Synopsis

When a decades-forgotten car bobs to the surface of a local creek, with a body still in the driver’s seat, it’s up to Mary Minor “Harry” Haristeen and her beloved cats and dogs to save the day, in this latest mystery from Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author, Sneaky Pie Brown. Spring is in full bloom, and everything is blossoming just right for Harry in Crozet, Virginia. Restorations to the long-shuttered local segregated school are nearly complete, and the school will be renamed to commemorate an important community member. To honor the former students, Harry and her friends are hard at work planning a reunion. It’s a big affair, and the crew spends their days hanging plaques at the gym, arranging food, and writing speeches. But the fifteen acres behind the school are enticing for more than just a school reunion. One realtor soon reveals plans to buy the land and build over it—unless the crew can find a way to stop the sale. In their search to prevent the purchase, they come across something unexpected: a dead body, which might not be the first to show up this season. With a little aid from Tee Tucker the corgi and Irish Wolfhound Pirate, as well as feline sleuths Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, Harry just might have a chance at solving this mystery and preventing the land purchase once and for all.

I have not read ALL of them, but the mystery itself is always stellar, and as I really geek history that aspect wins me over every time. Be aware that there is a cast of characters with simple explanations at the beginning of each......more

The restorations are finally complete for the long-closed segregated school in Crozet. The school was actually mixed native American and Negro. But for a sleepy town, Crozet has more going on. A car turns up in the river with a long missing body in it. A realtor is trying to get the land behind the......more

Goodreads review by Kim on April 23, 2025

This series is always a solid 5 stars for me. The books are well written and the mysteries cleverly crafted. Though this time the cold case murder at the beginning of the book really didn't solidly tie into anything. I like to have all the loops closed :) I live not far from the Charlottesville area......more

Goodreads review by Jeanne on April 22, 2025

Sealed with a Hiss is book #33 in the Mrs. Murphy Mystery series by Rita Mae Brown. I appreciate the Cast of Characters and Animals at the beginning for those of us who haven’t read this series for a while. These characters are wonderful and it was fun catching up with them. The relationships are wha......more

Goodreads review by Marty on March 19, 2025

I haven't read previous books, but felt right at home with the characters both two legged and four. Homey little cozy story with lots of history of a segregated school in Virginia that is being restored. Interesting history lesson, but the murder doesn't happen until 3/4 of the way through, without......more
