Whisker of Evil (BROWN, RITA MAE) from Bantam Price: $16.97 Customer Review:  Rita Mae Brown, along with her cat Sneaky Pie, writes excellent mysteries set in the small town of Crozet, Virginia, with Mary Minor "Harry" Harristeen, the local postmistress, as the protagonist. Helping her are her three pets, Mrs. Murphy and Pewter--the cats--and Tucker--the corgi. All three... |

The Tail of the Tip-Off from Bantam Price: $7.50 Customer Review:  Rita Mae Brown's earlier, more-literary work--most particularly the widely celebrated RUBYFRUIT JUNGLE--assures her place in the collections of serious readers, who tend to sneer at her "Mrs. Murphy" murder mystery series. But no doubt Brown is laughing all the way to the bank: although no one would... |

Murder on the Prowl from Bantam Price: $7.50 Customer Review: My Grandma didn't like books with naughty language and excess sex. In the '80s, I started to read different mystery series that I thought she would like and the Mrs. Murphy books fit the bill. Even though Grandma's gone, I still read the Mrs. Murphy books because I'm hooked on this lightweight, but... |

Cat on the Scent (Mrs. Murphy Mysteries (Paperback)) from Bantam Price: $7.50 Customer Review: Although I'll still give it three stars for the simple reason that Rita Mae Brown writes with enjoyable style, I can't recommend CAT ON THE SCENT as highly some others in the "Mrs. Murphy" series. Brown's mystery novels have always been more about funny characters than plot, but this particular... |

Wish You Were Here (Mrs. Murphy Mysteries (Paperback)) from Bantam Price: $7.50 Customer Review: "Wish You Were Here" is serviceable mystery, good for an afternoon read, but nothing to write home about. The idea of an amateur detective investigating a series of murders while unknown to her, her pet cat and dog are doing the same, is an original plot idea. Unfortunately, the mystery they are... |

Starting from Scratch from Bantam Price: $15.20 Customer Review: "If you can tolerate my temperament you'll probably enjoy the writer's manual". In Starting From Scratch, author Rita Mae Brown includes tons of personal information and a lot of valuable writing advice. From early childhood Brown had a desire to be a writer. "It never occurred to me to be... |

Pay Dirt (Mrs. Murphy Mysteries (Paperback)) from Bantam Price: $7.50 Customer Review: I absolutely love Rita Mae Brown's characters! I have approximately three more to read and I will have read all she has out at present. Through reading her Mrs. Murphy Mysteries, I have a very vivid appearance of each and every character in Crozet. They're family! Mrs. Murphy, Tucker and Pewter are... |

Full Cry from Ballantine Books Price: $17.46 Customer Review: Don't read the above publisher's blurb and expect it to describe the book! I am a Rita Mae Brown fan and love her books. The book was very good-her "usual animals are smarter than people" (and we just don't know it!), there to help save the day. But, as I read along in the book, it was nothing like... |

Murder at Monticello (Mrs. Murphy Mysteries (Paperback)) from Bantam Price: $7.50 Customer Review: This, like all of the other Mrs. Murphy mysteries, was very entertaining and was an exciting read. There are a few problems, however. The author expects us to know Thomas Jefferson's entire life history, all of his relatives, all of his slaves, and everything ever written about Monticello. Raise you... |

Rubyfruit Jungle from Bantam Books Price: $7.50 Customer Review: Rita Mae Brown's novel "Rubyfruit Jungle" had me laughing out loud by the time I reached page 5. The book tells the life story of Molly Bolt, a poor girl who comes from rural Pennsylvania.

High Hearts from Bantam Books Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Well, I read "Rubyfruit Jungle" and loved it, and rated it "5 stars". Now I've read another Rita Mae Brown book, and it's even better, so I suppose it goes without saying that it's also a five star effort. "Rubyfruit Jungle" was five stars purely on the basis of a fascinating main character; the... |

Outfoxed from Ballantine Books Price: $6.99 Customer Review: If you are looking for another Sneaky Pie Brown "type" book, this is and it isn't one of those. Yes, the animals talk, but it's mainly a "people" book. It's also just as interesting a read as her other fiction books, and the information about fox hunting was fascinating---if you like to learn about... |

Sneaky Pie's Cookbook for Mystery Lovers from Bantam Price: $11.17 Customer Review: I hate to cook. That said, I loved making the recipes in this book not only for myself but for the critters whom I serve as household help. The recipes are easy, non-time consuming, and my mother nearly fainted when I told her I made them all by myself. The anecdotes are wonderful, especially the... |
