Santa Clawed

Santa Clawed

New York Times bestselling authors Rita Mae Brown and her feline partner, Sneaky Pie Brown, are back for the holidays in a new mystery featuring Mary Minor â‚¬Å“Harryâ‚¬Â Haristeen, the sleuthing cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and corgi Tee Tucker. Can they save the season from a killjoy whoâ‚¬s decided to gift the festive little townâ‚¬Â¦with murder?

As Harry well knows, thereâ‚¬s hardly a place on earth cozier than Crozet, Virginia, at Christmastime. The snowflakes drifting lazily down, the soft glow of the winter light, the sound of old carols in the streetsâ‚¬Â¦even cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter get into the spirit batting ornaments and climbing the holiday tree. In fact, itâ‚¬s this yearâ‚¬s tree that Harry and her husband, Fair, have gone to fetch when they find the one theyâ‚¬ve chosen grimly decorated with a dead body.

The tree farm is run by The Brothers of Love, a semimonastic organization that tends to AIDS patients. The brothers live in a monastery atop the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains. Harry is surprised to find an old high-school friend associated with The Brothers of Love. Christopher Hewitt wasnâ‚¬t a bad man, but good works werenâ‚¬t exactly one of his priorities. But then, if even Scrooge could turn over a new leaf, certainly Chris could. And after the scandal that all but destroyed his life, there were probably few in Crozet who needed the gift of a second chance more.

Harry knows she shouldnâ‚¬t take it personally, but it was her tree that someone left the corpse under. Now, as the season grows merrier, a murderer is growing bolder. One by one, prominent men of Crozet are being crossed off Christmas shopping lists and added to the morgue. And if Harry and her four-legged helpers arenâ‚¬t very goodâ‚¬"and very carefulâ‚¬"this Christmas may be her last.
