She is driving me nuts with the "renaming" of Long Island places, but I think I'll get over it Though the books in this series are decidedly better than my first impression (meaning halfway through the first book), they still lack that "umph" factor that draws me into the story and makes me forget all else. I don't believe the gift of dialogue is Baxter's forte, and therein lies one of my problems. I have to overcome the obstacle of "twitchy talking" its my own reference for conversations and inner dialogue that doesn't flow (seriously, coined it spur of the moment genius-like, and it totally fits, trust me or this run on sentence will keep running on). The characters are fine. A vet who loves her "menagerie" and she always refers to them as this when entering her home, being greeted by her "menagerie" and it's an insignificant quirk, but one I find annoying. Sometimes she could just say her animals, or her furry friends, something different. But I'm sliding down the slippery slope of random thoughts. Pulling myself up short, I will explain that each book involves a mystery where whats her butt (the main character, name alludes me right now) finds herself smack dab in the middle of. Its not just any mystery though. Its always murder. She employs the use of her occupation, traveling Vet, to help her solve the murder mysteries, cause that's plausible. The books are an okay escape from reality, and its nice to have a guaranteed read at night that isn't complete crap, so I wouldn't say the series is a waste of time. I love any book series featuring a veterinarian. All those cats and dogs running around are very endearing. And the mysteries aren't bad either. A nice element of romance between the vet and her law school attending boyfriend. They can never seem to actually get together for very long, which is a great element to keep us wanting to read more. All books in this series are very enjoyable. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

When it comes to sleuthing, she's not horsing around... When full-time vet and part-time sleuth Jessica Popper is asked to treat a billionaire's ailing horse, she gets a deadly glimpse into the lifestyles of the rich and felonious.... Murder gallops after Jessie when an emergency call sends the traveling vet to a posh Long Island estate with her one-eyed Dalmatian, Lou, and her tailless Westie, Max. A prized Arabian steed needs minor medical care-but it's the rider who grabs Jess's attention. The handsome young horseman exudes plenty of animal magnetism as he canters across the field...and then takes an inexplicable, fatal fall. The dead man was one of the finest polo players in the world, but it was no accident that killed him. The culprit was poison. And as Jess soon discovers, a number of people had the means, motive, and opportunity for foul play, from the hostile barn manager to the businessman's disgruntled wife. But Jess will have to temper her feline instinct with good old-fashioned horse sense if she's going to stop a killer from leading a certain sleuth to her death.
