Veterinarian Ashley Hart moves to Aspen Falls, Colorado, and one of her first cases leads to a murder mystery at a horse stable. Veterinarian Dr. Ashley Hart relocates from Ohio to Aspen Falls, Colorado, with her Dalmatian, Max, and is quickly welcomed by well-wishers who reassure Ashley that Aspen Falls is a wonderful place to call home. One of Ashley’s first calls is to Canterbury Stables to treat an Andalusian foal exhibiting symptoms of poisoning. She makes an even more horrifying discovery the next day when she stumbles across horse trainer Bruce Peterson in the tack room with a fatal head wound. Who could have wished the amiable horseman dead? Unfortunately, there are motives aplenty, from unrequited love to corporate treachery, and as a newcomer to Aspen Falls, Ashley can’t be sure which locals she can trust. Will the plucky veterinarian unmask the menace in time, or will someone else in Aspen Falls be put out to pasture—permanently? This clever whodunit from Annie’s Mysteries of Aspen Falls series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, animals, and female friendships.
