Brown and her feline collaborator, Sneaky Pie, offer the 12th in their mystery series featuring postmistress "Harry" Haristeen (and her own feline and canine collaborators). In the upscale Virginia landscape of horse farms and Range Rovers, a local monastery's statue of the Virgin Mary has started crying tears of blood; shortly after, one of the order's brothers and a local journalist are murdered. Harry and her friends, both human and otherwise, can't resist being drawn into the mystery. The reading by Kate Forbes is quite good, but the story itself is thin, and for those uninitiated to this long-established series, it is disconcerting to have animal characters with their own dialog and breathtaking that they carry on the involved philosophical discourses that comprise this novel. Recommended only for hard-core fans.-Kristen L. Smith, Loras Coll. Lib., Dubuque, IA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
