Saddled with Murder An Edwardian Cozy Mystery

A middle-aged saddler. An unexpected corpse. A witty old horse with a nose for murder. Sometimes, the best detectives have hooves. Downton Abbey meets Dick Francis in this cozy historical murder mystery. Somerset, England, 1903. As a saddler, Miss Harriet Cobb knows she needs to get her hands dirty to make a living. But she never thought her latest saddlery job would lead her to a corpse. With a leaky cottage roof and dwindling savings, middle-aged Harriet is on the prowl for new clients. A few sensible clients would be nice-but her neighbors seem to have more money than sense. When asked to repair a saddle for a séance (a very silly project indeed), Harriet winds up at Lady Chedington's estate with her horse, Bertie, a witty old fellow with some decidedly un-horsey habits. Everyone knows that horses can be dangerous, but when one of Lady Chedington's guests turns up dead, Harriet and Bertie suspect foul play. Was it a simple horse accident or something more sinister?
