The Cranshire Mysteries #1
Murder at Maretail Manor
Small town journalist Holly has loved horses since she was a little girl, but it is only now in her mid-40s that she finally has a horse of her own, Linnet. But when the matriarch of a prestigious equestrian family is found dead, Holly finds herself drawn into the role of amateur sleuth...
Tatty Bilsbury needed no introduction in the equestrian world. Renowned horse trainer, British Olympic showjumping medallist and matriarch of the Bilsbury family, which produced a further dozen talented riders.
At the dress rehearsal party for her wedding to what would be her fourth husband, Tatty is found dead in the hay barn of her stables.
When the police fail to see anything suspicious in her death, Holly finds the bit between her teeth as she takes the mystery on for herself.
Fans of Midsomer Murders, Rivals, and The Solent Island Mysteries will love this page-turning first book in a new series from best-selling author A. S. McClatchie.

Horse heaven!
I loved the horses! Horse people are a breed of their own and the author was great at getting that into her characters.
Only negative was the proof reading; sent in several corrections. The auto corrects just can't replace a real proof reader!
