The Tail of the Tip-Off
When winter hits Crozet, Virginia, it hits hard--and hangs on for
months. That's nothing new to postmistress Mary Minor "Harry"
Haristeen and her friends, who keep warm with hard work, hot
toddies, and rabid rooting for the University of Virginia's women's
basketball team at the old stadium affectionately dubbed "The
Clam." But the usual postgame high spirits are laid low when
contractor H. H. Donaldson drops dead in the parking lot. And
pretty soon word has spread that it wasn't a heart attack that did
him in. It just doesn't sit right with Harry that one of her fellow
fans--perhaps even an acquaintance or neighbor sitting close by in
the stands--is a murderer. And as tiger cat Mrs. Murphy is all too
aware, things that don't sit right with Harry make her restless,
curious, and prone to poking her not-very-sensitive human nose into
dangerous places. So the animals start paying closer attention to
what the people around them are doing--and they're the first ones
to realize when the next murder occurs.
It seems obvious to Harry that the deaths are connected--and she
intends to find out exactly how. There's no shortage of suspects,
considering that H.H. was a ladies' man who'd left a trail of
broken hearts all over town--the most recent belonging to his
wife-- and that the second murder victim was not very popular in
Crozet.As the police launch their investigation, Harry picks up
clues through savvy questioning of everyone she knows. But it's the
critters who are most attuned to trouble--they scent something
wicked wafting Harry's way on the tail of the next snowstorm. And
as Harry draws closer to the truth about a brutal killer, Mrs.
Murphy and her friends realize it's up to them to make sure their
intrepid mom lands on her feet.
