The stabbing in the stables

When healer Jude pays a visit to Long Bamber Stables one evening - to meet her unusually equine new client and his owner Sonia Dalrymple - she does not expect to stumble across a man laying in the darkness.

Co-owner of the stables, Walter Fleet, has been viciously stabbed to death.

Sleuthing neighbours Jude and Carole begin to make discreet enquiries, but it soon becomes clear that Long Bamber Stables is a hotbed of dangerous passions, murderous rivalries and hidden truths ...and this horsing community will do anything to protect their reputations. 'Murder most enjoyable ...An author who never takes himself that seriously, and for whom any fictional murder can frequently form part of the entertainment industry' - Colin Dexter, "The Oldie".
