Rita Mae Brown
"Rita Mae Brown (Hanover, Pennsylvania, 28 november 1944) is een Amerikaanse schrijfster van romans en scenario’s. Ze is het meest bekend van haar lesbische bildungsroman Rubyfruit Jungle uit 1973, die als een klassieker in het genre wordt beschouwd. Rita Mae Brown werd in 1944 geboren in Hanover, Pennsylvania, als dochter van een ongehuwde tienermoeder die haar ter adoptie opgaf aan Ralph en Julia Brown. Rita Mae was leergierig en kon op haar derde al lezen. De bibliotheekpas die ze op haar vijfde kreeg was dan ook wel aan haar besteed.

Samenvatting
Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown are back chasing mystery with their unique circle of Southern sleuths. And though the changing colors of fall are a beauty to behold, this year the scattered leaves hide a grim surprise.
As feline collaborators go, you couldnt ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown.The New York Times Book Review
Autumn is in the air in the Blue Ridge Mountain community of Crozet, Virginiaand all the traditions of the changing seasons are under way. Mary Minor Harry Haristeen cleans her cupboards, her husband, Fair, prepares the horses for the shorter days ahead, and the clamorous barking of beagles signals the annual rabbit chase through the central Virginia hills. But the last thing the local beaglers and their hounds expect to flush out is a dead body.
Disturbingly, its the second corpse to turn up, after that of a missing truck driver too disfigured to identify. The deaths seem unrelateduntil Harry picks up a trail of clues dating back to the states post-Revolutionary past.
The echoes of the Shot Heard Round the World pale in comparison to the dangerous shootout Harry narrowly escapes unscathed. Next time, it may be the killer who gets lucky. But not if Harrys furry friends Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker can help it. Lending their sharp-nosed talents to the hunt, theyll help their mistress keep more lives from being lostand right an injustice buried since the early days of Americas independence.
Praise for A Hiss Before Dying
Clearly the cats meow.Library Journal
Thoroughly delightful!Red Carpet Crash
An air of mystery, a touch of history and that undeniable voice . . . Sneaky Pie Brown is back on the prowl.Daily Progress
The staccato conversation style of the contemporary chapters contrasts nicely with the more fluid prose of those set in the eighteenth century. Browns signature asideson such subjects as local and national politics, traditional art, race, God, and just about anything else that strikes her fancygive readers plenty to think about.Publishers Weekly
