Why read it?
1 author picked The Dark Horse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I bought this book because I am a Longmire fan. The tight-lipped, tough Wyoming sheriff with a big heart and true grit is my kind of guy. I expected a juicy murder mystery, but not the heart-catching ride on a black beauty double.

From Linda's list on adventure on horseback for adults.
