A Novel
The hunt is on in this new installment of Rita Mae Brown's clever and engaging series. Only instead of chasing foxes into their dens, the locals must track down a killer and save the life of one of the most beloved folks in town.
"The tale is mostly carried by its unusual setting and a rather cozy plot featuring high-tech and financial wizardry." - PW.
"Story lines that go nowhere, and the multilayered clues to Lady Godiva's murder are too obscure or confusing to build tension. More than we need to know about the lives of the rich and venal." - Kirkus.
