"After witnessing last year's fifty-metre-high rolling fireballs, she'd wondered if the treetops were truly Satan's home. And God resided in the water. Everything about that fire had smacked of hell." -Dark HorseThis is my second Honey Brown book. And while I enjoyedAfter the Darkness, this has to be my favourite read of the year so far. I literally couldn't put it down.Dark Horsedelivers on all fronts. There is not a moment when something isn't happening. Brown somehow manages to imbue every setting and every exchange with suspense, which is all the more surprising given the small cast of characters - one woman, one man, a horse and the weather. Simply masterful.I also love it when a twist catches you by surprise - especially when all the clues are there.Days after I finished readingDark Horse, I found myself still thinking about the story. It is a rare book that stays with me like that.A must-read.
