Goodreads Nell Ward Mystery Series by Sarah Yarwood-Lovett - Goodreads
Bruneau, Amelia (2010). "Preparation of Rat Tail Tendons for Biomechanical and Mechanobiological Studies". Journal of Visualized Experiments. 41 (41): 2176. doi: 10.3791/2176. PMC 3156064. PMID 20729800.In her novels, Sarah’s fascinating ecological slant and wonderful plotting have become very popular with readers. The phenomenal success just shows that the author has found the missing piece that cozy mystery readers have been looking for. While I have to admit that motor racing leaves me cold, I found that that element of the narrative was well integrated into the character-based story and I remained interested throughout. I had the sense that A Mischief of Rats featured more ecological content than its series predecessor, and less of the aristocratic hi-jinks which I found quite irritating in the last book. This is proving to be an engrossing series, and I'm looking forward to reading book #4, A Generation of Vipers, scheduled for publication on 15 August 2023.

A Mischief of Rats” by Sarah Yarwood-Lovett sees a driver dying while participating in a classic car event. Dr. Nell Ward finds herself in a race against time trying to unearth the truth and ensure the killer will not get away with his actions. To die like a man of honour, Sir Hargrave, you must have lived like one. You should be sure of your cause. But these pistols are too ready a mischief. Were I to meet you in your own way, Sir Hargrave, I should not expect, that a man so enraged would fire his over my head, as I should be willing to do mine over his. Life I would not put upon the perhaps involuntary twitch of a finger. Domestic rats differ from wild rats in many ways. They are calmer and less likely to bite; they can tolerate greater crowding; they breed earlier and produce more offspring; and their brains, livers, kidneys, adrenal glands, and hearts are smaller (Barnett 2002). Rats are often used in scientific experiments; animal rights activists allege the treatment of rats in this context is cruel. The term "lab rat" is used, typically in a self-effacing manner, to describe a person whose job function requires them to spend a majority of their work time engaged in bench-level research (such as postgraduate students in the sciences). A Murder of Crows” by Sarah Yarwood-Lovett is the story of Nell Ward who is working on an ecological survey in south East England on the grounds of Manor House Farm.Rats become sexually mature at age 6 weeks, but reach social maturity at about 5 to 6 months of age. The average lifespan of rats varies by species, but many only live about a year due to predation. [9]

Think you’ve seen a really large rat? Probably not if you compare it with the Bosavi woolly rat, a species discovered in 2009. Believed to be the biggest rat, it is more than 32 inches (81 cm) long (including the tail) and weighs more than three pounds (1.36 kg). By comparison, the common house rat is about 20 inches (50 cm) long and weighs approximately 12 ounces (0.34 kg). Unfortunately, scientific studies have determined that common rats are getting larger. On the positive side, researchers think that common rats’ physiology prevents them from becoming gigantic rats. In New York City, for example, researchers determined that rats would likely never exceed 2 pounds (1 kg). Although that is a misquote from the gangster film Taxi! (1931), rats have come to mean traitors or snitches. Why? Partly it’s due to their bad reputation as filthy and deadly creatures (see below) and also because rats will flee sinking ships and collapsing houses, giving the impression of abandonment. We see a Nell run off her feet, and trying to find small moments to enjoy the event as well as make a good impression. I like how ecological clues are important for solving the case, which also includes possible fraud, including murder. Author Yarwood-Lovett switches between Nell and James again in this book, giving us a good picture of everything going on, and what the stakes are for Nell.

Something shifted in me that night. A small voice in my head said, maybe you can make a way for yourself as a poet here, too.’ Nell does tend to spread herself too thin and then bemoans the fact that she is so busy and so tired.
