The Tell-Tale Horse: A Novel ("Sister" Jane)

The Tell-Tale Horse: A Novel ("Sister" Jane)

Itâ€™s February, prime foxhunting season for the members of Virginiaâ€™s Jefferson Hunt Club, when a shocking event alarms the community. A woman is found brutally murdered, stripped naked, and meticulously placed atop a horse statue outside a tack shop. The theft of a treasured foxhunting prize inside the store may be linked to the grisly scene, and everyone is on edge.

With few clues to go on, â€œSisterâ€ Jane Arnold, master of the Jefferson Hunt Club, uses her fine-tuned horse sense to try to solve the mystery of this â€œLady Godivaâ€ murder. But Sister isnâ€™t the only one equipped to sniff out the trail. The local foxes, horses, and hounds have their own theories on the whodunit. If only these peculiar humans could just listen to them, theyâ€™d see that the killer might be right under their oblivious nosesâ€“and that Sister could become the killerâ€™s next victim.
