Death By Theft: A Josiah Reynolds Mystery 19 af Abigail Keam

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

Josiah Reynolds is thrilled for her friends Lady Elsmere and Shaneika Mary Todd as their bringing their horse stock together, breeding them and having a feisty new foal delivered to them by dam Jean Harlow. The foal is broad-chested and holds everyone's hopes for a derby winner - maybe even a Kentucky Derby winner. As the happy breeders visit the paddock where mamma and foal are ensconced, their hopes are dashed as they discover the foal missing and nowhere to be found. Who could have stolen the foal and why?

Although this was my first foray into the Josiah Reynolds Mystery series, I was gratefully not asea as I read this nineteenth in series novella. It provided enough background material to provide sufficient framework from which to understand the characters' relationships with one another. The writing is solid and much is delivered in a short and compact story. There are enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing over the course of the book. The author is well versed in bee matters and understands the horse derby crowd to a tee. The story was informative and most entertaining.

I am grateful to author Abigail Keam for having provided a complimentary e-copy of this book through LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Her generosity, however, has not influenced this review - the words of which are mine alone.
