    About this audiobook

    A mystery full of colorful characters (both two- and four-legged!), gorgeous country landscapes, timeless traditions, and the breathtaking thrill of the fox hunt. The fox has made short work of the hen house and is wreaking havoc across the once-peaceful Virginia hunt country, as Master of the Hunt "Sister" Jane Arnold, her gentleman friend Gray Lorillard, the members of the Jefferson Hunt Club, and their loyal, clever hounds confront a most challenging--and all too human--adversary.

      After finishing this book, I find I have mixed feelings about it. This is the 10th book in the “Sister” Jane series. The series takes place in the horse country of Virginia and centers around the fox-hunting society of that area. The book is told in several different “voices” – the people involved, their horses, dogs, and cats, the foxes they are all chasing – and the birds that watch from above. I like the idea of the book (and the mystery in it) – but I found I have a lot of trouble keeping the characters straight! I found it very confusing – the dialogue shifts from people to animals regularly and I found it hard to follow. I doubt if I will read any more of the series because I found it so confusing. I won this book from Library Thing in exchange for an unbiased review.

      Jane Arnold "Sister" to her friends, has been the Master of the Hunt for the Jefferson Hunt Club for 40 years. Fox hunting has a lot of traditions from the breeding of the hounds, to the appropriate dress of the riders. Tenth in the Sister Jane series, Sister is investigating the disappearance of the charming Wesley Carruthers, Hall of Fame Huntsman in 1951. This books spends a lot of time describing the hunt, the horses, the people and the traditions while the mystery of Carruthers appears as an afterthought. Not my cup of tea. I prefer the Harry Harristeen series.

      This is one of the better books in this series. All of the usual characters are back, and there are new developments in some of their lives. The main plot revolves around the appearance of the "ghost" of a man who disappeared in the 50s, and why he may have reappeared. It's pretty easy to figure out who he is very early in the story, even though the main characters don't get it until the very end (which required a fair amount of suspension of belief, considering their intelligence in most other matters). But, this doesn't detract from the story at all. In the end, a murder is solved, a few new characters emerge, and old characters move into new phases of their lives. This book was more character than plot driven, and Ms. Brown is so very good at writing likeable, complex characters that it was a real pleasure reading it. The hunt scenes, which are always an integral part of this series, were also detailed and exciting. I highly recommend it.

      humor, amateur-sleuth, animals, suspense, mystery This is my first foray into the Sister Jane series, and it was fun! I am always glad that her stories are always American hunt rules which is simply sport of chase without harm. The tale moves along briskly, the characters are engaging and intriguing, and there is plenty of mystery, suspense, and humor. No need to recap the book nor add spoilers, just skim the publisher's blurb and enjoy! Many thanks to NetGalley for granting my request.

      I could not get into this book-read more than half of it. The communication among the animals is right on par with Brown's other series and other books. If you're a fan of her works, I would still take a look at this. Don't take me not getting into as judgment. The writing was good. The plot idea is good. Just couldn't get into it.

      Ghosts taking selfies? Weevil disappeared in 1954, now he is taking selfies in the Virginia Hunt Museums. That is the crux of the matter. 'Sister' takes us on another wonderful series of hunts - cubbings because the season isn't opened yet. Following along during the hunts strange occurrences: huntsman horn echoes, attacks on marijuana growers, Sister and Aunt Dan take us down memory lane to solve two questions: who took the selfie and what really happened to Weevil. Very good read, accurate descriptions of Virginia hunts and great characters.

      Weevil Carruthers disappeared in 1954, never to be seen again. He was quite the charmer, quite handsome and admired.In 2017 he is back - or is her - and is slowly trying to bring the past to light - to get some kind of resolution - but who is this really.Mysterious or is it?

      So sad I barreled right through this book, because now I will have to wait for the next in the Sister Jane series! Rita Mae Brown can cover the same territory in her books as they do on the Hunts and it never ever gets old for me. The writing and description of the land and people of the Jefferson Hunt is done so well it's like you're living it while reading in your favorite chair. Sometimes now walking my dogs down the lane I feel like I'm out walking the hounds. So that's good writing, enjoy this whole series if you've not read it yet!

      I received this book as part of the Early Reviewers program here at LibraryThing. This wonderful novel checks in once again with Sister Jane Arnold and her fox hunting family and friends for a new mystery revolving around the "ghost" of a man missing (assumed diseased) since 1954 who shows up looking quite alive and as young as ever, blowing the cowhorn he used when we was once the Master of the Hunt. As usual, Rita Mae Brown mixes in many interesting tidbits about foxhunting, Virginia, history, and some politics as she draws you into the mystery as Sister slowly but surely works out the puzzle. I love all the information about the dogs and foxes as well as seeing some of the story unfold from the perspective of the animals involved. Very enjoyable story and delightful writing style.
    • 3/5
      I really wanted to enjoy this story because it is a mystery and I love mysteries. The premise is that a huntsman and ladies’ man Wesley Carruthers disappears in 1954 having presumably stolen some jewelry. Was he murdered or did he run off? 60 years later, his ghost appears to visit those from his past (if they are still alive). All good, but it is inundated with so much detail on fox hunting and there are nonhuman characters (such as pets, foxes and the such), that it swayed me from enjoying the story or understating. The most interesting aspect was the climax/conclusion as it made sense then.
    • 3/5
      All of the makings of a classic cozy can be found in Rita Mae Brown's new novel: Crazy Like A Fox. In this latest installment of the Sister Jane novels, we learn of the mysterious disappearance of a charismatic Huntsman - nearly a generation before the story opens - that most folks familiar with the event suspect was more likely a case of murder most foul.

      I'm so so so sorry it has taken so long to review this book, I can not locate the copy sent to me, I was able to find a copy at my locate library. So glad I did, it gives me a look inside of a world that is unfamiliar---fox hunting--- got lost once in a while, but a page or two later it became clear... well work your time.

      I received this book as part of Early Reviewers program. I knew nothing about fox hunting before reading this book. The glossary and character lists were essential to helping me learn about this sport. The author provided lots of background information to assist the reader. The characters were well drawn and the descriptions of the hunting settings were colorful and added interest to the novel. I enjoyed the nuances as the mystery unfolded and appreciated the exciting wrap up. The animal conversations were humorous and totally believable, as any pet owner could attest. I highly recommend this book to mystery readers, fox hunters or not.
