her much-loved coterie of friends, human and otherwise, Harry quickly surmises that the time has come to pop the hood and conduct her own investigation. Her animal companions see disaster fast approaching but can do little except try their best to protect their foolishly intrepid human. Harryâs race to the truth leads straight to powerful forces determined to avoid scrutiny at any costâeven if it means running Harry Haristeen off the road for good.
Includes a preview of Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brownâs next Mrs. Murphy mystery, The Litter of the Law.
âHarry and her pals are on the case. . . . [Brown] fills the series with rich central Virginia color, and readers will greet the recurring characters with fondness.ââRichmond Times-Dispatch â[A] delightful book.ââHuntington News
