Full list of C.S. McDonald reviews below.
Synopsis - Fiona is in total shock when her mother arrives unannounced on her doorstep. What’s going on? Why, she’s left Fiona’s father, that’s what. Yikes! Worse, a horse trainer is murdered outside his ex-wife’s home in Pittsburgh, and the trail leads directly to a Thoroughbred racetrack in the neighboring state of West Virginia. Get ready, because the suspects are mounting up and heading down the stretch. Whoa!
Fiona and Detective Landry aren’t horsing around with this homicide!
Review -
Author C.S. McDonald's Fiona Quinn mystery series is full of cozy mystery stories that, while there is still murder and mayhem, are written with a light touch along with a dab of humor. They can be enjoyed by both YA readers ready for more, and adult readers looking for a easy read to escape into at the end of a long day. I have now read and enjoyed every single one to date.
Saddle Up for Murder contains the all fun elements that are a foundation in this series - a odd neighbor who considers herself a psychic, Fiona's ability to fall into truly strange situations, her family full of characters and Nathan, her fiancé and a detective who she often assists. Then there is a serious side - a murder to solve. This time we head to horse racing track. One of the horse owners has been shot and the answer lies somewhere behind the scenes in the turmoil, conflict and financial wheeling and dealing of horse racing.
When a second murder happens, the ante is upped. Fiona and Nathan struggle to follows the bread crumbs to uncover the corruption that drove these murders. Then Fiona finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. The threat is real. Will Nathan find her in time?

For twenty-six years C.S. McDonald’s life whirled around a song and a dance. Classically trained at Pittsburgh Ballet Theater School, The Pittsburgh Dance Alloy, and many others, she became a professional dancer and choreographer. During that time, she choreographed many musicals and an opera for the Pittsburgh Savoyards. In 2011 she retired from her dance career to write. Under her real name, Cindy McDonald, she writes murder-suspense and romantic suspense novels. In 2014 she added the pen name, C.S. McDonald, to write children’s books for her grandchildren. In 2016 she added the Fiona Quinn Mysteries to that expansion. She decided to write the cozy mystery series that everyone, including teens and tweens, can read and enjoy. Presently, the Fiona Quinn Mysteries includes nine books with a tenth slated for 2021. The books are also available on audio, narrated by Maren Swenson Waxenberg.
Cindy’s newest venture is The Owl’s Nest Mysteries. Once again, she has set her cozy mystery in Pittsburgh and the female protagonist, Alexa Owl, is much different from Fiona Quinn. The Owl’s Nest Mysteries has a little grit, a little time travel, a little romance, and a whole lot of cozy!
Ms. McDonald resides on her Thoroughbred farm known as Fly by Night Stables near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Bill, and her poorly behaved Cocker Spaniel, Allister.
