In Litter of the Law by Rita Mae Brown (#22/32 in the Mrs. Murphy series), “Harry” Haristeen, a Smith College alum, and art history major, is confronted by Joshua Hill, dressed like a scarecrow, and Hester Martin, dressed as a witch, both dead, bullet through the heart. In her effort to find the killer, she is aided by Deputy Cynthia Cooper, and three pets: Mrs. Murphy, a tiger cat, Pewter, the other cat, and Tucker, a corgi. The story revolves around organic farming and Walter Ashby Plecker, eugenicist, racist, and the head of Vital Statistics in Virginia from 1912 to 1946. The book is more of a history lesson than a mystery.
