Calculated Poison

By: Bancroft, J.

In the small town of Pale Creek, Ohio, veterinarian Ivy Ashcroft is good at two things: caring for the animals in her practice, and noticing what doesn't fit.

When Ray Colton brings in his quarter horse Able on a cold October morning, Ivy can't name what's wrong. The bloodwork is stranger still. And the treatment that should have worked by Friday doesn't.
What Ivy suspects - but isn't yet ready to say out loud - is that Able wasn't just sick. He was made sick. Deliberately. And Ray's farm isn't the only one.

Because silence, as it turns out, isn't the same thing as peace.

Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Ann Cleeves, and Louise Penny. Ivy Ashcroft returns in Book Two: Calculated Silence.
