Tail Gait“Tail Gait” is the latest in a long series of books by Rita Mae Brown (and apparently, Sneaky Pie Brown, too.) It is, however, the first book I have read by Ms. Brown.

Interestingly enough, I had no problem picking up the story, the characters, or the plot. As a stand-alone book, it is very readable. I’m sure that I am missing much in the terms of history of the characters but enough is provided by the author to make it still an enjoyable read.
