Stealer of Horses

The High Country Mystery Series, Book 3

By: Loretta Jackson, Vickie Britton

Narrated by: Michael Bowen

The famous Carlo painting Stealer of Horses sells for cash in a small Wyoming town and gallery owner Sheldon Spence gives the $200,000 to his wife, who walks over to the bank to make the deposit...and never returns. A witness claims to have seen a frightened-looking Susan Spence in a battered old Chevy, speeding out of town. And each succeeding clue reveals a different angle on her disappearance.

Sheriff Jeff McQuede begins to wonder if this is more than a simple case of kidnapping and robbery. Was Sheldon involved in Susan's disappearance? Or did Susan and a lover fake the scheme, planning to run off with the money they stole from Sheldon? The identity of a victim found shot behind the wheel of the Chevy holds the key to one ominous question: Is Susan Spence a kidnap victim - or is she part of some sinister ploy?

Small town murder "who dunnit"

I just finished Stealer of Horses, the 3rd book in Loretta Jackson's and Vickie Britton's High Country mystery series. I was kept guessing throughout the book as to the identity of the culprit. I have enjoyed this series, and look forward reading the rest of the books in this series as well as more of Loretta and Vickie's titles. Their writing is clean-cut, down to earth, and relatable to me as the stories take place in Wyoming, my neighboring state. Also, the narrator does a good job of capturing the various personalities of the charactors.
