Blood Hoax is very much a novel in the spirit of Dick Francis. Brooks gives us an insider look at a high-end horse farm but also lays out a very complex and intricate storyline with Ike Cherny as a unifying character for sub-plots. There is a confidence to the character that though the woman he loves is missing; his life and job go on. He looks for Tuleigh, following the GPS, when he can slip away. There’s a desperation in that he is practical enough to realize that the visits won’t really lead anywhere but hopeful enough to travel as far as he must to not miss any scrap that might help.

Brooks hops around quite a lot in the story line. Ike has a lot on his plate. Instead of becoming confused, Brooks manages the story so that all plot lines run simultaneously and there are no great breaks in focus. Ike must deal with KD and then he’s out to look for Tuleigh. He must deal with the scheming Pippa and then back to doing what he can do. He has a tie to the farm in Annie, a horse that he deeply loves, so the reader suspects that he will always come back.

Blood Hoax was a very solid and interesting cozy mystery. If you are a person who likes the work for Dick Francis and Nora Roberts (her romance stories that are more plot driven), you will like Blood Hoax by Patti Brooks. Pick it up and let me know what you think.
