Book Description

December 28, 1994
So Texas horsewoman Robin Vaughan isn't much 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 Claremont as sinister as Flora claims? Or is trustful Robin being set up for a deadly fall? There's only one way to make sure, Robin takes a ride on the wild side of the West Side that culminates in glory...but not before murder is done.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, this is just NOT a good book., November 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Groomed for Death (Mass Market Paperback)
It's written in a breezy, "I know you won't believe this, but..." manner that overlooks basic character motivations. It is filled with stereotypes. How does the heroine know, for example, that the t-shirt seller she gallops past in Central Park on a Park Ranger's horse is "a little Filipino man"? Sorry, but I cannot recommend a book where ALL African-American women wear door-knocker earrings. If you're looking for an adult book about horses, try BARBARA DIMMICK, or JODY JAFFE if you want a mystery. Props to Banks, though, for quoting "Heads Up, Heels Down". Now THERE'S a book I'd rather read.

This review is from: Groomed for Death (Paperback)
A knowledge of horses, combined with a sense of humor make this well paced mystery a delight as we follow the adventures of Robin Vaughan, a Texas horsewoman.
