A quick reading tale set in Palm Springs. A small animal veterinarian, Andi Pauling is drawn into the polo world by the arrival of old vet school friend Ross McRoberts. McRoberts is the vet with the equine interest and connections, Pauling is the small animal specialist and between them the animal content is quite high and nicely written. Some demonization of fanatic fringe animal activist whackos and a discussion of adult topics of AIDS and homosexuality remind you that the age of innocence is past. This was a satisifying read with well handled horsey elements.
Not a typical mystery

I am not a fan of mysteries and I was reluctant to read this book at first. But seeing as how it was not written by a policeman or a former detective but by a VETERINARIAN (me being an animal lover) thought I'd give it a whirl. I am glad I did. This is not a typical whodunnit mystery, it is is more of a thriller with some psychological aspects (this is especially seen in the second book, The Hand That Feeds You). It is definitely fast-paced and keeps you wnating to know more.
