Summary: Loved the Foxhunting
Comment: I really enjoyed her previous equine book, "Riding Shotgun", and was thrilled to see this sitting in the new section of the library. It's such a pleasure to read a book relating to horses by someone who clearly knows what she's talking about. BTW, the book doesn't mention that Ms Brown is a MFH herself, so she knows what she's talking about. Unlike some of the other readers, I enjoyed the animals comments. I suspect they're like that in real life - just enough to let you know you're reading fiction. I agree that the mystery aspect was weaker than the rest of the story, but the book was so enjoyable that I really didn't care. It's tough to find intelligent well written equine books. Ms Brown, would you PLEASE write more of these?

Summary: Loved it! Best book about the foxhunting milieu around
Comment: I'm from Western Pennsylvania, home of the Rolling Rock Hunt Club, which I was around although not a member. I had a 16'2" thoroughbred hunter, whipped-in with the Beagling pack on exercise runs a few times (beagles are to rabbits as hounds are to foxes)and the vivid descriptions brought back memories of the beautiful countryside & that whole hunt club milieu.
I *loved* this book & its characters. The mystery was incidental, in fact, I'd have preferred straight fiction, forget the murder. I want more about the characters and their continuing lives! Though, mysteries sell better and the murder slowly emerged after lots of character development, a huge plus.
I was loaned this book by my friend the librarian who enjoyed it but clearly not as much as I did (I could hardly sleep after the description of the opening hunt, it was so exciting). We agree that it's one of those books where equine-aphiles (is that a word?) will be in love with the book and the rest of the world will like it a little less. I just hope that there are enough of us, or that Ms. Brown has enough of a compelling itch to write about hunts, that the series continues. (Let's face it, it's a pretty small world compared to the world of cat and dog lovers that she taps into with the Sneaky Pie books.) Sign me up as one of those devoted-to-the-series readers. Please continue with this as a series!

Summary: Outfoxed - a refreshing change of pace
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed the book - I couldn't wait to find time to read. Outfoxed is light yet intelligent with a fascinating glimpse at the communication between animals and their role in solving the crime. As an animal lover and avid reader, I highly recommend this book. As a recent mystery convert, I am hooked and cannot wait to read the second book in the series (Hotspur).
Enjoy!
