Another good story!

Another good story by Rita Mae Brown. Can’t wait for the next one to come out.

My First Cozy Mystery

I was excited to try my first cozy mystery novel as I am a big fan of TV shows such as Midsummer Murders, Hercule, Knives Out, Clue, and other Agatha Christie type films. I have read many thrillers and mystery books before and wanted to see if this particular genre could live up to the screen.
Now this was a book club pick. I was expecting more investigation rather than thought provoking dialog regarding recent political events and past societal down falls. This and the seemingly meaningless separate time line stories of the past kind of threw the stories pacing for me and felt more like filler than anything else.

That being said, this will not be my last attempt at the genre as I am curious to see how classic writings such as Agatha Christie novels can compare. I guess I was expecting more or a Who-Dun-It.

Where's Rita??

I really struggled to finish this one!! it doesn't read like the other Rita Mae Brown storyline! why weren't the cats involved more in solving the murder? It lacks in Harry being more headstrong & kind of just dropped off in the middle 😳
Sorry, that's my honest opinion. Hope the next one is livelier.

Hiss and Tell

I have enjoyed the the change of generations. At the end it all came together. Dearly love your books. I’m from Charlottesville myself and enjoy the references.

I love this series!

RMB and Sneaky Pie have given us another great treat! This book is timely and very interesting in addition to being incredibly entertaining! I love the dual story lines! As a criminal defense lawyer, past Irish Wolf hound owner, and avid equestrian, RMB and Sneaky Pie write books that feel bespoke just for me!
