Rest in Pieces - Rita Mae Brown

Mrs. Murphy thinks the new man in town is the
cat's meow.... Maybe she should think again.
Small towns don't take kindly to strangers--unless
the stranger happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous and
seemingly unattached male. When Blair Bainbridge
comes to Crozet, Virginia, the local matchmakers
lose no time in declaring him perfect for their
newly divorced postmistress, Marry Minor "Harry
Haristeen." Even Harry's tiger cat, Ms.
Murphy, and her Welsh Corgi, Tee Tucker, believe he
smells A-okay. Could his one little imperfection
be that he's a killer? Blair becomes the most
likely suspect when the pieces of a dismembered corpse
begin tuming up around Crozet. No one knows who
the dead man is, but when a grisly clue makes a
spectacular appearance in the middle of the fall
festivities, more than an early winter snow begins
chilling the blood of Crozet's very best people.
That's when Ms. Murphy, her friend Tucker, and her
human companion Harry begin to sort throughout the
clues . . . only to find themselves a whisker away
from becoming the killer's next
victims.
