Sometimes as a reviewer, you may get a book that starts out slow and then book gains momentum and your interest as it goes along. Then there can be books that get you from the first page. This book got me from the start. Elliott Chapel owns a horse farm that his father had started. His dad Paul Chapel was well known in the racing world. He trained thoroughbreds, but after the loss of his wife due to child birth he changed completely. His relationship with his son is something you can find out about when you read this book. Elliott and his farm manager Booley were out mending fences when they came upon a woman who was bloodied and beaten laying face up in the shadow waters of Penny Creek. Elliott told Booley he would go and call the Sheriff and the doctor to come (my review will not fit in here. What do you suggest?) Sandra Heptinstall "Whisperingwindsbookreviews."
