Publisher Description
The beloved writing tandem of Rita Mae Brown and her feline collaborator Sneaky Pie craft another tantalizing mystery with Hiss of Death. Spring is in the air in Crozet, Virginia, and Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen looks forward to her first season of harvesting grapes. But then Harry falls ill and finds herself in a hospital-where a nurse turns up dead. When another hospital staffer kicks the bucket soon after, it falls to Harry's animal friends to crack the case.

" did not finish..if I want a lecture, I'll choose to attend, I'm afraid I'm through with Ms. Brown. "

" I love this series. It's like visiting with old friends. Comfortable yet something new every book. I also love the animals' take on what's going on. Rita Mae Brown is spot on- she clearly is an animal person herself. "
— Caran-marie, 5/22/2011 -
" The animals didn't play as big a role this time, and RMB is very preachy about healthcare, cancer, etc. "
— Gina, 5/18/2011 -
" I have officially outgrown this author and her simplistic views. Loved the early books and characters but time to move on. "
— Theresa, 5/8/2011 -
" I always enjoy a visit with the talking animals, but the humans in this one were extraordinarily preachy. "
— Holly, 5/2/2011 -
" A short Mrs. Murphy mystery. Enjoyable as usual but weighted by Harry's brush with cancer. "
— Barb, 5/1/2011 -
" I always enjoy reading these mysteries for light-harted laughter at the antics of the animals and the characters that have appeared in all Ms. Brown's novels. However, I found her very preachy in this novel which took away some of my enjoyment. "
