Product Description:
It’s autumn in cozy, idyllic Crozet, Virginia—a time for golden days, crisp nights…and murder. Mrs. Carla Paulson is one of the diamond-encrusted “come-here” set who has descended on Crozet with plenty of wealth and no feeling for country ways. She’s determined to make her new house the envy of all her well-heeled friends—and enemies —and she’s hired architect Tazio Chappers to build it. From the start, the project—and Mrs. Paulson—are a major headache for all involved. But no one could foresee that it would end with Mrs. Paulson stabbed to death at a gala fund-raiser with Harry’s friend Tazio standing over her, holding the knife. Now Harry must solve what seems to everyone else an open-and-shut case. Her four-legged partners —sleuthing cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter and corgi Tee Tucker—see it Harry’s way. But will they have to choose between catching the purrfect killer and saving Harry?

This is the most frustrating read I have ever experienced. All the characters are defined at the front of the book for a reason: one has to constantly go back to see who is who. The pets have names, too!!! Many times the dialogue is from the standpoint of the cats. I'm sorry I ever bought this book. It will be donated to a library for people who have far more time on their hands than myself. I stopped reading 1/3rd into the book. I will not purchase other books by the author for they will likely ... Read More

Rita Mae Brown use this novel as a vehicle to push her pro-infanticide views. All the liberal shibboleth are there, all the so-called arguments of the last 30 years, all the grammatical engineering like "reproductive rights", "pro choice" and other manipulative euphemisms are present. all pro-life people are described as greedy jerks or perverts and all pro-infanticide people are described as compassionate (the compassion does not extend to the victim babies of "choice", of course). In short: her ... Read More

I enjoyed the early books in this series, but like many other reviewers, am getting tired of the politics involved. Also, while I appreciate the descriptions of life in rural Virginia, is it necessary for Ms. Brown to trash people from other areas?
I'm also noticing inconsistencies, some of which have already been pointed out by others. One that I noticed that hasn't been brought up yet is that Big Mim states to Little Mim that she never had an abortion, but in an earlier book in which ... Read More

(More like 3.75 stars compared to other books in the series.) Some of the reviews actually discouraged me from going to this latest Mrs. Murphy mystery as soon as it arrived. I thought, hmmm, so series fatigue must have got it. In fact, it is not bad; not the best, but it should not disappoint most regular readers. I like the world Rita Mae Brown has realized through this series, a rural western Virginia town (the very real Crozet) that over the years has grown urbanized rural. RMB uses the excuse ... Read More
