The hunt ball / Rita Mae Brown. by Brown, Rita Mae. Center Point, c2005. Call #: LP FICTION BRO Subjects School administrators -- Crimes against -- Fiction.   Women detectives -- Virginia -- Fiction.   Women hunters -- Fiction.   Fox hunting -- Fiction.   Older women -- Fiction.   Virginia -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781585476664 1585476668 Edition:  Center Point large print ed. Description:  320 p. (large print) ; 23 cm. Summary:  "The trouble begins at Custis Hall, an exclusive girls’ school in Virginia that has gloried in its good name for nearly two hundred years. At first, the outcry is a mere tempest in a silver teapot–a small group of students protesting the school’s exhibit of antique household objects crafted by slaves–and headmistress Charlotte Norton quells the ruckus easily. But when one of the two hanging corpses ornamenting the students’ Halloween dance turns out to be real–the body of the school’s talented fund-raiser, in fact–Charlotte and the entire community are stunned. Everyone liked Al Perez, or so it seemed, yet his murder was particularly unpleasant. Even “Sister” Jane Arnold, master of the Jefferson Hunt Club, beloved by man and beast, is at a loss, although she knows better than anyone where the bodies are buried in this community of land-grant families and new-money settlers. Aided and abetted by foxes and owls, cats and hounds, Sister picks up a scent that leads her in a most unwelcome direction: straight to the heart of the foxhunting crowd. The chase is on, not only for foxes but also for a deadly human predator. No one has created a fictional paradise more delightful than the rolling hills of Rita Mae Brown’s Virginia countryside, or has more charmingly captured the rituals of the hunt. No one understands human and animal nature more deeply. The Hunt Ball combines a rounded, welcoming world with an edge of unforgettable white-knuckled menace."--Publisher. Genre:  Mystery fiction.
