While Nora Blackbird is covering the annual Fox Hunt Breakfast at an exclusive club for the local newspaper, she is shocked to hear that Rush Strawcutter, husband of a wealthy heiress, has been murdered in a horse stall. She is even more alarmed when she finds her sister, Emma, unconscious and bruised nearby. All evidence points to Emma as the culprit. Working to prove Emma's innocence, Nora uncovers several secrets of Philadelphia's high society...secrets that could get her killed.
The third book in Nancy Martin's Blackbird Sisters series is a nice cozy mystery with a lot of humor. Nora gets help from childhood friend Hadley Pinkham, crazy older sister Libby, and sometime boyfriend Michael Abruzzo. But her new puppy, Spike, is the star of this book. He is described as the offspring of her neighbor's beloved rat terrier-poodle-rattlesnake mix and a legendary mongrel that has been featured on Animal Control's most wanted list for two years. My rating: 4 Stars.

When Rush Strawcutter, the husband of wealthy dogfood heiress, is found bludgeoned to death in a horse stall at an exclusive hunt club, Nora Blackbird is as surprised as anyone. Another Blackbird sisters murder mystery. An enjoyable read.

Still more of the funny Blackbird sisters. Nora, her straight-and-narrow driver (she faints and cannot have a license!), her wacky sisters, her grandmother's vintage couture clothing, and one of the best and most mysterious leading men in quite a few years: the sexy Mick, son of a Mafia don...very enjoyable mysteries.
I liked the ending much better than the beginning or the middle. However this ending left me dangling and although I know who done it...I don't know if justice was done.
This is the third book in "A Blackbird Sisters Mystery". It is a good read.
