Review of Pegasus by Kim Miller
Pegasus:A Novel ,Written by Marilyn Holdsworth
Reviewed by Kim F. Miller, editor of California Riding Magazine
This story's subtext involves the grim business of slaughtering horses, but the author, a Southern California horsewoman, balances that with romance and heroism on behalf of horses.
Hannah Bradley is a successful journalist specializing in animal abuse issues. Widowed at an early age, she crosses paths with an older, well-to-do lawyer, Winston Caughfield III. He shares her passion for horses, but their budding romance is threatened by Hannah's determination to bust a ring of bad guys profiting from the sale of wild Mustangs and other horses for slaughter. "Win" is torn between his desire to help Hannah and his fears that she'll get hurt.
Hannah and Win bond over the rehabilitation of Pegasus, who escaped a slaughterhouse fate by running away from a trailer crash site. In the process of tracing down his true identity, they discover the underground horse meat racket and the nasty characters who run it. They've saved the horse, but put their own lives at risk. This is a fun, quick read.
