"When you pick this book up, it'll envelope you with thrill and death, in an ever-deepening bog of deception!" -- Leo Matt Man, Blogger
"I think you should read this book, because it's about horses, it's a murder mystery, and it's quite a lot about horses!" -- Edith Fleischmann, nine-year-old
Clara M.B. Fleischmann, mother of ten, writes a heartfelt, sensitive, and intriguing story of a sixteen-year-old girl, Edith, who loves and longs for horses, horses, horses! Edith works hard to fulfill her dreams, at the local stable in the small village Rhyme. It's hard work, but Edith wants to save up to buy a horse. Then one day, by the clever arrangement of her empathetic employer and Edith's aunt Knitty, Edith is offered a dream-like opportunity to board a little sorrel horse at Knitty's farm, where Edith is staying while she works at the stable. Right away, Edith must begin to compare dreams with reality, what-she-sees with what-is-true... The little sorrel horse, Little Red Riding Hood, has memories, deep and dark memories, that Edith begins to share. Edith relives the events of the past, and she begins to understand that Little Red Riding Hood is the key to a dark and muddy murder.
