A Nose for Justice

A Novel

By: Rita Mae Brown

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

Co-author of the best-selling Mrs. Murphy novels, Rita Mae Brown launches a new series with this first mystery featuring Baxter the wirehaired dachshund.

When Baxter and his owner, Mags, leave New York for Nevada, they find themselves embroiled in a real head scratcher. First, the local water-pumping station is sabotaged. Then, a murdered man’s bones - dating back to the 1800s - are unearthed in a barn owned by Mags’ great-aunt. As Mags attempts to put the pieces together, Baxter readies himself to protect her at all costs.

Love the interweaving of past and present

Very good story, but often had to roll my eyes. The overly dramatic narrative made me think of a really bad high school or community theater production. Males did not come off as very masculine, again, because of the narration. i.e. Lonnie came across as an immature adolescent.

different but still good

Any additional comments?

I am a Rita Mae Brown fan, for sure

Not what I expected from Mrs. Murphy's author

Too many facts. Too little mystery and dog chatter. It turned into a boring read and I was really looking forward to meeting a new animal detective.
