Nine Lives to Die: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

NATIONAL BESTSELLER â€¢ NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SUSPENSE MAGAZINE

Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown return with a mystery starring Mary Minor â€œHarryâ€ Haristeen, intrepid kitty sleuths Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and Tee Tucker, the ever-faithful crime-solving corgi. This time around, Harry and her animal friends track a killer whose trail has gone as cold as the weather in December.
Â
NINE LIVES TO DIE
Â
Winter has come to Crozet, Virginia, bringing with it a fresh blanket of snow. Harry and her husband, Fair, are hip deep in their usual end-of-the-year activities: distributing food to needy residents, and shopping for outfits for the Silver Linings youth organizationâ€™s annual fundraising gala. But buried beneath the white stuff are dark secrets from Crozetâ€™s pastâ€”and Harry and her posse of pet detectives are determined to sniff them out.
Â
Two Silver Linings mentors have been found dead in suspicious circumstances. If that werenâ€™t enough to chill the bones of the locals, a pair of severed human fingers has turned up in a pencil jar in the bookkeeperâ€™s office at St. Cyrilâ€™s church. What does this grisly display have to do with the mysterious disappearance of Harryâ€™s voluptuous high school Latin teacher, a quarter of a century ago? Maybe nothing. But when the animals make another gruesome discovery in the woods behind Harryâ€™s farm, it becomes clear that terrible crimes have been committed in Crozetâ€”and somebodyâ€™s gone to great lengths to cover them up. Itâ€™s time to stop shoveling snow and start digging for clues.
Â
The truth will be revealed. A cold case will be solved. And a twenty-five-year-old love triangle is about to get untangled. The weather outside may be frightful, but Harry and her four-legged friends refuse to be spooked off the case.
