I absolutely loved this book! A brilliant murder mystery - I didn’t see the murderer coming until it was revealed, so many twists and turns it kept you on your toes from start to finish! Couldn’t put the book down!

With her station recently sold and jobs on the line, Callie can’t believe the good fortune of stumbling across a dead body in a ditch. (“Good” strictly in a career-saving capacity, naturally.) The victim turns out to be a wealthy equestrian — the first of three who will ultimately be found strangled along the peaceful rolling pastures of prestigious Chanticleer Farms.

This was a very fun mystery. I look forward to more books starring Callie Kinsey!

Callie is worried about her job at the news station, if only a big story would break out and give them the ratings they need to keep her on.
Deaths will do, especially ones where Callie is always first on the scene.
In this equestrian themed murder mystery everyone is hiding secrets but who is the killer? Also contains little bit of romance! This is book 1 of the Callie Kinsey mystery series.

This was my first cowboy/ murder mystery book and I thoroughly enjoyed it, can’t wait for the rest of the series.

Didn’t read the blurb on this one so assumed it was a small town cowboy romance based on the cover! What I actually got was a small town, rich people murder mystery based around horse stables! Did not disappoint!
Callie is a news reporter about to lose her job, who finds herself right in the middle of a murder investigation when she finds a dead body on her way to ride her horse!
With everyone a suspect who will actually turn out to be the murderer?
Will Callie manage to keep her job at the station?

An excellent start of a new cozy series: I had a lot of fun, appreciated the well rounded characters and the tightly knitted plot.
The solid mystery kept me guessing.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I really enjoyed this book and all of its twists and turns. I honestly had no idea who I should be rooting for and who I should be against at any stage in this book. I’ve never read a murder mystery centered around a stables before so that was an aspect of the book that I really found interesting and captivating. I also found the hints of romance scattered throughout the book really enjoyable. I liked that there was also issues around sexism both in the workplace and in police investigations brought up in the book. I feel like this is an aspect to murder mysterys that isn’t often written about. The book was fast paced making it a quick, fun, easy read but at the same time it had my mind whirring trying to work out who the killer was. It was a perfect book to read between the many fantasies that I’ve been consuming recently.

I was drawn to this book since it was based on the horse world. The descriptions of such high end horse boarding was interesting. I've stayed in some nice barns but none like that. This was an entertaining book. The ending was a bit of a stretch for me.

Divas ’Til Death by Mary Curran
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


A perfect, cosy murder mystery, what you’d expect from a Hallmark movie, is the only way I can describe this book.

Callie Kinsey, the FMC, strays across a dead body while out hacking. From there it’s a race against time to figure out who did it while trying not to be the next victim herself.

A little fact about me, I’m a horse girly through and through, so when I see anything equestrian-wise I’m game. And this book did not disappoint.

I loved every moment of it and am looking forward to the next instalment.

Highly recommend.
