Another fun time with these seniors, Peg and Rose, as they find themselves in the middle of another murder. What starts out as a girls trip with the most unlikely pair, quickly becomes another adventure for them. It's always good to see women not acting their ages!

Peg and Rose are back and this time going to Kentucky to visit Six Oaks Farm to see a horse that Peg owns and for her to judge a dog show. When someone is murdered at the Farm, Peg and Rose need to investigate. Fun mystery series.

This was a great third entry in the Senior Sleuths Mystery series, it uses the mystery element perfectly and enjoyed how well everything worked. It had a strong story and I enjoyed how good the characters worked with this, I wanted to solve what was going on with them in this book. Laurien Berenson has a great writing style and hope there is more in this series.

A great addition to the Peg and Rose series. If you’re a fan of the Melanie Travis books (I’ve read them all) I think you will enjoy the character development of Peg. I find the writing of the relationship between Peg and Rose makes Peg a much more likable character. This books has the added plus of bringing thoroughbred auctions in as a major plot focus. The author clearly has in depth knowledge of the horse world and that really added to the mystery..

I adore Peg and Rose!!

This time, the Miss Marple sleuths are on a road trip from their homes in Connecticut to the high-speed racehorse world of Kentucky!

I love their cheeky banter, and their genuine love for each other, that sees them through every scrape. Especially when there's danger afoot!

Seeing these two around horses this go-round was such a fun twist! And I didn't see the plot twist either, which was nice.

"What if I'm mistaken?"
"You're not."
"How do you know?"
"Because I agree with you. And I'm a wonderful judge of character."
"Besides that."
"There's no 'besides that'."

They're delightful!!

"Peg and Rose Play the Ponies" is a great edition to the series. Peg, a circuit judge for dog shows, invites Rose to come with her to Kentucky where the two fall into a murder investigation and must help the suspect prove she is innocent. The friendship between the two women feels realistic and their banter is a hoot. Recommended for lovers of cozy mysteries and animals. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. #PegandRosePlaythePonies #NetGalley

#PegandRosePlaythePonies #NetGalley is the newest book in the series and it really is well done.
Peg is famous for her standard poodles knowledge and is enjoying life as a circuit judge for dog shows.
Since reconnecting with her sister in law, Rose, they have managed to get themselves involved in a few murder investigations.
Peg is going to Kentucky to judge a couple of dog shows, but she also has a yearlong horse that is up for sale, so she convinces Rose to accompany her.
Of course this trip won't be complete without a murder investigation, so it's no surprise when the Yearling manager's body is found, possibly murdered, and the women are asked to help a suspect prove her innocence.
I liked this book because Rose seems to shine, she learns her way with Hope, Peg's standard poodle, and she really holds her own with Peg as well.
The author has done a great job with this series, I really enjoy reading about these two different women, who seem to love and respect each other, even if not always apparent.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.
I'm happy to recommend this series to other readers.

Peg wants to travel to Kentucky to see the sale of her colt, and talks Rose into going along. Of course there is a stop for judging at a dog show, but most of the book is set at the sale barns. A whole week is a long time, but learned a bit about thoroughbred horse lingo with this one plus so of the behind of the scenes instead of simply watching a quick race or two. Enjoyed this one, I think it is book 3. Good banter and cozy mystery here and one I would highly recommend. Fun read.
