Great story and great characters

I love horses and I enjoy great robbery stories. This was a great mix of the two.

Ten Stars...!

Loved it!!! What a story. Couldn't stop listening! This is why Lynda La Plante is the queen of mysteries, thrillers, and police procedurals. Loved the characters, circumstances, locales, and how the story revolved around horse racing and breeding as well. As usual, can't wait until your next Audible book Ms. La Plante!

It wasn’t what I expected.

I didn’t like the characters. The behavior was not believable as it was written. And it certainly didn’t have much to do with horse racing.

Skipped to the end.

Narrator was very good. Story strained credulity. I finally lost patience and went to the last couple of chapters, just to see how it turned out.

Bummer

Long and bad ending really. I would not recommend it unless you like disappointment and sad ending
