Tall Tail: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

In this fast-paced mystery by Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown, Mary Minor â€œHarryâ€ Haristeen and her animal friends seek to solve a whodunit rooted in eighteenth-century Virginiaâ€”uncovering a shocking secret that refuses to stay buried.
Â
TALL TAIL
Â
At any moment a perfect summer day in Crozet, Virginiaâ€”nestled within the Blue Ridge Mountainsâ€”might turn stormy and tempestuous, as Harry knows too well when a squall suddenly sweeps in. In a blink, Harryâ€™s pickup nearly collides with a careening red car that then swerves into a ditch. Harry recognizes the dead driver slumped over the vehicleâ€™s steering wheel: Barbara Leader was nurse and confidante to former Virginia governor Sam Holloway.
Â
Though Barbaraâ€™s death is ruled a heart attack, dissenting opinions abound. After all, she was the picture of health, which gives Harry and her four-legged companions pause. A baffling break-in at a local business leads Harry to further suspect that a person with malevolent intent lurks just out of sight: Something evil is afoot.
Â
As it happens, Barbara died in the shadow of the local cemeteryâ€™s statue of the Avenging Angel. Just below that imposing funereal monument lie the remains of one Francisco Selisse, brutally murdered in 1784. Harryâ€™s present-day sleuthing draws her back to Virginiaâ€™s slave-holding past and the hunt for Selisseâ€™s killer. Now itâ€™s up to Harry and her furry detectivesâ€”Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tee Tuckerâ€”to expose the bitter truth, even if it means staring into the unforgiving eyes of history and cornering a callous killer poised to pounce.
