Review #64
Rita Mae Brown and her feline partner, Sneaky Pie Brown, are back with this new mystery starring Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, the sleuthing cats, Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and corgi, Tee Tucker. This time they must catch a killer determined to turn a birthday party into a funeral.
Aunt Talley Urquhart is looking forward to celebrating her 100th birthday at her Fulton, Mo., alma mater, real-life William Woods University. But all is not well at William Woods U.
Stockbroker Flo Langston, class of '74, is sure her hated classmate, Mariah D'Angelo, who heads the WWU Alumnae Association, has mishandled university funds. Mariah vanishes thus missing Aunt Talley's party. Then someone shoots Flo dead at home in St. Louis after Flo reveals that Mariah has been selling fake high-end watches in her very expensive jewelry store. Taunting email messages ("Catch me if you can") begin arriving (with Mariah’s name on them) in the computers of various WWU alumnae, including Inez Carpenter, Aunt Talley's 98-year-old best friend. Now…the search for Mariah is really on……………!
If you like unusual characters, you’ll love this bunch of Crozet natives…human and animals!
This is a just-for-fun reading with a mystery attached!
