Dead Heat

Henry Christie #7

by Nick Oldham

Detective Inspector Henry Christie has been suspended from duty. He's spending quality time with his family, but at heart he's itching to get back into the fray. So when the attractive and wealthy mother of one of his daughter's horse-riding friends asks him to investigate the mutilation of some of the family's bloodstock, Christie agrees--against his better judgement.

This author is new to me
Pleasantly surprised!
I like Henry Christie
Brave and smart. He’s straight arrow..suspended as a detective at the moment for some silly legal reason. He takes the time off to get back into shape
When a wealthy lady asks him for help..she is the parent of a girl, Charlotte, who takes riding lessons with his daughter, Leanne.
Story full of bad guys..thankfully, they all die. He has to bend truth a little for how one of the bad guys died but it actually was justified

Another cracking read. Looking back I note than none of the Henry Christie series had taken me more than 48 hours to read. Just cannot put them down!!!!
