“Fans of Nancy Martin‘s series featuring the blue-blooded Blackbird sisters of Philadelphia, or Roxy Abruzzo, the niece of a Pittsburgh mobster, might be surprised by her latest heroine.
A dog. A very rich dog.
In Miss Ruffles Inherits Everything (Minotaur Books, $25.99), a ‘Texas cattle cur’ inherits a fortune when her rich mistress dies.
‘There are lots of stories like this,’ says Martin, who will talk about her new book on Oct. 31 as part of Mystery Lovers Bookshop’s 25th anniversary celebration. ‘My daughter teaches at a law school in Texas, and one of her colleagues has written a book about animals who have been left fortunes in wills. It’s sort of a Leona Helmsley story.'”
We're unleashing Miss Ruffles on Saturday! (Or next week if you're in Houston or Scottsdale!)
