FIVE STARS! "Abigail Keam continues to charm with an assortment of characters that are charismatic and endearing. Josiah is a great character and her unique ability to stumble upon bodies is a great way to draw her into the mystery." -Readers' Favorite

Josiah is happy for her pals Lady Elsmere and Shaneika Mary Todd when broodmare Jean Harlow gives birth to a male foal sired by Comanche. The owners of both horses have high hopes the foal will become a stakes winner—maybe even win the Kentucky Derby. The foal has a broad chest, indicating significant lung capacity---important for winning races, but just like his daddy, the foal is ebony with a bad attitude.

Josiah and Shaneika visit dam Jean Harlow early one morning and are shocked to find the prized foal is missing. They frantically search Lady Elsmere’s and Josiah’s farms without success. It’s urgent they find the foal fast as he is not yet weaned and is too young to be separated from his mother. Who would snatch the feisty foal from his mother’s care? And equally important, why?

T Thompson, Goodreads Review

“FIVE STARS! ” This amusing contemporary cozy tale was quite the conundrum and despite conjuring multiple theories as I read, I would never have come up with the end result as written by this wordsmith. Ms. Keam’s complex characters as they are uniquely quirky, well-nuanced, at least a little bit sketchy, and all realistically fractured. This was my introduction to the character of Asa whose story threads intrigued, compelled, and had more twists than a snake’s trail.”“
