The Purrfect Murder by Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown


Alright, I've been slacking on this again, but I guess it doesn't matter since no one knows. This was a great book. Rita Mae writes a couple of different series as well as some independent titles. Some of them are even a bit risque, with lots of lesbian action. This series she write with Sneaky Pie Brown (her cat) is her best in my opinion. Her other series, about fox hunting, is interesting, but as someone who thought fox hunting died out in the 1800s, it is a bit too much.

One major thing that I enjoy about this series is how she constantly adds new characters in every book so that she doesn't have to use any of the favorites as a killer or kill them off. Normally, new characters last between 1 and 4 books before they are involved in a case. Enough that you are comfortable with them and think you know them, but short enough that it is believable that they are a killer.
