Crime & Mystery

""Sister"" Jane Arnold must use her wits and savvy foxhunting skills to solve the mystery in this exciting new novel from New York Times bestselling author Rita Mae Brown.

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?
