 I really enjoyed this book. Feb 25, 2003
I have read all of Laura Crum's books, and I think this is the best one yet. Fast paced, lots of interesting detail and a great storyline. I highly recommend this mystery

 strong who-done-it Feb 02, 2003
The first victim of the stable arsonist is Bishop Ranch Stable. Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office Detective Jeri Ward immediately thinks inside job and suspects manager Bart Bishop of committing the crime to collect insurance money. However, two more stables are torched and a caretaker murdered making Bart no longer look like the culprit.Jeri still believes that "incest' has occurred as she strongly thinks that an insider is causing the fires. Horse veterinarian Gail McCarthy, who has been at each crime scene to help the horses, sees the thug that started the fourth fire, but she suffers a concussion and cannot recall whom she observed. Still the arsonist has apparently killed a human and several horses so Gail could easily be a target, as the culprit will not want her to remember and identify her/him. The seventh veterinary mystery, HAYBURNER, is a strong who-done-it that is at its best when Laura Crum portrays the anguish and pain of injured horses and the related veterinary scenes. The investigation plays second fiddle to the steeds and McCarthy's romantic seesaw. This mystery is more for animal lovers with a strong stomach as this tale makes stars of the steeds.

A Very Enjoyable Read Feb 01, 2003
I always pre-order Laura Crum's books because I'm confident that they will be good and I haven't been disappointed yet. If you are a horseperson you will particularly enjoy her books because it's quite clear that she knows what she's talking about. I read Hayburner in one sitting - need I say more?
