Synopsis

"HAS AS MANY INS AND OUTS AS A CHAMPIONSHIP JUMPING COURSE. Take a deep seat and a firm rein and canter along."
--Washington Times                      

The official version says that former beauty queen Josane Ashmore died after being trampled by her unruly chestnut mare. Her mother declares it was murder. Yet when Charlotte reporters Natalie Gold and Henry Goode go to Virginia to prove it, they find more questions than answers. Who set Josane up in her charming Middleburg shop? Why were her personal belongings disposed of so quickly? And, perhaps most chilling, who keeps trying to kill Nattie and Henry?

"A tight, no-way-to-put-it-down whodunit that'll keep you guessing, gasping, and chuckling to the end."
--Lexington Herald-Leader

"[A] galloping plot."
--People
