BLUEGRASS PERIL   by  Virginia Smith   
Review  #14
This is an inspirational, romantic, suspense novel, set near Lexington, KY.

Neal Haldeman operates a retired champion horse farm, 'Out To Pasture'. It is his passion to save champion horses from the slaughter house when they are no longer able to breed. Becky Dennison runs his office.

WHO KILLED HER BOSS? When single Mom of twin boys, Becky Dennison, trips over her boss's body in the horse barn, she becomes the prime suspect in his murder. Then, Scott Lewis, handsome assistant manager of a nearby horse farm, entered Becky's life. Soon the amateur detectives were on the trail of the murderer. As they work and sleuth together, their feelings for each other deepen. Then her ex-husband shows up and complicates matters.

I found this book easy to read, the plot interesting and overall, liked the writing. I would recommend it to all romantic suspense lovers.

NOTE:
There is only one real farm like 'Out To Pasture', in the Nation, that takes in Stallions. It is in Georgetown, KY.

'Old Friends', founded by Michael Blowen, began as a retirement and rescue facility for pensioned Thoroughbreds. Then news broke of the inconceivable death of Kentucky Derby winner Ferdinand in a slaughterhouse in Japan in 2002.....to read more about this real farm, go to: www.oldfriendsequine.com/
