Review
"Jeri combines V.I. [Warshawki]'s social conscience with Kinsey [Millhone]'s bad-ass attitude and snappy narrative voice."

Product Description
Investigator Jeri Howard is fascinated by the beautiful horses and the zealous spectators at stylish Edgewater Downs. But behind the scenes, where the owners, trainers, jockeys, and grooms mingle, life is not so pretty.
Someone is terrorizing owner-trainer Molly Torrance with sinister phone threats. Who would be so malicious? Jeri's money is on ambitious jockey Benita Pascal, whom Molly recently fired. But what about great horses suddenly losing races? Or the blonde Jeri spies betting a bundle on the longest of long shots? And what about . . . cold-blooded murder? For when death's dark horse hugs the rail, Jeri gallops to find a ruthless killer.

4.0 out of 5 stars
For fans of Jeri Howard and Horse Racing,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Killing at the Track (Mass Market Paperback)
As a favor to her friend David Vanitzky, Jeri investigates threats made against racehorse owner and trainer Molly Torrance. Unfortunately, Jeri's primary suspect is soon murdered and she is left with more questions about Molly's relationships and past. The action moves along quickly and Dawson provides a fascinating study of the world of horseracing. One of my concerns about this novel is that too little time is spent on Jeri's personal life, especially in comparison to her eight previous mysteries. Also, many of the plot twists are predictable and the confession virtually falls into her lap. Overall though, this is a fast, enjoyable read, while not one of Dawson's best.
