A California Mystery

****The following is from the back of the book. I DID NOT write it.**** Doubling for a TV star means danger for Lucy! On vacation in Beverly Hills to visit her TV-producer father, Lucy's thrilled to act as a stunt rider in his series, Malibu. She'll double for twenty-year-old Darci Rutland and play scenes with her handsome co-star, Mark. Meanwhile, someone's pulling some dangerous stunts on the Malibu set - the whole cast is in danger. As Darci's double, Lucy could be the next victim. Lucy decides to find the culprit and prove herself as a rider, an actress, and a detective! *********** My review: It seems like a lot of authors try to make their books exciting and take their characters to Southern California without actually doing their background research into the area. This author was different. The settings really make this book come alive because they are real places. The character that Claire Birch creates in Lucy Hill is a smart, sweet, and fun-loving horsewoman with a passion for helping other people to solve mysteries. Overall the books are very realistic with a mature perspective on people and the horse world. I thought that this book was a nice addition to the series in its interesting storyline but only gave it a "four stars" rating because I found some of the plot lines to be a little too complicated to follow.
