I can’t help but rave about Laura Crum’s latest
release. I love this story from the
start with Cutter to the 12th
book, Barnstorming. The story of veterinarian, Gail McCarthy,
began with her adventures at the age of 31.
This also happened to be my age when I discovered the series a few years
ago. It was so easy to relate to the
characters. With each book Gail ages and
her life evolves. The story is so engaging that every year I make time
to reread each book in the sequence. I
don’t plan on changing this tradition.
The story is full of excitement, suspense, and, of course,
horses. Laura Crum does a fantastic job
of telling a story that moves quickly but has the detail needed to really relate to
the characters, human and horse, alike.
The main character, Gail, struggles with decisions about family and career at the
same time dealing with life and death situations and a mystery that keeps your
on your toes.
I made a day of this book.
I found a very rare opening in my hectic life and sat on the couch with
a drink and snacks and just read the book cover to cover. The feeling I got as I read the last page was
bittersweet. It was delightful to enjoy
the experience but disappointing that it was over. I could give you a book report and summarize
the story but that would just ruin it for you.
Get the book. Or better yet,
order the entire series. I did and have
never regretted it.

Thank you so much for such a great review. I'm glad you enjoyed the books.
I love the details in the books. I can see Monterey Bay in my mind and would love to visit someday. It is so different from my much loved flat, coastal Texas. It will be awhile before I get the chance. I'm working on building my (realistic) dream home. I am just 3 years in the house and am saving for the real dream- the barn. Someday...
