3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Perfect for fans of Amanda Flower and Mollie Cox Bryan, Amber Camps debut novel will have you galloping through the pages, as a horse rescue owner races to find a killer and clear her name. Mallory Martin left her marriage and her unfulfilling job to move back to her hometown of Hillspring, Arkansas, and start a horse rescue. Its everything shes been missing, with paddocks of happy horses and one very quirky donkey. But when her cantankerous neighbor and longtime critic, Albert Cunningham, is found murdered in his fancy show barn, Mallory becomes suspect number one. Since Sheriff Grady Sullivan is ignoring all good sense and focusing only on Mallory, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Aided by her best friend, Lanie, and rescue volunteer Tanner, Mallory races headlong into the investigation in search of the real killer. But horses and murder arent the only thing on her mind when she meets Alberts handsome son, Braydon. Sparks fly, and soon shes got a new boyfriend. But theres a case to be solved, and she redoubles her efforts to learn the truth. The suspects mount quickly. Theres Alberts girlfriend, Kathleen, who was on the farm when he was murdered; organic farmer Heather Rogers, who accused Albert of contaminating her creek; and Philip Atwood, whod been trying for a right-of-way across Alberts farm. None of the evidence is holding up though, and Mallory learns that she'll need to take the reins on this investigation if she's going to clear her own name.

Canter with a Killer was a strong debut and a very enjoyable read. A fine mystery with a brisk pace and a smashing ending that was very entertaining.

All Mallory wants is to find happiness after her divorce. She returns to her childhood home in rural Arkansas to set up a horse rescue. But when her rich and troublesome neighbor is murdered her life is thrown into chaos.

A unique setting and a well-plotted mystery with enough suspects to keep me guessing, overall this was a good story with likable characters. I enjoyed it.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Cute book, but I couldn‘t quite connect with the protagonist; not sure why she was so antagonistic with the sheriff, and old friend. He never said she was a killer! She was also constantly making a choice and then changing her mind; her ex drove all the way there and she decides she was wrong and he should leave? Also, it was pretty easy to guess who the killer actually was. As for the other suspects, would be nice if there was a little follow-up.
