    About this ebook

    HORSE WRECK-OR WAS IT MURDER?
    Chasing Cans is rodeo slang for barrel racing, a competition that can bring its winners fame and big bucks. To Gail McCarthy, a horse vet turned stay-at-home mom, chasing cans also stands for the ambitious pursuit of empty career goals at the expense of personal and family tranquility. While Gail is wrestling with this question in her own life, she witnesses a mystifying riding accident that kills a neighbor, a barrel-racing trainer.

    Then a mysterious series of seeming accidents occurs at the training establishment, and Gail’s detective friend Jeri asks for her help in understanding the people and activities involved. The two women struggle to put the pieces of a puzzle together before someone else dies, and for her trouble Gail nearly becomes the next victim. Her horsemanship skills save her in a climax that pits her in a race against a desperate villain with a definite reason to want her silenced forever.

    The tenth book in the beloved series about Gail McCarthy is also a portrait of a woman making the challenging transition from her full-time career as a horse vet to full-time mother-in a graceful and positive, yet realistic way.

      Happily married and seven months pregnant, horse vet Gail McCarthy is transitioning from busy, successful, go-to practitioner to mommy-to-be. Which means a lot of giving up - her practice, her truck, her career (at least temporarily), but also a lot of gaining. (And not just the weight she's packed on, either!) But when Gail's cousins calls worried about mysterious goings on, a poisoned dog and a blinded horse, Gail can't resist doing some poking around. Of course, poking around isn't exactly safe, especially when you're heavily pregnant and moving none too quickly....Jealousy, greed, fear and a healthy dose of suspense make this one a quick read. Fans of the series may not like Gail's impending mommy-hood, but I'm interested to see how her sleuthing is affected by her relative lack of mobility. Will being tied to baby-strings keep Gail from getting into trouble in future installments? I sure hope not!
