Hello, horse fans and hello, mystery fans, and hello, horse mystery fans! Welcome to Season Six of your favourite horse-based true crime podcast!

We have a treat for all you lovers of horse mysteries as Lezah and Dave have an enjoyable conversation with Virginia Slachman, a college professor, horse lover, and a creator of horse mysteries. Yes, Virginia has written four mystery novels centred around the world of horse racing: three in the Harper Hill series – Blood in the Bluegrass, Beast in the Bluegrass, and Betrayed in the Bluegrass – with a fourth on the way, and a stand alone book The Lost Ode.

You can find Virginia’s books here. You can also visit her website here.

We had a fun conversation with Virginia about mystery writing, her journey to becoming a mystery writer, the world of horse racing and the love, care and protection of our horse friends. So thanks to Virginia for coming on the show!

Horse Mysteries big wig, Lezah Williamson, and Listening Party/Fansplainers MVP Mary Dedrick are a couple of good sports and gamely go through a list of topics drawn from Sneaky Dragon Episode 700.
