Roped

In Laura Crum's fourth book featuring veterinarian Gail McCarthy, the amateur sleuth finds herself involved in her most personally challenging mystery yet. Gail is watching a roping event when one horse mysteriously goes down. Its leg broken, the animal must be put to sleep. When a second accident occurs moments later and another horse is seriously injured, Gail begins to question the coincidence. Gail's fears are confirmed when an old friend named Lisa, the daughter of the man on whose property the accidents occurred, shows up and begs for her help. Lisa fears a conspiracy to sabotage her father's business, and points to several likely suspects. There is a group of angry animal-rights protesters who have been picketing the establishment. There is Lisa's bitter ex-husband, who seems determined to have her back, and there are others, some with obvious, if farfetched, motives.
