A review by auntblh
Hiss of Death by Rita Mae Brown

3.0

I liked the parts that weren't "preachy" about all the ills of the world but those were few and far between. It got to the point where it seemed to me that rants were being added to pad the length of the novel; I didn't feel they were necessary or appropriate. I love the Mrs. Murphy mysteries and will probably read the next couple, because I have them, but if they are as heavy on issues as this one, I won't be reading any more after that. It takes away from the fun (can you say that about a murder mystery?) and the characters.
