"Girls and Their Horses" by Eliza Jane Brazier offers a captivating narrative that delves into the intertwined worlds of affluent young women and the equestrian scene. With its multiple-split narrative, the story immerses readers into the complexities of this elite society, where money holds sway and horses are prized possessions.

The novel vividly portrays how wealth shapes the horse world, dictating social status and revealing the deep connections between individuals and their equine companions. Against this backdrop, secrets abound, and the narrative skillfully explores the intersection of privilege, power, and intrigue.

Reading "Girls and Their Horses" felt like watching a gripping mystery thriller unfold on screen. With echoes of beloved equestrian tales like "The Saddle Club," this book offers a darker, more nuanced take on the genre. The central mystery of the story—unraveling the identity of the deceased—kept me engrossed from start to finish, as I eagerly speculated about the culprit in this unfamiliar world of wealth and privilege.
