review 1: When I picked up this book it seemed like it would be from the POV of the animals. It wasn't. It was only partially from their view and their view didn't add anything to the story. The mystery was okay. I actually enjoyed the easy writing style. The characters were well written. ...

review 1: This was the first Rita Mae Brown book I had read. I was jumping in in the middle of a series. It was a little like going to a party where everyone else already knows everyone else. There were quite a lot of characters who enjoyed catching up on the news of each other. Fortunatel...

review 1: This is the first book I have read by Rita Mae Brown, and I savored every page of it. I was a bit intimidated by the long list of characters in the front of the book because in the past I have become thoroughly confused with more people than I could keep track of. However, I foun...

review 1: I still love the Mrs. Murphy mysteries, but as the series has continued the focus seems to have shifted from the animals to the humans. Harry is very interesting, but I read the books because I love the animals. I do like the very obvious research that Rita Mae Brown puts in her ...

review 1: when I picked this book up at the library it was billed as a mystery. I enjoy the Sneaky Pie mysteries as an escape, especially if I've just read a really complicated plot type of book, but this one is definitely on my list of "step away from the book". After reading come of th...

review 1: Much too predictable for my tastes, though I've been reading a far number of mysteries these days so I may just be hypersensitive to the whodunnits. This is the only one of this series I've read thus far, so I can't judge the entire series on this one book. I may try another in f...

review 1: In Rita Mae Brown's latest murder mystery, she heads out West--Reno, Nevada, to be precise, for a potboiler of a mystery in A NOSE FOR JUSTICE. With water rights, a one hundred-year-old skeleton, and the history of the Old West teeming at the surface of the story, Brown writes wi...

review 1: I was listening to this book, so the review is specifically about the audiobook. I have no idea what the story is about (OK, a murder occurs in a cigar shop, that's about all I caught). The reason I couldn't follow the story is that the author narrates this book herself, and her ...

review 1: I've been a fan of Brown's Mrs. Murphy mystery series since I was in middle school --- naturally, I enjoyed the latest installment of this wonderful series - it's full of small-town secrets, sordid rumors, affairs, society class-ranking structure, Southern charm, and old South tr...

review 1: I think the moral of the story is, don't reread authors that you loved in junior high because they will NOT measure up in adulthood. I...pretty much hated this. I mean, it was okay but it was NOT great. It became increasingly annoying having the author interject her own political...

review 1: Gave up on this halfway through, once the materialism and Republican-libertarianism became totally unbearable. When did Rita Mae Brown become Ayn Rand?Also mildly irksome is the inclusion (quite briefly, and apparently only introduced as an accessory for the protagonist) of a "to...

review 1: I love Rita Mae Brown's books with cats and Sneaky Pie Brown which take place in Virginia. This book features dogs and takes place in the ranches around Reno, Nevada area. The story line could have been taken right out of the news a few years back about the mortgage meltdown a...
