Animal lovers read on..., Jun 30 2008
By Elizabeth Slater - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tacked To Death (Mass Market Paperback)
Michaela (Mick) Bancroft's big charity event is causing more headaches than she expected - and not from the polo mallets that she's been dodging on the field. While polo is a new (and difficult) sport for her, not to mention painful, most of her aggravation is coming from setting up for the fashion show that follows! The caterers are complaining and threatening not to follow the menu the rich donors are expecting, and the make-up artist is five seconds from walking out the door after an incident with local playboy Sterling Taber - the man who also happens to be voted Most Eligible Bachelor for the fashion show. After putting out the flames, Mick's ready to toss her polo mallet at the next person who looks at her cross-eyed - until someone does it for her...All Mick wants is to run her farm, take care of her horses, and teach her kids - the autistic and special needs children who come to her for lessons. She's somewhat serious about her detective boyfriend Jude Davis, but still isn't sure about that final step. When, during the fashion show, Michaela stumbles over the body of her less than favorite person Sterling, she becomes suspect number one in his murder. With Jude on a cruise with his daughter, Mick decides that she must prove her own innocence since the police do not seem inclined to look beyond proof of the murder weapon - Michaela's own polo mallet.
Having been so generous with her own time and friendship in the past, Mick's friends are more than willing to help her with her own problems, despite the questionable legalities of some of techniques. And while these antics seem to take their toll on Mick's relationship with Jude, they seem to be working on bringing the truth to bear - but will Mick be alive to see justice served?
This is a great cozy in the horse-lovers series - a definite animal-lover's series. Michaela has a lot of common sense despite managing to talk herself out of it quite often, and a large heart. I regret having missed the second book in the series but hope to remedy that shortly, however; the book can stand by itself with the information included. Cozy readers will love to curl up with this one, but I personally think Mick needs more time with her horses!

Fun, Interesting, Entertaining, July 9 2010

This review is from: Tacked to Death (Paperback)
This is the third book of the Horse Lovers mystery series. The main character, Michaela, and Camden open a new "horse" store. I would have loved to go shopping there! Michaela loves horses, loves children, and she works works with horses and children, teaching them to ride, therapeutic riding lessons, etc. I love Michaela; she has a soft spot for children, horses, etc.This is a murder mystery, so therefore, someone is murdered. I will not say who or where, as not to ruin the book for those who have not read it yet. Michaela goes on some interesting adventures while trying to solve the murder. This book was interesting and hard to put down!
Michele Scott, the author, has created an interesting bunch of characters! They are very well developed; I felt I knew them, and they had depth.
This book has enough "horses" in it to make it interesting for horse lovers (like me), but not so much that non-horse lovers wouldn't like it. This wonderful book does not depend on the horses to make it good, but the horses do add to the book and make it that much better.
I really loved this book, and I loved Michaela. She is a character I would love to know! And it was fun getting "outdoors" with the horses. (I spend most of my time indoors.)
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves cozies, or horses, or both.

A taste of mondy & murder, Feb 25 2008
By S. Vosseller "Amateur Editor" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tacked To Death (Mass Market Paperback)
This third book in the Horse Lovers Mysteries takes the reader into the polo ring where money, greed and treachery lead to murder and our heroine, Michaela Bancroft is right in the thick of it. The murder weapon points to her and she is in big trouble. I had a great time reading it and would recommend it to mystery lovers who also like a bit of spicy romance with their mayhem. It would make great gifts for your friends!
