Mary Minor “Harry” Haristeen’s beloved, tart-tongued neighbor Aunt Tally is about to turn the big 1-0-0, and the alumnae association of Tally’s alma mater is throwing a big fund-raising bash in her honor. The plan is to celebrate Tally’s centennial and recoup some much-needed school revenue lost in the cratered economy, but when a killer blizzard bears down and a board member goes missing, it falls to Harry and her menagerie of mystery solvers to track down the truth behind what is rapidly becoming a perfect storm of embezzlement, political corruption, and the kind of long-smoldering enmity that can explode into murder. Does the key lie in a forty-year-old unsolved death? If so, Harry and her four-legged friends better find it or—even at a hundred years old—Aunt Tally may outlive them all.

Good story, way too much of the author jamming her personal opinion about taxes into the mouths of her human characters.

2.0 Cat of the Century (Mrs. Murphy Series #18)
text Cat of the Century (Mrs. Murphy Series #18)
The series has gotten worse with each book! I still love the animal characters, but the humans were getting annoying. And although I like politics, Brown's insertions of her opinions on taxation, the size of government, gun rights, etc, really had no place in a light-hearted ANIMAL mystery.

The Cat of the Century, the 18th in the line of Sneaky Pie Browne mysteries, concerns, as usual, murder.I enjoyed the plot-line part of this mystery, as always--a little light and not too hard to figure out who did it, but enjoyable.I am coming more and more to object, however, to the endless preach...
