Harry Haristeen, Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tee Tucker return for this cozy from the New York Times best-selling tandem of Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown. When Harry's beloved Aunt Tally approaches her 100th birthday, her alma mater schedules a birthday celebration that doubles as a fundraiser. But then a member of the alumnae association disappears. Her car is on campus, yet she's nowhere to be seen-and Tucker has sniffed out traces of human blood.

      Murder, interesting characters, funds missing from a university, and amateur pet detectives should present all the ingredients required for a cozy listen. Instead, the addition of incongruous passages of political opinion that serve no purpose in developing the plot result in a disjointed listen. Kate Forbes's warm reading style creates subtle characterizations, including those of Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, the pets who enjoy a bit of amateur sleuthing. Forbes's skilled and well-paced narration helps to soften the political digressions and moderate the feeling of being lectured to. Forbes's confident narration creates a pleasant listen; however, more from the pet detectives and faster plot development would have been welcome. K.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      Shady money dealings fuel Brown's solid 18th mystery featuring Mary Minor Haristeen and her cat pal, Sneaky Pie (after 2008's Santa Clawed
      ). Aunt Talley Urquhart is looking forward to celebrating her 100th birthday at her Fulton, Mo., alma mater, real-life William Woods University, but all is not well at WWU. Stockbroker Flo Langston, class of '74, is sure her hated classmate, Mariah D'Angelo, who heads the WWU Alumnae Association, has mishandled university funds. Mariah misses Aunt Talley's party and vanishes. Then someone shoots Flo dead at home in St. Louis after Flo reveals that Mariah has been selling fake high-end watches. Taunting messages (e.g., “Catch me if you can”) begin arriving in computer in-boxes of various WWU alumnae, including Inez Carpenter, Aunt Talley's 98-year-old best friend. Faithful fans already familiar with the characters will enjoy the cozy antics, but others may struggle to pay attention until people start dying.
