By Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown (Bantam Books, $25)
That famous mystery-writing cat is at it again, and this time, the crafty feline is off to the shows--horse shows, that is.
When Mary "Harry" Haristeen and her animal investigators travel to a famous saddlebred horse show, they encounter a plethora of foul play. Their host, Joan Hamilton, is robbed the first day they arrive, and the stolen object is a cherished family treasure: a valuable good-luck brooch.
Things get worse when a famous actress's prized mare is stolen, and a well-liked groom is found dead in an act of murder. Who will save the show and solve the crimes? Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tee Tucker, of course, the star characters of best-selling Virginia author Rita Mae Brown's 14 previous mysteries. --Ashley Erin Mayer
