Straw Horse: A Kat Wilde Upper Peninsula (U.P.) Michigan Mystery - Hardcover

by Terri Martin (Author)

This witty and suspenseful romantic mystery is set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where life for Kathryn "Kat" Wilde is anything but tranquil. Though only in her mid-twenties, Kat finds herself juggling the many demands of a struggling horse operation, Wildwood Stables, while navigating a perplexing romance with her "sort-of" boyfriend, DNR officer, Nikko Olsen. A pleasant trail ride begins a chain of events, starting with the discovery of two bodies deep in the wilderness. Kat's investigation circles back to something very rare and valuable on Wildwood land. Bad things happen and sabotage is suspected, but by whom or what? The arrival of dodgy characters intensifies Kat's suspicion that someone is targeting her beloved Wildwood Stables, and she needs to find out why. Rich in humor, heart, and intrigue, Straw Horse blends romance and suspense with unforgettable characters and a setting as wild and unpredictable as the heroine herself.

"Straw Horse is everything a great mystery is made of-loveable characters, mysterious strangers, a whack job or two, a little romance, some family secrets, and plenty of action. In this soon-to-be favorite U.P. series, Kat Wilde handles horses, investigates murder and mayhem, and gets to know better the man in her life." - Tyler R. Tichelaar, PhD and award-winning author of The Mysteries of Marquette

"Martin's humor and endearing cast of supporting characters, ranging from a cow-eyed accountant to a lyre-playing hippie aunt, help Kat cinch the deal in Straw Horse, a true pleasure to read." -Nancy Besonen, author of Off The Hook and Off The Hook Too!
