Publisher's summary

Mallory Martin left her marriage and her unfulfilling job to move back to her hometown of Hillspring, Arkansas, and start a horse rescue. It’s everything she’s 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 aren’t the only things on her mind when she meets Albert’s handsome son, Braydon. Sparks fly, and soon she’s got a new boyfriend. But there’s a case to be solved, and she redoubles her efforts to learn the truth.

The suspects mount quickly. There’s Albert’s 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, who’d been trying for a right-of-way across Albert’s 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.

Okay

Canter with a Killer is just okay. I figured out the killer midway through the book. The pace is slow and I skipped ahead a couple of times. I might get the next book but I'm not looking forward to it.

Great Cozy Mystery

This is a great start to a series. I loved the concept of this book, Mallory is a very likeable character. The donkey is adorable I want one. The world building is incredible. I can't wait until the next one I highly recommend the narrator was brilliant.

great cozy muder mystery

Absolutely loved this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful cozy mystery!

Loved this world and the characters (including the animal ones!) Great read for cozy mystery lovers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Worth the listen!

I don’t read many cozy mysteries, but this one was definitely worth the read. I couldn’t put it down. The storyline was compelling, and the characters were so interesting! I loved the main character, so much. She was so relatable.

I would like to say that, because I’m not usually reading cozy mysteries, I don’t know what to expect with covers. The cover was not what brought me to this book. In fact, the cover gave me an idea of the book that was quite different than reality. And I liked the reality much better!

This book came to my reading cue because I know the author from an online writers group. It ALSO came recommended to me from other readers I trust.

I’m so glad I finally took time to read it…listen actually. I listened to the audiobook, which was well done. The narrator felt perfect for this character.

I can’t wait to see what this author comes out with next!

I listened to the audio at 1.7x speed, which is my normal on audible.

Thank you for this lovely story, Amber Camp!

Fun ride

Enjoyed this mystery and loved the horse rescue and loved the DONKEY. Can't wait for next book in series.
