These books have gotten worse and worse, slower and slower. Great for ESL readers due to endless repetition. Sheesh. This one had so much political-cultural commentary that Brown felt the need to write an addendum stating that the view expressed by the characters are not necessarily those held by the author. More sheesh. ( ) Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I have read every book in this series and enjoyed all of them. The Big Cat Nap keeps up the tradition of quality writing. And it does so with only some of the unnecessary, rather biased and somewhat obnoxious politics that has seeped into the last several books. Something else that's different is that in this story the animals don't play as integral part in solving the mystery as they have in past books.If you've never read any Rita Mae Brown books the Squeaky Pie Brown books are a good place to start, although I suggest you start with the first book since the stories build on each other with each successive book. The stories are engaging and interesting and sometimes you learn things. In this book I learned about the difference between genuine auto parts and after market parts. Yeah, it doesn't sound that interesting just reading that sentence, but it totally make sense in the context of the story, and the explanations were actually quite interesting. Anyway, I really like Rita Mae Brown and was thrilled to get this book and read it. I wasn't disappointed. If you like interesting characters, animals, and good mysteries, you'll really enjoy this series and this book! Ms. Brown has a way of drawing you into the city of Crozet and making you care about the people who live there. I wish I could visit and meet them. I can't wait for the next book! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ??As feline collaborators go, you couldn??t ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown.???The New York Times Book Review It??s mid-May and murder is once again in full bloom in Crozet, Virginia??or so it seems to Mary Minor ??Harry? Haristeen. The trouble begins when Harry??s dear friend Miranda Hogendobber takes her on a leisurely drive that ends in a narrow drainage ditch. The chaos continues when the Very Reverend Herbert Jones??s Chevy pickup also abruptly goes kaput. But these vehicular mishaps are nothing compared to the much more distressing state of a mechanic discovered by Harry in a local repair shop: His head??s been bashed in. Despite numerous warnings from her much-loved coterie of friends, human and otherwise, Harry quickly surmises that the time has come to pop the hood and conduct her own investigation. Her animal companions see disaster fast approaching but can do little except try their best to protect their foolishly intrepid human. Harry??s race to the truth leads straight to powerful forces determined to avoid scrutiny at any cost??even if it means running Harry Haristeen off the road for good. Includes a preview of Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown??s next Mrs. Murphy mystery, The Litter of the Law. ??Harry and her pals are on the case. . . . [Brown] fills the series with rich central Virginia color, and readers will greet the recurring characters with fondness.???Richmond Times-Dispatch Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
