Lynn Hightower's female characters take no prisoners. Sonora Blair, tough-but-vulnerable Cincinnati police detective, knows the father of 15-year-old Joellen Chauncey is involved somehow in his daughter's mysterious disappearance. But Sonora's boss, partner, and colleagues think she's crazy. Dixon Chauncey is a devoted single father of three, and a mild, self-effacing milquetoast who's much too "squishy" to be a suspect. Sonora doesn't buy the official line--that Joellen got caught between two feuding scam artists involved in a thoroughbred swindle--not even when the girl's body turns up, along with an empty, blood-spattered horse trailer. Sonora won't ignore what her gut tells her. And when Joellen's diaries open up a whole new line of investigation tied into a missing children's network, she renews her efforts to find the crack in Dixon's façade. The plot is full of seductive McGuffins: the owner of a riding school who lands in the hospital minus a finger; a mysterious and sexy stranger hanging around the barn. The narrative meanders a bit, taking in Sonora's failings as a single mother to her own kids, her impulsive decision to buy a horse, and her overactive libido (which fastens itself on three different men in a little over 300 pages). But the book is crisply written, with resonant characters and a suspenseful narrative. It's a special treat for horse fanciers. --Jane Adams --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From AudioFile
Cincinnati police detective and struggling single mom Sonora Blair is assigned the case of a teenaged girl gone missing while riding a horse at a stable near her home. The discovery of the girl's body wrapped in a horse blanket turns into a baffling case of murder. Reader Anna Fields portrays the frazzled, but brilliantly intuitive, detective perfectly. We experience her weariness, exasperation, excitement, and sense of humor. Male voices prove to be a challenge for Fields, and all those Midwestern cops sound alike. One well-conceived male character is the German-accented finger-ripper. Hearing Anna Fields read this well-paced mystery is a satisfying experience for the mystery lover.
