Telegraph Sport understands greyhound racing events are likely to be targeted next – but other major racing events are not part of the current plan.Of zouden de uitgevers het ook niet meer getrokken hebben en van ellende maar een prachtige cover erop geplakt hebben? As other reviewers have said, I could see this being the first entry into a series where the protagonist is a forensic veterinarian, and I could easily see this being adapted into a gritty British crime series. Artist Kristin Kjarr, who smashed her car into a house while under the influence of drugs and almost killed a child, has left not a suicide note, but dozens of drawings of the same man. On a lonely farmstead, an old woman falls down outside and, unable to move, is consumed overnight by two of her pigs.

At the point where I gave the book one last chance, the anthrax twist began which helped to keep me reading until the end. Auch muss man wissen, dass teilweise sehr expliziet auf Tierquälerei eingegangen wird, das kann bestimmt auch nicht jeder lesen. Jeder scheint hier verdächtig zu sein, niemand sich zu Zeugenaussagen durchringen zu können und am sonderbarsten wirken die psychisch angeschlagenen Ermittler selbst mit ihren dunklen Seiten. Kamil helps out when Saibal caters for his friend Rakesh Sharma’s lavish 60th birthday party, but at the end of the night Sharma’s body is discovered in the swimming pool of his opulent “Anglo-Greco-Bollyweirdo” house in north London. It is full of small, and not so small, digressions that make no sense when read and are never later put into a firm context.

Sixteen Horses is a story of enduring guilt, trauma and punishment, set in a small seaside community the rest of the world has left behind . I don't mean the killer but the others who felt like outcasts (and oddly enough that includes the Detective). I wasn't even sure by the last page who killed the horses - oh, and some dogs in some crates - or how and why. However, the rest of the book reads like a prelude - and I couldn’t help thinking this will be a first book in a series about a quirky crime investigator who is not a police officer but a vet. In the previous nine years there were a total of 17 who fell or were unseated over the first two fences.But in reality the reason horses were used were bec they had the faintest connection to one of the victims: oooo so the girl I want to get back at liked horses, and I’m doing 16 bec that’s how old she was.

He is helped by a forensic veterinarian, Dr Cooper Allen, an outsider initially brought in for 4 days.Dark, visceral and disturbing, this highly suspenseful and beautifully written thriller is totally gripping from start to finish. I found the plot disjointed and hard to follow, and I didn't "get" any of the characters - neither feeling like I knew them well enough to guess who the perpetrator would be, nor understanding their motivations or backstories. Twist the block one way and it's all sparkles; twist it another and a horse's eye is looking at you. If they can help me feel the emotions I need to feel in the moment, I immediately switch to writing and try and capture my own version of those feelings on the page.
