Kurzbeschreibung
The thrilling start of a tail-wagging new series!
With her high-powered Wall Street job in the rearview mirror, thirty-four-year-old Mags Rogers arrives at her great-aunt Jeep Reed’s sprawling Nevada ranch to reassemble her life. In the passenger seat is Mags’s beloved wirehaired dachshund, Baxter. At Jeep’s side—to Baxter’s distress—is Jeep’s loyal German Shepherd mix, King. The growlings are mutual. Then someone pipe-bombs Red Rock Valley’s pumping station, endangering the water supply. Deputy Pete Meadows links the sabotage to a string of local murders. In her search for answers, Mags uncovers fascinating history about Jeep’s ranch, including an intriguing connection to Buffalo Bill. Drawn to each other, Mags and Pete join forces to solve various mysteries, as Baxter and King team up to protect their humans from a growing threat.

Not an auspicious start for this series...

I NEVER thought I would say this about a RMB book, but -- I'm not sure I'm even going to finish this book. I just don't care about the characters, the mystery about the water rights just staggers along and there aren't enough animal scenes. If RMB had focused more on her characters than on the issues surrounding water rights so that the mystery itself is clearer, the book would have been much better. It's an author's right to express her own views but when I want to read about the pros and cons of an issue, I read a newspaper. When I want to read for entertainment and lessons about the natural world, I usually go to RMB.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
When Wall Street tanked, many people lost their jobs including broker Magdalene "Mags" Rogers. Broke and disillusioned she returns home to her great-Aunt Magdalene "Jeep" Reed who owns the 10,000 acre ranch Wings in Nevada. She has bought more land and water rights to other property in order to stop more mansions from being built that would use up the water and destroy the ecosystem.
On the day that Mags comes home, someone ignites a pipe bomb to blow up property belonging to SSRM (Silver State resource management); responsible for seeing that there is enough water to supply the citizens of the state. A man concerned with Nevada's water supply is found murdered in a hotel room. Not long after that another pump is blown up. An SSRM top official is killed. Some people who bought small plots in the Mini Mansion complex Horseshoe Estates are killed and one person is on the run. Others refuse to talk while the police begin to realize all these events are linked. Jeep and Mags becomes involved when a corpse is found on their property. They help the police with background information while their dogs can't make their humans understand their concerns.
Baxter who belongs to Mags and King who owns Jeep have interesting amusing conversations with each other as each believes they are the top dog except when it comes to the safety of their two women. As the canines argue over who is the lead, ironically much of book involves human greed on a scale of The Treasure of the Sierra Madres. This is the first book in Rita Mae Brown's new series and readers who enjoy the author's Miss Murphy capers will love A Nose for Justice as the human and canine cast is strong and the whodunit exciting.

This is the debut in Ms. Brown's new detective series. It is a good mystery story and I realy enjoyed that aspect of it. For us fans of Sneaky Pie & Mrs. Murphy this new series does not use the animals characters to any great extent. BUT the story is good and keeps you guessing to the end. There have been comments on the later stories in the Mrs. Murphy series about Ms. Brown being too "preachy". This aspect is missing from this book. Just enjoy a good mystery story.
