Whiskers in the Dark: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

Whiskers in the Dark: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

Death stalks the Blue Ridge Mountains as a centuries-old mystery resurfaces and murder mars the lead-up to an annual beagle competition, in a thrilling new tale from Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown.

â€œAs feline collaborators go, you couldnâ€™t ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review

A massive norâ€™easter has hit northern Virginia, where Mary Minor â€œHarryâ€ Harristeen joins groundskeeping efforts at the National Beagle Club at Aldie as the date for its springtime Hounds for Heroes veteransâ€™ benefit approaches. Harryâ€™s fellow volunteers, including her oldest friend, Susan Tucker, comprise a spirited group of hunting enthusiasts, some former service members themselves. But things take a sinister turn when, after a routine tree cleanup along the Clubâ€™s hunting trails, retired foreign services officer Jason Holzknect is found dead, throat slit from ear to ear. Soon enough, another murder in their midst jolts the preparations, convincing Harry that the killer is familiar with the Clubâ€”and must be close by, masked in plain sight.

The intrigue extends to the grounds of Harryâ€™s beloved local church, where the identity of an eighteenth-century skeleton wearing precious pearls remains a mystery. The anonymous womanâ€™s neck had been snapped, and marks on the grave where her body was secreted indicate that someone recently tried to remove it, leading Harry to question how well she really knows those around her.

As always, Harryâ€™s crime-solving cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and Tee Tucker the Corgi share her determination to sniff out the foes among friends, even those long buried. Harry will need her four-legged companionsâ€™ help more than ever: a ghostly beagle only they can see may hold the key to the culprit.
