Horsing Around with Murder (A Senior Sleuth Cozy Mystery – Book 1)
★★★★★ “This book is a delight. The suspense and laugh out loud moments keep the reader riveted to the page. The author masterfully blends humor and mystery to create an extremely fun read.”
★★★★★ “It was everything I’d hoped for: laugh-out-loud, hilarious scenes, wild and fun characters, and the twisty, turning plot of a great mystery, and best of all I didn’t guess “who done it.”
★★★★★ “I laughed so hard in a few places that I couldn’t read for the tears rolling down my face”
Hi, I’m Abby Foster, formerly a retired accountant, now co-owner, GM and CFO of Alberta’s Grizzly Gulch Guest Ranch. My two sisters and I inherited the place at an age when most sensible women contemplate retirement. No one ever called us sensible.
Facing financial ruin due to renovation cost overruns, we host a week-long horse breeding symposium to increase our popularity and attract more guests. Hours into the symposium, a cowboy’s sudden death appears accidental to everyone except me.
Smelling a murder, I convince my sisters and our hot barn manager to help me conduct a covert investigation without alerting the guests. Problem is, our quirky guests are the main suspects.
Chaos ensues when we tangle with one seriously amorous gelding (yes, it happens), a runaway stud, dwarf goats in the pool, a spitting llama, and an uncooperative stallion. A late-life romance ups the ante for me, while drugs and deceit increase the danger for all.
Warning: This book may contain nuggets of naughty boomer humor.
