Tail of the Tip-Off is a cozy mystery novel set in the small Virginia town of Crozet, where the main characters are a mix of human and animal residents. The protagonist, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, is a former postmistress who finds herself entangled in yet another murder investigation. Alongside her feline companions, Sneaky Pie and Pewter, and her corgi, Tee Tucker, Harry must uncover the identity of a murderer in the quiet town. When a local man, a sleazy art dealer, is found dead, Harry becomes the unwitting detective, as her animal companions, with their sharp senses and instinctual knowledge, help piece together the clues that humans often miss. As Harry delves deeper into the case, she discovers the interconnected lives and secrets of Crozet’s residents, leading to surprising revelations about the victim and those around him.

The novel masterfully combines a lighthearted, humorous tone with the tension of a traditional whodunit, all while exploring the unique relationship between Harry and her animal friends. Rita Mae Brown weaves a story full of quirky characters and small-town charm, where the animals aren’t just sidekicks—they are integral to solving the mystery. As Harry’s investigation unfolds, she must navigate her personal relationships, including her complicated feelings toward a local veterinarian, while dealing with the intricacies of life in a tight-knit community. Ultimately, Tail of the Tip-Off is not just a murder mystery but a celebration of friendship, loyalty, and the bonds between humans and animals.
