Publisher Description

It's February, prime foxhunting season for the members of Virginia's Jefferson Hunt Club, when a shocking event alarms the community. A woman is found brutally murdered, stripped naked, and meticulously placed atop a horse statue outside a tack shop. The theft of a treasured foxhunting prize inside the store may be linked to the grisly scene, and everyone is on edge. With few clues to go on, "Sister" Jane Arnold, master of the Jefferson Hunt Club, uses her fine-tuned horse sense to try to solve the mystery of this "Lady Godiva" murder. But Sister isn't the only one equipped to sniff out the trail. The local foxes, horses, and hounds have their own theories on the whodunit. If only these peculiar humans could just listen to them, they'd see that the killer might be right under their oblivious noses-and that Sister could become the killer's next victim.

"I should go ahead and give this book 5 stars even tho I just started it. I love me some Rita Mae Brown. She uses a gimmick: The animals in her two successful series of books talk to each other. And she does this beautifully, logically and, most amazing of all, quite believably. "

    " Though all of the "Sister" books are a bit heavy on foxhunting details, this one allows too many pages for foxhunting etiquette and attire at the expense of the mystery. "
