When Jude pays a visit to Long Bamber Stables - to meet an unusual new client and his owner, Sonia Dalrymple - she does not expect to stumble across a man laying in the darkness.
Co-owner of the stables Walter Fleet has been viciously stabbed to death, and Jude suspects she may have arrived only seconds after his murder. Unable to resist a mystery, friends Jude and Carole begin to make discreet enquiries.
It soon becomes clear that Long Bamber Stables is a hotbed of dangerous passions, murderous rivalries and sinister secrets...and this horsing community will do anything to conceal the truth behind their deceptive lives.

One of the characters happily takes money from wealthy people to look after their horses, despite the fact that they want her to act in an abusive, harmful way. Another horse is injured due to being ridden too hard, with none of the absolute horror that that should engender in the characters. Jude is a healer, not a vet. For goodness sake, get that poor animal some proper medical help and stop promoting the idea that it’s ok to not take its suffering seriously.
Some of the characters casually mention what a shame it is that hunting is now illegal in the UK, without any attempt to tell them that this is a good thing: it was banned because it’s immensely cruel.
The two main characters go to the races and enjoy it.
In England, horse racing is not a popular form of entertainment. The majority of people recognise that it’s cruel and don’t watch it or bet on it.
Jude certainly wouldn’t pay money to the National Hunt to attend a racing day and she most definitely would report a business that was turning a blind eye to suffering animals to the RSPCA, not continue to be friends with the owner.
