Synopsis

Two brothers fight over the inheritance of five acres and a hunting beagle kennel—until one of them is murdered. It’s up to “Sister” Jane Arnold to hunt down the truth, with a little help from her four-legged friends, in this delightful new mystery from New York Times bestselling author Rita Mae Brown. “Cunning foxes, sensible hounds, and sweet-tempered horses are among the sparkling conversationalists in this charming series.”—The New York Times Book Review It’s hunting season in the foothills of Virginia, and “Sister” Jane Arnold is content to spend it alongside her friends, particularly one Olivia Bradford. Olivia is a formidable figure in town—not least because she keeps the peace between her sons Winston and Andrew—but when she passes away, the brothers return to their squabbling ways. Faced with contention over their inheritance, tensions escalate, and the two get into a fierce fight—and soon after, one of them turns up dead. All eyes turn to the surviving brother, the suspect with the most obvious motive. But Sister can’t fathom that he’s capable of murder, and soon suspects begin to reveal themselves left and right. The more she learns, the more Sister begins to doubt the people she’s hunted with for decades. … Could the killer be hiding in plain sight?

Rita Mae Brown is one of my must read mystery writers and she never fails to disappoint. The latest novel in the long running Sister Jane series is delightful. Set in Virginia, "Sister" is a Master of the Hounds which means she is in charge of a fox hunting club. Readers learn that Foxes are not har......more

Goodreads review by Kathleen on October 18, 2025

This latest in the long running Sister Jane series might be most enjoyed by those familiar with Brown's world of talking animals and fox hunting (no foxes are harmed) in Virginia but she does provide a cast list and basic fox hunting info at the start and that will help new readers (as well as remin......more

Goodreads review by Ann on November 15, 2025

This is book 17 in the Sister Jane series. It can be read as a stand alone but you'll miss out on some of the background of the many familiar characters. This is the first I can remember that they are running beagles and hunting rabbits. the situations are the same as the animals all talk and share......more

Goodreads review by Megan on November 08, 2025

Another wonderful addition to the Sister Jane series! I love how these books remind me of the Disney movie Robin Hood with the talking animals but minus the fox hunting. I was saddened to read about Olivia's passing and leaving her two sons behind to continue their squabbling matches. This is a grea......more
