This is a great story in this series. I love the mystery angle and I love her talking about the country side and how she is feeling at this juncture of her life with the changes she needs to decide to make. Her knowledge of horses and the country where she lives is wonderful. I love the decisions she makes and I do hope this is not the last in the series. She does such a great job. Early in the story there is a character who uses some foul language, but it is short lived and takes nothing from the story. Who ever reads this series and you really should start from the beginning to get the true flavor of this series, please enjoy as much as I do. The series ages with the author and that makes it very personal to those who read it. Great, grand series, loved it from the very beginning and have never been sorry I read it, from 1 to 12.
