Hiss Of Death (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

I picked up this book by chance a few years ago and held it on hand for a day when I wanted a fun murder mystery. Being a Virginian, I thought that reading a book set in my home state would be enjoyable. But the story isn't gripping, the author's opinions about life and politics are off-putting, and even though I'm halfway through I don't even care who done it. I'm looking forward to giving this away and getting the slot on my bookshelf back. Horrible is the only word I have for it. I wanted a book that contained a mystery, not one that was nothing but political rants. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the characters getting ill and bringing the real world into a story - in fact I prefer it, since it gives something to bond with a character over. But I found this story nothing but a political beat down on health care and environment issues, with little to no plot line, other than the character gets ill and somehow solves a murder. In the past, I have throughly enjoyed her books. Having spent a few summer weeks of my childhood in Crozet, I instantly connected with Sneak Pie Brown, Harry and the others, and love tramping through places I know and love. However, if more of the future sneaky pie brown books are like this one, then I will have to say goodbye to this series.
