"I fell in love with the protagonist...and the rest of the colorful cast...Intriguing with lots of potential suspects and several non-obvious twists. I hope Abby Maguire will be back in another book..." Dean Hovey, award-winning author of the Doug Fletcher, Whistling Pines, and Pine County mysteries.
Suspenseful, deeply moving-a gripping murder mystery laced with hope, healing and laughter
She walked away from danger. Death followed her.
Therapist Abby Maguire is no stranger to violence. After years of counseling killers and
victims, she needs a break. Her new job doing Equine-assisted Therapy should have been a
stroll in the countryside-instead, she is surrounded by secrets, sabotage, and murder.
Abby struggles to escape her own past, while grappling with ghosts in the hearts of others.
Headstrong and relentless, Abby won't stop until she finds the truth-unless the killer finds
her first.
The serenity of the natural countryside captivates Abby Maguire-a life raft from a career
treating trauma that's left her with no shortage of trauma herself. But the beauty that soothes
and delights her soon proves to hide dangerous secrets. The aftereffects of Abby's career take a
continuing toll, and as she helps a new coworker navigate his own combat-related PTSD, the
destruction that unfolds around them exacerbates both. Seeking healing and finding violence,
she finds herself overwhelmed by an environment turned harsh and demanding. She doesn't
trust easily, but when the killer's sights land upon Abby herself, she doesn't know if she can
trust anyone at all.
