Product #4: Full Mortality by Sasscer Hill

Description:

Jennifer H says a good easy read, well paced. If your are from the eastern seaboard the scenes are so richly painted that you can practically feel the seams in the concrete interstate bumping along as Nikki drives her way in and out of trouble. For fans of the light, quick paced, mystery novel, Full Mortality will satisfy. Equestrians will enjoy the purposeful yet appropriate level of horsey-ness in the story. Horses behave like horses in this book, and horse people, in all of their many flavors, behave like horse people! I give Full Mortality 4.5 Flakes!
