About the book
Fethering's beloved detectives are back in action once again when Jude and Carole Seddon become involved in some horse-related antics, stumbling upon the deceased ex-equestrian Walter Fleet at Long Bamber Stables.
The authorities believe that the fatal stabbing is the work of the enigmatic "Horse Ripper," known for harming horses in West Sussex-and whom Walter likely caught in the act. However, given Walter's questionable reputation, Jude and Carole discover a multitude of potential suspects, including Walter's mistreated spouse and several envious husbands who may have wished for Walter's eviction.
