Another brilliant work by Rita Mae Brown. Will definitely be buying and recommending! Fresh, fun, and fantastic!

Two stories in one book, one about the past and the time of slavery, one today about a hound race. The two stories meet at a graveyard. Talking cats and dogs make the book fun to read

A massive nor’easter has hit northern Virginia, where Mary Minor “Harry” Harristeen joins groundskeeping efforts at the National Beagle Club at Aldie as the date for its springtime Hounds for Heroes veterans’ benefit approaches. Harry’s fellow volunteers, including her oldest friend, Susan Tucker, comprise a spirited group of hunting enthusiasts, some former service members themselves. But things take a sinister turn when, after a routine tree cleanup along the Club’s hunting trails, retired foreign services officer Jason Holzknect is found dead, throat slit from ear to ear. Soon enough, another murder in their midst jolts the preparations, convincing Harry that the killer is familiar with the Club—and must be close by, masked in plain sight.



Thank you to net galley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book it was a great experience

Whiskers in the Dark by Rita Mae Brown is not the first in the series, but it was the first I've read. Two mysteries happening at the same time - one present day and one historical - so there's a lot for the reader to follow along with. Nicely written, and even the pets have a say in the story. Everything wrapped up nicely at the end. Enjoyable.

Another great Harry and animals adventure. This time folks are dying around a beagle and basset hound contest. I’m enjoying the story in 1787 as much as the modern story.
