A Horse To Die For [MultiFormat]
by Carolyn Banks
|
|
Who's beating a dead horse? Certainly not die-hard horse aficionado Robin Vaughan. She would never lay a hand on any four-legged creature, least of all the magnificent horse her friend Lola had just received as a Christmas gift. But Robin suspects that beautiful Noel isn't quite the horse he seems. For one thing, he killed his last owner.

Nobody much cares for Nika Ballinger, but that doesn't mean her violent death shouldn't be looked into. Fellow horsewoman Robin Vaughan doesn't like the way the police investigation is going.

But nosy newcomer Robin Vaughan, hunting for a place to board her two cherished horses, sniffs trouble in this tumbleweed paradise.

by Carolyn Banks

Texas horsewoman Robin Vaughan is surprised to find herself flat on the sidewalk the first time she leaves her hotel. More surprising is the young woman who picks her up. In her black fishnet stockings, Flora looks more like a hooker than someone who gets up at five A.M. to feed the horses at an uptown riding stable. She may in fact be a hooker, for when Jeet, Robin's nervous husband, calls Claremont Riding Academy to confirm her identity, nobody there has heard of her. But is the staff at Clare... more info>> (Published: 2005)
