Product Description
A new tack shop and a gala polo match are reasons to celebrate for horse trainer Michaela Bancroft—until equestrian Sterling Tabor is found clubbed to death with a polo mallet. Worse yet, suspicion falls on Michaela...

The weapon belongs to Michaela, her prints are all over it, and rumors of her alleged affair with the victim aren’t helping. With her boyfriend Detective Jude Davis out of town, Michaela doesn’t stand a chance of proving her innocence and clearing her name unless she delves into Tabor’s mysterious life—and death—on her own. But in unearthing a real suspect and a motive, she discovers a deadly past. And Tabor’s shady friends are more than willing to throw Michaela off the track—for good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Animal lovers read on..., June 30, 2008

By	Elizabeth Slater (Jacksonville Beach, FL) - See all my reviews

Michaela (Mick) Bancroft's big charity event is causing more headaches than she expected - and not from the polo mallets that she's been dodging on the field. While polo is a new (and difficult) sport for her, not to mention painful, most of her aggravation is coming from setting up for the fashion show that follows! The caterers are complaining and threatening not to follow the menu the rich donors are expecting, and the make-up artist is five seconds from walking out the door after an incident with local playboy Sterling Taber - the man who also happens to be voted Most Eligible Bachelor for the fashion show. After putting out the flames, Mick's ready to toss her polo mallet at the next person who looks at her cross-eyed - until someone does it for her...

All Mick wants is to run her farm, take care of her horses, and teach her kids - the autistic and special needs children who come to her for lessons. She's somewhat serious about her detective boyfriend Jude Davis, but still isn't sure about that final step. When, during the fashion show, Michaela stumbles over the body of her less than favorite person Sterling, she becomes suspect number one in his murder. With Jude on a cruise with his daughter, Mick decides that she must prove her own innocence since the police do not seem inclined to look beyond proof of the murder weapon - Michaela's own polo mallet.

Having been so generous with her own time and friendship in the past, Mick's friends are more than willing to help her with her own problems, despite the questionable legalities of some of techniques. And while these antics seem to take their toll on Mick's relationship with Jude, they seem to be working on bringing the truth to bear - but will Mick be alive to see justice served?

This is a great cozy in the horse-lovers series - a definite animal-lover's series. Michaela has a lot of common sense despite managing to talk herself out of it quite often, and a large heart. I regret having missed the second book in the series but hope to remedy that shortly, however; the book can stand by itself with the information included. Cozy readers will love to curl up with this one, but I personally think Mick needs more time with her horses!

5.0 out of 5 stars A taste of mondy & murder, February 25, 2008

By	S. Vosseller "Amateur Editor" (Corpus Christi, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This third book in the Horse Lovers Mysteries takes the reader into the polo ring where money, greed and treachery lead to murder and our heroine, Michaela Bancroft is right in the thick of it. The murder weapon points to her and she is in big trouble. I had a great time reading it and would recommend it to mystery lovers who also like a bit of spicy romance with their mayhem. It would make great gifts for your friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL BOOK, June 17, 2009

By	minschacor (California USA) - See all my reviews

I could NOT put this book down - or her other 2 horse mysteries. Nothing fancy - just great reading from start to finish.

If I had MY way she would write and publish more in this series. One of the best I have ever read - on par with the Joe Grey Mysteries.
