She Said Horse (Paperback)

The family lore is one thing, but the Smiths are quite another. The two sources of information are miles apart. On the one hand, she cannot get her father to open up the history of the O'Malley's and tries to find out about the lore by other means. And the other source, the Smiths, are so numerous that she begins to doubt her wisdom in suspecting that a Smith is the answer in the first place. One Smith stands out but he is beyond reproach for all he can see in her is a dichotomy. He is falling in love with her, and, he suspects her of the crimes. The mutually exclusive, contradictory emotions that she sees in him ignite yet another clue. Nevertheless, she can do nothing about it for Smith has put her in house arrest. Officer Smith learns that the vaunted SAS has taken over the civil case. He feels that it is abnormal enough that he protests, but is subdued when he learns that Gayle is to be his boss. Throughout the investigation, the devious plot on the O'Malley's tears at the fabric of the entire family so much so that each member must search their own reasons for their individual involvement in the murders. as she goes to trust, to give and take and most of all to follow her six senses. However, the Smiths are lurking in the shadows. Her suspects surprise her. She finds that she can learn from them, come to grips with her inner-self, understand her calling in life, and perhaps solve the mysteries.
