Lanie Montgomery gave up a high-powered big city career to return to horse country, Southern Pines, NC. She finds peace, quiet, horses, dogs, friends, a sexy but untrustworthy large animal vet—and murder. In Southern Pines, where everyone knows everyone, no one is beyond suspicion. Or does the truth lie in the deep secrets of a prominent family?
Deaths began to pile up. Can they be related? What are the common threads?
As Lanie involves herself in the investigation, she meets an SBI agent who warns her off, an elderly woman who may have knowledge of the secrets someone will kill to keep, and a beautiful but dangerous stallion. Soon she and her beloved dogs are in danger and Lanie has to take action.
Mystery readers will love this well-plotted and character-rich book.
