CoverThe horse on the cover, as I found out while reading, is a racing horse named Credo's Hope.  The lady with the gun on the front is Detective Alex Wolfe.  So, the cover is an apt depiction of a couple of main character(s) that is in the story.Plot/CharactersAlex is an arse-kicking, quick-tempered detective who has a knack for getting into trouble without even trying.  Her mother is constantly trying to get her invited to get-togethers where Alex could possibly meet "Mr. Right."Casey is Alex's work partner.  She thinks before speaking and tries her best to get Alex to do the same thing.Kate is Alex and Casey's boss and finds Alex's antics somewhat humorous, but extremely tiresome.  She is a hard boss, but fair.Megan has been Alex's best friend since pre-K and teaches dog training classes.  She helps Alex and Casey on a side investigation that Alex is working on in her spare time.OverallThe story is very engaging and will keep you reading wanting to know more.  There seem to be two main plots with a few sub-plots, but it is all kept well organized and does not get confusing at all.  As a matter of fact, it is part of what keeps you engaged and continuing to read.I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a good mystery with a strong female lead who can kick arse with the best of them.  =)
