About the Thrill of the Hunt (Paperback)

A blackmailer targeting wealthy members of "Sister" Jane Arnold’s club has turned the hunters into the hunted in this thrilling mystery from New York Times bestselling author Rita Mae Brown.

"Cunning foxes, sensible hounds, and sweet-tempered horses are among the sparkling conversationalists in this charming series."—The New York Times Book Review
It’s the start of fox hunting season and Sister is training a new generation of hounds in eager anticipation of Opening Hunt. But before they make it to that exciting day, several members of the hunt club receive ominous videos in which they appear to be doing scandalous deeds. The videos are doctored, but does it matter? The unknown blackmailer promises to publish the clips if he or she doesn’t get paid, and even the most upstanding citizen can be brought down by the court of public opinion.

While Sister and her friends try to unmask the dastardly mind behind the videos, mysteries abound in their beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain town home. Two men die, apparently by suicide, shocking a community that never saw their deaths coming. And rumors abound that Old Paradise, the estate being lovingly restored by Crawford Howard, houses a secret stash of gold from its original owner. Does someone want the treasure badly enough to kill for?
