Book Reviews of the The Tell-Tale Horse: A Novel
Customer Review: No Foxes Injured
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Rita Mae Brown's Sister Jane foxhunting mysteries, despite the fact that I do not hunt, nor ride, nor even share many of Sister Jane's political opinions.
The characters are well drawn, and I am especially appreciative of the Cast of Characters lists -- both animals and people -- as well as the explanation of specialized terms. Sister Jane is one of those people who knows everybody and is familiar with finding unusual solutions to problems that work out just fine. She is usually surprised to find out who the murderer is, of course, and I like that too.
This particular novel would be interesting to a wide audience, including young people, hunters, Southerners, and people who "remember when times were different." Its only drawback is that, if you begin with this one, you will have a strong desire to go back and read all the books that come before it.
