"In this new foxhunting mystery, an investigation into a missing and very valuable object flushes out murder, ghosts, and old family rivalries. Sister Jane Arnold and a pack of four-legged friends must catch the scent of a killer and unearth a long-buried truth"--

"Sister" Jane Arnold, among the boisterous company of horses and hounds, must smoke out a devious killer who may be closer than they first think as a string of bizarre murders sweeps the East Coast. While outside on Manhattan's Midtown streets a fierce snowstorm rages, nothing can dampen the excitement inside the elegant ballroom of Manhattan's Pierre Hotel. Hunt clubs from all over North America have gathered for their annual gala, and nobody is...

"On the Ides of March, an ill wind blows no good -- especially when it knocks down a tree limb in the oldest equine graveyard in America, revealing remains that are decidedly un-equine. It falls to Master of the Foxhunt, the indomitable "Sister" Jane Arnold and her trusty hounds to investigate an old murder with present day repercussions. To start off, the complicated relations between three old families and their prize thoroughbreds must be untangled....

Feline sleuth Mrs. Murphy and her furry felines investigate two deaths as their hometown prepares for its annual springtime festival.

When a well-liked local builder dies of poisoning during a local basketball game in Crozet, Virginia, Harry Haristeen and her coterie of animals sift through a discouraging number of suspects as they search for the killer.

During an autumn scenic drive in rural Crozet, Virginia, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen and husband Fair discover the body of a murdered accountant lying in a cornfield. Rooting out the guilty murderer in the treacherous center of a lucrative conspiracy requires Harry's farmer's wisdom--along with the quick wits and extraordinary senses of Sneaky Pie, Pewter, and Tucker.

As a wave of spring tilling and planting sweeps over Crozet, Virginia, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen is especially excited: this is her first year harvesting grapes to sell. But then a health crisis sends her reeling into the forbidding world of hospitals and doctors, treatments and procedures. Although surviving this journey will be tough, Harry will have lots of support. Others will have worse luck.
