Mrs. Murphy mysteries

In this second entry from the New York Times best-selling series by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown, the citizens of Crozet, Virginia, reap a gruesome harvest-of human body parts. Ever since her husband's affair, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen has taken a sabbatical from men. The 30-ish divorceE is content to tend her farm and gain a bird's-eye view of the neighbors from her perch as small-town postmistress. Yet when a hunky city slicker comes to...

In a story written from Sneaky Pie's perspective, the intrepid feline sleuth temporarily halts her busy writing career to run for President, a campaign marked by a revolutionary animal-rights agenda and a frisky flock of prospective cabinet members.

A busy holiday season for Harry, her husband, and her posse of pet detectives is interrupted by dark secrets from the community's past involving a cold case and a twenty-five-year-old love triangle.

When the governor of Virginia passes away from a telling disease, Harry and her furry detective cohorts look for answers in the 18th century, where they discover a secret ancestry that originated in brutality and silence.

Postmistress "Harry" Haristeen and her human and animal companions investigate a mystery dating back to Virginia's post-Revolutionary past, an effort shaped by the creative influence of an artistic new friend and the struggles of their predecessors from the eighteenth century.
