From page one, Death by a Dark Horse had me in its mysterious clutches. Schreyer does a fantastic job of weaving the mystery throughout this debut novel, and her characters practically leap off the page. The main character, Thea is a woman after my own heart- hoping for a drama-free existence, yet finding herself in the middle of death and intrigue, facing the unknown with wit and courage. You can certainly tell Schreyer has a deep love of horses and her equine character, Blackie, immediately took up residence on my list of favorite characters. And, being severely challenged in the knowledge-about-dressage department, I enjoyed learning about aspects of this type of competitive horse training. All in all, a great read- I can't wait for Susan Schreyer's next book!
