The stables' horsey holiday accommodation has been booked by a group of hens and a bride-to-be, but when one of their number is murdered, it turns into the holiday from hell.
Detective Inspector Rouen is leading the investigation into the death, but when Hayley asks her new boyfriend to share the details, it's obvious that he doesn't want her help this time around. Hayley suspects it has something to do with the very rude, and very attractive female police officer, who follows Shaun like a shadow.
That's why when Hayley overhears the owner of the stables having what sounds like a very incriminating telephone conversation, she decides that it will be her own little mystery to solve.
Returning home late at night after a dreadful date, Hayley hears a horse neigh in the lane outside the stables. Fearing an escapee, she goes out to investigate, only to come face to face horse she's never seen before in her life.
Who does the mystery horse belong to, and is it tied in with the unsolved murder?
Hayley needs to take the reins on this case and reveal the killer, or she risks losing a lot more than just her horse holiday clients!
