Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. 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. ( )Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This 10th book in the Sister Jane mystery series is yet another wonderful study in the finer details of fox hunting. The reader is proffered historic detail, descriptions of hunt practices, roles and manners of participants - all of which lays out the landscape of the fox hunt. One quickly discovers that there is a tremendous amount of effort and planning which goes into each hunt. The descriptions of the actual hunts are so beautifully detailed that one imagines that they're flying over fence and post alongside other riders. Add a haunting clarion call of a cowhorn and the sudden arrival of a ghost and you've got yourself quite a cozy mystery. Kudos to Ms. Brown. If you are a fan of the traditional fox hunt, then this just might be the book for you. I am grateful to author Rita Me Brown, publisher Ballantine Books and LibraryThing Early Reviewers for having provided a free copy of this book. Their generosity, however, did not influence this review - the words of which are mine alone. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. 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. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. 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. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.

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. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
