For fans of Jeri Howard and Horse Racing

As a favor to her friend David Vanitzky, Jeri investigates threats made against racehorse owner and trainer Molly Torrance. Unfortunately, Jeri's primary suspect is soon murdered and she is left with more questions about Molly's relationships and past. The action moves along quickly and Dawson provides a fascinating study of the world of horseracing. One of my concerns about this novel is that too little time is spent on Jeri's personal life, especially in comparison to her eight previous mysteries. Also, many of the plot twists are predictable and the confession virtually falls into her lap. Overall though, this is a fast, enjoyable read, while not one of Dawson's best.
