Dr. Nightingale continues to learn her veterinary craft. This time she travels away from home and (naturally) lands in the middle of a murder. Meanwhile, Charlie's up to another of his bizarre money-making tricks. And what's going on with Allie? This one has fun along with the creepy corpses. And what's it all got to do with horses? Aah, read it and see!

As an avid reader of the Dr. Nightingale series I was disappointed by this effort. The main plot is contrived. Didi seeing the dairy industry and her practice failing goes to a convention in Atlantic City to bone up on the latest techniques in the horse industry. When she wittnesses the death of one of the speakers, the widow seeks her out and offers her a small fortune to edit her husband's book in Florida. But more people die and Didi thinks she is next. The clues are obtuse and the motive undetectable. It needs to be explained in the final chapter.Back home Charlie is running amuck again. A little of Charlie goes a long way and this was way more than I needed. On the other hand, Rose and Allie provided the most interesting subplot. And because of it I am very eager to read the next book in this normally excellent series.

In Hillsbrook, New York, the economy is dramatically changing. The Upstate New York town is seeing more and more of the locally owned dairy farms going out of business. Dr. Deirdre "Didi" Nightingale, predominately a dairy veterinarian, knows for her to survive the onslaught, she must change her practice, which is why she is traveling to Atlantic City to attend the Eastern States Veterinary Convention. In Dutchess County where Hillsbrook is located there is many big horse-breeding stables that hire vets and she plans to become one of them.Didi particularly wants to hear the lecture of renowned vet Eleazar Wynn, who has had extraordinary success with lame horses. Didi happen to be in a shoe store at the same time as Wynn when an unknown assailant kills the latter using a letter opener. Wynn's widow offers Didi a large sum of money to complete her spouse's manuscript. Didi accepts the offer only to watch people near her being killed. Not wanting to become the next victim, Didi begins her own investigation. The long running Dr. Nightingale series continues its lighthearted, fun approach to reading due to an assortment of eccentric, hilarious secondary characters. DR. NIGHTINGALE SEEKS GREENER PASTURES is an enjoyable one-sitting read that holds the audience spellbound with its unexpected humor that fits comfortably inside a well-designed story line. Lydia Adamson has the ability to create an amateur sleuth novel that simultaneously appears lighthearted yet puzzling. Harriet Klausner
