Death Reins In (Horse Lover's Mysteries, No. 2)
Date undefinedThis is a good murder Mystery. It is in a three book series. You Will need to Read Saddled With Trouble first, then Death Reins In second, then Tacked to Death. The three books kept me wanting more.
Death Reins In (Horse Lover's Mysteries, No. 2)
Date undefinedMichaela loves horses; her career is in horses. This wonderful horse mystery is set in Southern California, in a horse setting. The beautiful horses, pastures, landscapes, sunsets, waterfalls . . . The descriptive detail is just enough to make you "see" and "feel" the beauty, but not so much that it is too much. The characters and settings are so well developed that you feel you are really there, and it is so easy to just get into this book and not want to leave.
This is a mystery, so there is murder and foul play. I will not say who or why, as to not ruin the book for those who have not read it yet. But I will say that Michaela is determined to solve the mystery. All the pieces are interesting as she finds them, and they all fall together.
This book was very interesting and entertaining, and very well written. Even if a person is not interested in horses, they could still enjoy this book, because there is not too much horse detail and attention (just the right amount for those who do love horses); just the plot and adventures make the book a winner.
I do love horses (but, of course, could never afford one), so getting into a "horse atmosphere" in this book is the next best thing.
Death Reins In (Horse Lover's Mysteries, No. 2)
Date undefinedThe only mystery here is why characters in the book don't figure out the problem until the end when it was so very obvious from the beginning. The writer doesn't seem to know much about horse racing, which made me cringe repeatedly while reading this book. It begins with a worthless prologue and ends with the moronic main character revealing the badguys at a party, after which the book goes on and on and on because the writer doesn't seem to know how to come to an end. Good news for would-be novelists, however: if this book could be published, so could anything you write, even if it's as bad as this one!
