Saddled with a Murder

When Ruth finds herself saddled with writing a feature on Myrtle Bay’s annual horse carnival, she knows she is out of her depth. Horse racing is just not her thing.

A fatal accident during a maiden race on the first day catapults Ruth headlong into a confusing inquiry. Her sidekick Doris insists the horse was nobbled and the race was fixed - and that they're dealing with a murder.

Ruth isn’t so sure. Race fixing is one thing, murdering a jockey another. While Doris goes off investigating her own hunches, Ruth joins forces with her partner Ciaran in an investigation that takes her behind the scenes of the horse racing world.

Will Ruth and Ciaran solve the case? Or is Doris on the right track?

A mystery fraught with tension, a murder to solve, and a friendship in crisis, SADDLED WITH MURDER is another unputdownable novel in the Ruth Finlay Mysteries series by Isobel Blackthorn.
