A Really Good Read

I usually don't read mysteries. Ever. I picked this up because of the tie-in to the horse world. It was captivating and held my interest page after page. I usually "speed read" and skip the unimportant trivial words in some novels but I loved Tami Hoag's style of writing so much, I read every single word. I found myself sneaking in time to read more of the book when I should have been doing other things! Just couldn't put it down! I highly recommend.

By far... the best ever

This is by far the best story I have read by Tami Hoag. The main character had such a personality that will forever be memorable, she should write a series about Elana Estes. A recommended read for everyone.

Excellent reading

As a Tami Hoag fan, I was thrilled by this book. It follows the equestrian life closely and gives wonderful insight into that world. The plot was good and the characters even better. The main character is someone that I would like to read more about. Don't miss this book.

Not a book to love

This was my first book by her and I was so looking forward to it But I have to say that I was disappointed greatly The plot kept repeating itself over and over and there were so many bad people and then a quick final twist that left you thinking what?? It could have been a good short story but to waste all that time reading a book that just doesnt draw you in was a disappointment I will read another and give her another try but couldnt recommend this one

Can't put it down!

This is my favorite Tami Hoag book!

Very disappointed

I usually rip voraciously through Hoag's books and enjoy every minute, but this one was a chore to get through. Her love of the equestrian world is obvious, but much too cumbersomely emphasized in this book. The horsey details got in the way of the plot and seriously slowed down her normally fast-paced story-telling. Sadly, her worst effort to date.

a good read

I love Tami Hoag's writing. This book was a little different than her others like Ashes to Ashes, Night sins, Guilty of Sins, Dark thin line. This book starts telling you a little bit about equestrian, dressage and the competition between riders and grooms getting involved. Anyway, this was something i got to learn as I had no clue what goes on in the equestrain competitions. Elena, who is an ex-cop, ends up taking this case when a 12 year old Molly hires her to find her sister, Erin who was a groom to Jade. When Det. Landry gets into the picture, Elena who is not suppose to be involved in police investigation because of her past, refuses to back away as she feels an obligation to Molly to help find her sister. Landry and Elena try to solve the kidnapping case of Erin and find who killed Jill who is also another groom to Jade. A few suspects but who done it? Good Suspense and the ending was interesting.

Outstanding

Dark Horse is one of my favorite Hoag novels, and with good reason. The plot sucks you in, as does the characterization of protagonist Elena Estes. She's one of the more interesting of Hoag's creations. Full of twists and turns, this book will keep you guessing up until the hair-raising finish!

Lov'in it!

Someone recommended this book. It's the first I have read of hers. I lived in Wellington, FL for 15 years and it's fun to read about my old stomping grounds!

Looking for more by Hoag

This was the first of Hoag's books that I read and I found it very interesting. It keeps you guessing. I am looking forward to reading her others! The author has a great style of writing.

Resist the negativity!

Like another reviewer said, I was stunned by all the negative things said about this book. Elena is someone I found to be intriguing, and even more so since she was flawed. I guess maybe I liked her because she is strong and sassy, like my best friend, who also happens to be in law enforcement. The first person thing can bug me if used in some instances, but it seemed right for Elena. I think that any potential readers might not buy this book due to the early reviews, which is why I never bought it right away, but when I started reading it, I knew I had been wrong to wait. Tami Hoag has never had a bad book yet, and I eagerly await the next one!

POOR

NOT A GOOD BOOK VERY DISAPPOINTING. THE STORIES IN THE BOOK IS REPEATING ITSELF. I LIKE HER OTHERS BOOKS BETTERS I WISH YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE STORY.

FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally enjoyed this book, it was so good,just like her other ones, kept my interest totally!!!!!!!

VERY DISAPPOINTED

I'VE READ ALL HOAG'S BOOKS,THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I WAS DISAPPOINTED. THE STORY AND CHARACTERS NEVER PULL YOU IN. AFTER WAITING TWO YEARS FOR HOAG TO WRITE A NEW BOOK, DARK HORSE WAS A TRUE LET DOWN.

Best Book I Have Read So Far!!

Like watching a movie. This was the firs book I read by Tami Hoag, and now I am deturmined to get through most of her novels. She writes beautifully; tightly weaving characters that are life-like and believable.

Keeps you guessing

The book will suck you in on the beginning, takes you through a lot and then spit you out at the end in a way that will ready get you. There is no romance, no passion - in contrary: there is a lot of running away, hiding and being hero against your own will... But the thrill didn't let go until you got to the last page. This was the first Tami Hoag's novel I've read and it made me read more!!!
