In Brown's latest (after Hounded to Death), "Sister" Jane Arnold and her friend Tootie Harris are in New York City for a meeting of hunt clubs. Unfortunately, Adolfo Galdos, a personable Cuban tobacconist, is murdered minutes after Sister and Tootie leave his shop. When a similar murder occurs in Boston, Sister looks into the matter. As narrator, Brown does an inadequate job bringing her characters to life, though her tone is uneven. Sometimes she raises her voice for no apparent reason, while at others her pitch is high and squeaky. It is difficult to differentiate among characters as the Brown fails to modulate or change her voice with each one. Her animal characters cannot be distinguished from her humans.
VERDICT Recommended for libraries whose patrons are interested in foxhunting or who are fans of the series. Other patrons will find the audiobook uninteresting.
