Critic reviews

"Brown's proven brand of murder and mayhem played out against a background of Virginia gentility and idealized animals is once again up to scratch." (Publishers Weekly)

Another incredible MMM!

Truly, such an incredible series! The mystery keeps me guessing all the way until the end.

Great

Excellent as usual. Love her books. The animals are so witty. Especially pewter It was an intriguing mystery. I could not figure out the murderer until the very end.

Good mystery

This was an easygoing mystery, nothing intense. The usual cast of characters. Harry seemed to be flip flopping on the romantic side while openly "dating" Fair + a new interest. I'd rather Harry have a new love interest in the series than keep doing this dance with Fair. I am kind of over their love story. But oh well. This wasn't one of my favorite Mrs Murphy mysteries as the suspense and conclusion weren't that gripping for me. Overall holds the tone of the series and a light listen. Kate Forbes as usual is a winning narrator!

Sneaky Pie Brown & Her Insights

A delightful listen! At first I found the running commentary re: the animals' thoughts a bit tedious and distracting but it didn't take long to be sucked into the plot. Once that happened, I was no longer conscious of the technique. Loved the bickering and banter among the animals. Lots of rich ironic twists in this plot. Lots of interesting characters. Loved Harry, the heroine. Will read (listen to) more by this author.

This was the best so far

I’ve listened to all of the books in order, and this one had me guessing right up to the end! I love the development in Harry and Fair’s relationship - it’s been repairing so organically. The animals have such fantastic personalities and are so unique. Also, that the main characters are not wealthy and sometimes worry about money or their homes or vehicles makes them more relatable than almost any book I’ve ever read
