Book Description:
As Master of a prestigious hunt club, Jane Arnold, known as Sister, is the most revered citizen in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountain town where a rigid code of social conduct and deep-seated tradition carries more weight than money. Nearing seventy, Sister now must select a joint master to ensure the club's future. It is an honor of the highest order--and one that any serious social climber would covet like the Holy Grail.
When the competition flares up between two determined candidates, Southern gentility flies out the window. Soon the entire town is pulled into a rivalry that is spiraling dangerously out of control. Even the animals have strong opinions. But when opening hunt day ends in murder, Sister is stunned. Now, with the help of a few clever foxes and hounds, she must lay the trap to catch the killer.

My friend turned me onto Rita Mae Brown by giving me "Bingo" to read, and she's one of my favorite authors now. If you grew up reading the "Saddle Club" series you'll love Brown's hunt club mysteries - they're like the grown up version but just as fun.

Part of a fun series that highlights fox hunting in VA and personal relationships
This book appeals to many genres...fox hunters; horse enthusiasts; animal lovers and mystery buffs. An enjoyable read.

Tish O. (a really good read that is just a little out of the ordinary. i wish Ms.Brown would go back to this style rather than all those cat mysteries.
