I just cannot get enough of the farmer/animal lover/author Rita Mae Brown. I discovered her while desperately searching our local Wal-Mart a few years for something new and different to read. A paperback with a silhouette of a cat on the cover coaxed me to look further. Then I opened the book and there was a pencil/charcoal picture of a cat and a Corgi. I was hooked. I had a loveable white cat and my daughter (my granddog) is the mother of a Corgi. No need to read further. I was hooked. This book is set in the American West--Nevada instead of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and a town called Crozet outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. This book still has loveable animals who chatter with each other giving the reader a delightful view of "their humans" (owners). Their banter will appeal to any animal lover--warts and all. Ms. Brown inserts characters into political situations that cause the reader to mull these matters over. The service from this store is SUPERIOR in every way. That is such a blessing these days. Box stores are ok, but having to drive 112 miles round trip to visit one is not economically sound. I have not seen this book in those stores, so finding this one was a surprise and I like surprises!!!!!Read full review
Rita Mae has a writing style that is so exciting, interesting and understandable for any type of reader. The mystery is very much up in the air right until the very last of the book. There is a way in which Rita presents the book that makes me hope that the next book is already on its way to me!! Keep them coming Rita Mae!!
This book is not up to par with Ms. Brown's other books. There was way too much detail about "water rights" in this book and not enough about the character action. Not really worth the cost of the book. I dearly Loved Ms. Brown's other books but not this one.
what research went into writing this book. And Rita makes you think! It's a mystery, and the dogs are quick to help guide, entertaining and thought provoking
