Book Reviews and Valentine's Day!


Yes, the Meg Sheppard Mystery Series are cozies, but that's not all they are!

One of my readers, William Bell, says it best:

"Over Frank's Body is much more than a mystery ... it's also a treatise on love. While I found myself trying to sift through the clues along with my new favourite, albeit somewhat reluctant sleuth Meg, to connect the dots and solve the crime, I also realized that I was witnessing the disturbingly wide scope of love's power. Ms. Earle skillfully reveals Meg Sheppard to us in ways that makes the reader share in the main character's emotional journey - sad, angry, and tortured at one moment, and then hopeful, grateful and even blissful the next. Love is perhaps life's greatest mystery and this book is a reminder as to why."

Another reader, Jennifer Morrison (Four-time Sovereign Award Winner, Freelance Horse-racing Writer, Handicapper and Ajax Downs Commentator) alludes to one aspect of the underlying love story (there is more in the book!) in her recent review of What Happened to Frank?:

"From Canadian writer Vicky Earle comes the first book of the Meg Sheppard Mystery series, where we meet the strong yet vulnerable Meg Sheppard on the one-year anniversary of her husband Frank's sudden and perplexing death in a car accident. She has been left her beloved farm, horses and of course her dog but now, a year later, has summoned up the courage to find out what let to Frank's untimely death.
Intertwining family history from England with plenty of friends and acquaintances from home, Meg begins with Frank's work in racing, in particular, his pledge to rid the horse racing industry of a new anti-inflammatory drug. In her pursuit of truth Meg finds many more questions than answers at first, did Frank really love her? Did he stage his own death? If he didn't, who killed him?
The book will take you on exciting twists that will keep you guessing!"

And in Pointed Attacks, the third in the series, you won't be disappointed! Without giving the story away, Meg learns a secret that has a profound affect on her personal life. This secret, as well as her relationship with her partner, are intertwined with the mystery Meg sets out to solve: the death of racehorse trainer Grayson. The members of a syndicate, who owned five horses trained by Grayson, are all under suspicion. But the list of suspects grows as Meg learns more about the horses' unexpected poor health and disappointing performances. Meg is under pressure to put a stop to both people and animals being hurt.
