3.0

Set in the horse show world, this novel about mean girls, secrets, romance, and murder the common thread is drama. The Parkers are moving from Texas to California. Heather, mother to two daughters, is desperate for her daughters to ride horses. Soon the family is enmeshed in that world. 

Eliza Jane Brazier organizes the book well telling the story from multiple points of view, including the detective’s. The individual chapters and perspectives lead up to revealing the victim and the murderer. 

I read to find out who made it out alive and how the issues were resolved. This was fine. Probably just not the book for me.
