From Publishers Weekly
Fans of Dick Francis and aficionados of the racetrack will enjoy this perky mystery, Breen's third featuring Jerry Brogan ( Listen for the Click ). Brogan, track announcer at the Surfside Meadows training center, plays amateur sleuth when unpopular racing writer Woody Creston is found smothered with a souvenir horse blanket. Creston was a drug pusher and blackmailer who kept files of juicy information on potential victims--Brogan included. (One jockey who fed gossip to Creston rode a horse named Loose Lips.) Following a hunch that might link another jockey, Vance, to the killer, Brogan finds Vance's stabbed body in an alley. Sportscaster Rog Korpelsen invites the suspects to a special edition of his show Sports Squawk , on the pretext of talking horses with them, but poses tricky questions on the air in order to divert attention from the real slayer--stealthily hunted meanwhile by Brogan. Colorful characters--owners, jockeys, trainers, and journalists--populate an entertaining story.

From Library Journal
Series protagonist Jerry Brogan, horse-race announcer at Surfside and tournament handicapper at Santa Anita, finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation because of his racing expertise. Called for advice by the LAPD when someone kills sleazy journalist/blackmailer Woody Creston, Jerry questions all the possible suspects to narrow the search. Racehorse fans may appreciate the track talk here, but the dialog stumbles over trite and forced remarks, and the plot suffers from lack of substance. For series followers only.
