From the moment Peg arrives in Kentucky, dragging level-headed Rose along for the week-long excursion proves a smart move. Because after she brings her canine expertise to prestigious conformation shows, next on the agenda is selling her Thoroughbred broodmare's offspring at a high-stakes yearling sale. And when the ladies arrive to meet the young horse at Six Oaks farm, something seems off about the place—especially Jim Grable, the yearling manager with serious anger issues . . .

While Peg feels comfortable again judging pedigree pups over Labor Day Weekend, Rose judges a shocking new turn of events. Jim has been found dead on the farm and a young employee needs help convincing police she didn't kill him. As disjointed clues lead to a list of misdeeds swirling around Six Oaks, everyone connected to Jim agrees on one thing—he had it coming . . .

It isn't until Peg guides her colt's journey to the auction ring that she grasps how much Jim had been manipulating the process behind the scenes. Now, unable to rely on her instincts alone, Peg must also trust in Rose's talents to expose the real culprit. But the two need to have each other's backs before tangling with a killer—a deadly criminal set on halting their dog and pony show for good!

      Berenson’s bewitching third Senior Sleuths mystery (after Peg and Rose Stir Up Trouble) finds septuagenarian sisters-in-law Peg Turnbull and Rose Donovan heading from Connecticut to Kentucky to check in on Peg’s mare, Lucky Luna. Luna’s latest colt is slated for auction at the local yearling sale, which Peg has roped Rose into attending. It’s a straightforward-enough proposition until Peg and Rose arrive at Six Oaks Farm, where Luna is being stabled, and encounter angry yearling manager Jim Grable. Though they sense tension on the premises, Peg and Rose turn a blind eye until Rose reads, in a news bulletin, that Jim has been found dead on the farm. The police pin his murder on Six Oaks employee Lucia Alvarez, but Rose doubts Lucia’s guilt, so she enlists Peg to help her clear the young woman’s name. Together, they unearth deep-seated corruption on the farm. Though Berenson has moved the setting from dog shows to horse stables, series fans will get exactly what they came for: lively banter, a breezy mystery, and plenty of amusing animal antics. This is good fun. Agent: Meg Ruley, Jane Rotrosen Agency.
