"A SMART, WITTY MYSTERY. . . The suspense mounts, and the solution surprises.--The Cleveland Plain Dealer
When a quarter-million-dollar show horse and a top trainer are found brutally murdered side by side, Natalie Gold, a reporter for the Charlotte Commercial Appeal, seizes the chance to get off the fashion beat she so detests: she knows the rich, competitive, and devious world of the show horse circuit. Teamed with handsome investigative reporter, Henry Goode, Nattie makes the rounds of the Carolina show horse circuit, pumping society matrons for scandals and tracking down trainers. But as she closes in on the truth, Nattie becomes the target for a series of increasingly savage death threats, not only to herself, but to her beloved horse, Brenda Starr. . . .
"DELIGHTFUL. . . . I hope Natalie Gold doesn't wait too long before jumping back into the suspense-story saddle again."
--Washington Post Book World
"YOU'LL WANT TO GO ALONG FOR THE RIDE IN HORSE OF A DIFFERENT KILLER.--The Virginia Pilot & Ledger
"SHADES OF ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S SILVER BLAZE! . . . Bright, lively, self-consciously a Philadelphia yenta, [Nattie is] a most appealing guide."
--Kirkus Reviews
