This is the first book I've read by Laura Crum; I was attracted due to the "horsey" subject, the veterinarian protagonist and the mystery genre. While I am going to look for the previous books in the series, I'm not going to hang on to this one. Gail McCarthy, the veterinarian, has just had a baby and the entire book is chock filled with ecstatic musings on the joys of stay at home motherhood vs how much she used to like being a career person, with thoughts on how other mothers should certainly be staying at home watching their cherished infants too. Oh yes, the mystery. A nasty horse trainer dies in a not-so-accidental fall while Gail is watching. Crum writes very well; I liked the mystery - I think I'll like the previous books in the series - but this particular entry isn't for me.
