Winner of the 2020 AudiobookReviewer Best Mystery Award and Finalist for the 2020 Indies Today Award, Catch Handle is an enticing cozy mystery.
Arabian horses are admired for their strength, grace, and athleticism. They are beautiful, intelligent, and remarkable animals. As a newly minted veterinarian, Vivian Anderson knows and loves horses better than most. With an important horse show on the line and the search for a full-time vet job fast approaching, Vivian is fully occupied at her aunt’s Arabian horse ranch and her equine medical externship.
Vivian’s world is abruptly shaken by a shocking murder that casts suspicion on the people she thought she knew best. Stolen medications, fatal “accidents”, unsavory horse handling, and a handsome newcomer have Vivian reeling. She cannot shake the feeling that the seemingly random events are all part of the same puzzle, but who can she trust?
Vivian is about to learn just how dangerous her world of horses can be.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Cemented by strong characters, a sense of place and community, and a love of animals and mystery alike, Catch Handle is a cozy mystery highly recommended for readers who like their mysteries surprising, their protagonist all too human and vulnerable, and their stories multifaceted and engaging." (D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review)
"There is no doubt that Alison O’Mara is a rising star in the fiction world. Unexpectedly informative, unusually well-balanced, and entirely un-put-down-able, Catch Handle is the perfect light mystery for a cozy afternoon!" (Jennifer Jackson, Indies Today)
"I give this novel 5 stars! This cozy is excellently edited and checks off all my boxes for a good read.... I recommend this book especially to animal lovers and folks familiar in any way with the horse community." (The Cozy Devotee)

As for the story itself, I was a little disappointed in the pacing. In a lot of murder mysteries, the murder happens first and then we meet the characters through suspect interviews. This was a little different in that we meet the ensemble first, and it's so large that it takes a while to get to the murder. I was a little bored about that and wondered if the summary was misleading.
I promise you, reader, that a murder does happen. Two, in fact! Other reviewers mentioned how it was the last person you'd think to do the crime, and I don't know if I'd agree with that. But, like any good mystery, several people do look guilty, so there are some good red herrings in there.
As I write this review, it's been a few days since I finished the story, and the narrator's performance isn't that memorable. That's not the same as saying it was bad, because I don't think it was. I remember bad performances that annoy me. This performance did what it was supposed to do and served the story without drawing attention to itself.
So while not exactly the dark story I was expecting (this borders more on cozy territory), this works and has insight into a world that hasn't been overdone yet. A good solid read. Recommended.

The author, O’Mara has captured the essence of a veterinarian and the equine world. Carefully weaving the two with a mystery that has a shocking end was very engaging and suspenseful. O’Mara combined her passion for horses and mysteries into an intriguing book that has room to grow into a series. The dialog was well done, and it helped move the story forward.
O’Mara’s writing style pulls people into the story effortlessly. Her polished writing is complete with richly vivid imagery. Her knowledge of the horse world is clear.
The narrator, Stephanie Richardson, performed the audiobook perfectly. The words rolled off her tongue in a soothing manner. She injected the correct amount of emotion when needed. Her rhythm was smooth and refreshing.
If you enjoy cozy mysteries, this is an excellent one! I look forward to the next book by Alison O’Mara and the next performance by Stephanie Richardson.

Author Alison O'Mara has a nice writing style. Her characters have distinct personalities and seem like real people. Some are quite admirable. Others are likeable despite their flaws. A couple of the characters will remind the listener of someone whom they dislike. Narrator Stephanie Richardson gives a good performance and has a lovely voice.
A Really Good Equine Story!
