 Trotting into Trouble by Amber Camp is the second book of A Horse Rescue Mystery, but it can be as a standalone; however, there are spoilers for what happened in book one. 

This murder mystery follows Mallory, who runs a horse rescue in their small town and has a propensity for getting involved in murder cases. This murder mystery was a cozy story that gave me the "Murder She Wrote" vibes I was looking for! Mallory is brought to catch a runaway horse and finds a dead body in the process. Mallory sensed that there was more to the story than beings poking around the murder for clues and found herself smacked down in the middle. 

I enjoyed Amber Camp's storytelling abilities, which worked on previous issues efficiently without feeling like I missed too much information. I loved the setting, the nosy guard donkey, and the characters. However, Mallory, the horse rescue's main character and owner, got on my nerves. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and recommend picking up Trotting into Trouble for yourself!
