Synopsis
Rita Mae Brown takes a break from the popular Mrs. Murphy series (which she pens with her cat Sneaky Pie) and produces a third mystery set amongst the fox-hunting elite (and the local wild and domestic creatures) of rural Virginia. A controversial art exhibit creates some unrest at an exclusive all-girls’ prep school, but that is nothing to the uproar when one of the corpses at the Halloween dance proves not to be a prop, but entirely real. Headmistress Charlotte Norton and school neighbor "Sister" Jane Arnold, Master of the Jefferson Hunt, investigate the murder, assisted by the talking animals whose voices Sister is able to hear.
