Review: "Tall Tail"

Mary Minor Haristeen, “Harry” to her friends, is almost run off the road by Barbara Leader, home nurse to retired Governor, Samuel Holloway.  It is a good thing that Barbara was dead behind the wheel, or Harry would have had a word with her.

            The corner announces that it looks like a heart attack, but an autopsy will be performed.  Besides, Barbara was young – it seemed pretty unlikely.  Unless there was something they didn’t know.

            Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, her cats, and Tee Tucker, her corgi, try to fit the pieces together when it is revealed that Barbara was poisoned.  Could it have anything to do with the fact that the ex-Governor is writing his memoirs?

            The story alternates between present day and the slave plantation from the Governors distant past, along with a story about a slave who murdered his master.

            If humans had any brains at all, they would have figured it out much more quickly, but the animals knew…will you?

            You’ll need to pick up a copy of Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown’s Tall Tail.
