One Hell of a Mystery — Jeannie Sutton Hogue

Equestrian investigator, Jesse Statham, has several problems; one is that she uncovers a dead body at the racetrack where her most valued horse is kept. Jesse, along with Georgia Lee, her boss who is often called J.P., for just another pain, get into more than two "mental-pausal" women should.As the killers of the horsey set try to cover their tracks, Jesse and Georgia are right behind them, or one step ahead. Combine all of this with a nymphomaniac friend, a secretary from hell, and a dog on Prozac.Jesse hardly has the energy to crack open another hate mail fortune cookie that her Chinese cook concocts, while J.P. has the energy of a spastic teenager partying in her office after hours. Although completely opposite in many ways, the two are both highly respected equestrian authorities who share the rather peculiar nocturnal habit of simultaneously sleeping with fans to keep them cool and heating pads to keep them warm. These two Southern "pistol pals" are definitely not damsels in distress.
