Frighten the Horses: A Rusty Coulter Mystery

Rating:
Summary: Dead prof and stable matters
Review: The author has two passions - horses and literature - and he manages to mix the two into an intriguing mystery. Scene is a thinly disguised Austin and University of Texas. The chairman of the English Department is murdered in the mail room. I labored there long ago, and the campus ambience is unmistakable; so is the politics of a big faculty. There are large doses of good literature, plus the inside info on training horses for show. Well-written, with interesting characters and subplots. We hope there is another Rusty Coulter mystery in the works.
