Dark Horse, by J Carson Black, is an excellent mystery set in the world of quarterhorse racing.  While my life has been in flat racing, it was interesting to see both the similarities and the differences in the two different types of horseracing.  I loved that she captures how much we in racing love our horses.  They are not a commodity to us, they are precious living, loving beings and it is a joy being around them.  I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and the characters, but for me the most important is her ability to share the essence of racing.
