From Booklist:
It’s 1931 in Los Angeles, and preparations are being made for next year’s Olympics. It’s the height of the Depression, and when debutante Kitty Pangborn’s father, a single parent, committed suicide on the day the stock market crashed, her days as a pampered rich girl ended. Now she works as a secretary at a detective agency. When her boss, Dex Theroux, gets drunk instead of meeting a new client, Kitty takes the case herself. The very wealthy Matty Sweet is concerned because his girlfriend, Flora Woodruff, a skilled equestrian, has been getting threatening notes. Someone is trying to scare her and prevent her from becoming the first horsewoman to qualify for the Olympics. Soon, Kitty is back in the familiar land of the rich and powerful, but this time as hired help. After Flora’s fine Hanoverian horse, Fritzy, disappears, Kitty poses as Flora’s friend, putting herself directly in harm’s way. Richards has created a memorable character in Kitty Pangborn, and libraries should stock the entire nifty series (Death Was the Other Woman, 2008, and Death Was in the Picture, 2009). --Shelley Mosley
