Murder, She Meowed. Herz Dame sticht, engl. Ausgabe
The annual steeplechase races at Montpelier, once the home of James
and Dolley Madison, are the high point in the social calendar of
the horse-mad Virginians of cozy Crozet. The race meet offers a
cracking good time with old friends and a chance to get even--on
the racecourse--with old enemies. Postmistress Mary Minor
"Harry" Haristeen will be in the thick of the action on
this day of high spirits and fierce competition. But the glorious
thoroughbreds and the pinks and greens and purples worn by the
riders do not blind Harry to the dangerous undercurrents that start
to surface. There's sure to be some emotional fireworks at
Montpelier. Still, no one expects the day to end in tragedy.
Found dead in the main barn is one of the day's riders, a knife
plunged through the jockey's heart. The only clue is a playing
card, the Queen of Clubs, impaled over the fatal wound. Within the
wealthy, tight-knit world of horse owners, trainers, and jockeys,
the victim had both admirers and enemies.
Was the murderer's motive greed, drugs--a pervasive evil in the
race world--or sexual rivalry? Luckily for Crozet's humans, the
tiger cat Mrs. Murphy is right at home in the stable yard...and on
the trail of the shocking truth. But will Harry catch on in time to
stop a killer grown bloodthirsty with success?
In "Murder, She Meowed Sneaky Pie Brown and her co-author,
Rita Mae Brown, have penned another clever and sassy mystery that
probes the depths of human depravity and the heights of feline
genius.
