In Roadside Attraction the reader meets Maggie O'Neil, a probation officer from Arizona who is pushed into being a detective against her will. When she finds one of her parolees dead in a tree the family of that parolee wants answers and believes only Maggie can help them.Her father has a different idea though, he wants he to become a horse trainer for his two newly purchased race horses. This allows Maggie to learn about real racing and match races using other people's horses, which leads to how parolee and his family are involved and may just have contributed to his death.When Maggie's father falls for a rich widow who also owns horses life should be great for both Maggie and her dad, but does that actually happen? I leave it to you the reader to find out.The story reads well, I actually read it on one sitting. The plot continues to hold your interest and even throws in some twists and turns. There are many subplots that make the story fresh. I also liked the fact it was written with Arizona and horse racing in mind. I read on a tablet so I was flicking pages as fast as I could.This is labeled as Book #1 in the Maggie O'Neil mystery series and I for one am anxiously awaiting Book #2.
