Breeding Ground

Breeding Ground by Sally Wright

When is a mystery not a mystery?  When it is this book.  Supposedly this book is to be part of a series set in Kentucky in the 60's where the protagonist, Jo Grant becomes caught up in murder while maintaining the family horse farm. The problem is that two thirds of the book are spent developing the characters, community and situations before the murder even occurs and then the murder is almost immediately revealed. 

If the patron is a horse fan it might be of interest but most likely it would be better to direct them to other mystery series such as Francis or Rita Mae Brown for the mystery/horse combo.
