Synopsis

A blackmailer targeting wealthy members of “Sister” Jane Arnold’s club has turned the hunters into the hunted in this thrilling mystery from New York Times bestselling author Rita Mae Brown.

It’s the start of fox-hunting season and Sister is training a new generation of hounds in eager anticipation of Opening Hunt. But before they make it to that exciting day, several members of the hunt club receive ominous videos in which
they appear to be doing scandalous, career-ending deeds. The videos are doctored, but does it matter? The unknown blackmailer promises to publish the clips if they don’t get paid, and even the most upstanding citizen can be brought down by the court of public opinion.

While Sister and her friends try to unmask the dastardly mind behind the videos, mysteries abound in their beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain town home. Two men die, apparently by suicide, shocking a community that never saw their deaths
coming. And rumors abound that Old Paradise, the estate being lovingly restored by Crawford Howard, houses a secret stash of gold from its original owner. Does someone want the treasure badly enough to kill for?

Sister and her fellow Jefferson Hunt Club members, including friends both twoand four-legged, are on the case—and with any luck, they'll catch the criminals before the first horn sounds on opening day.

This is the 14th book in the Sister Jane series and it's a good one. The fox hunting season is just getting started and COVID protocalls are in effect.

Goodreads review by Julie on September 05, 2022

I have been a fan of this author for many years. I enjoy all the characters: human and animal alike. I must say that her Mrs. Murphy series is actually much more enjoyable than the Sister Jane. Ms. Brown is an avid fox hunter and these books go into great detail about hunt clubs. Do not shy away fro......more

Goodreads review by Dana on June 16, 2022

Review: Thrill of the Hunt (Rita Mae Brown). I took this from the new books section of the local library last time I was in there. Then I realized it wasn't part of Rita Mae Brown/Sneaky Pie Brown's series of mysteries I love, but another series altogether (the Sister Jane series, about 10 in all; I......more

Goodreads review by Caroline on June 14, 2022

This one was marginally better than the last one but, all in all, I found it rather dry and boring in a lot of spots. I didn’t enjoy it anywhere near as much as books 1-12.......more
