Reining in Murder

When horse trainer Annie Carson rescues a beautiful thoroughbred from a roadside rollover, she knows the horse is lucky to be alive…unlike the driver. After rehabilitating the injured animal at her Carson Stables ranch, Annie delivers the horse to Hilda Colbert--the thoroughbred‘s neurotic and controlling owner--only to find she‘s been permanently put out to pasture. Two deaths in three days is unheard of in the small Olympic Peninsula county, and Annie decides to start sniffing around. She‘s confident she can track down a killer…but she may not know how ruthless this killer really is… Praise for Leigh Hearon: "Here‘s a new heroine after my own heart.
