DARK CAN BE DEADLY…Private Detective Nicole Moore leaves Arizona to investigate a unique case in Bidwell, California, Luke Hudson’s former town. A jockey is killed, and the police believe the dark horse did it. Moore is hired to prove he didn’t. Ride along for one of the most unusual cases you’ll ever encounter.
Moore returns to Ponderosa, and Sheriff Hudson rehires her as a deputy. Soon they discover a family’s dark side when they explore what appears to be a slam-dunk suicide. Only this case has more twists and turns than the Arizona mountain road to Jerome.
I liked the fact that Nicole is the protagonist, but horses often made me disconnect. And I didn’t find the Garner case that interesting… Despite all this, I liked the book and it entertained me.
