Snowfall At Silver Run
(2026)(The first book in the Sable Jones Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Ellis Thorne
A snowstorm, a dead rider, and a town that would rather move on.
Divorced horse-rescue owner Sable Jones is just trying to get through winter at Silver Run when a difficult rider fails to return and Sable’s Labrador, Max, brings a scarf home that turns worry into dread.
The death is ruled an accident, and in a tight-knit equestrian community, few people seem inclined to question it. The victim wasn’t well liked. Her anxious nephew and heir, Simon, can’t keep his story straight. The estate manager, Malcolm, is a little too quick with spotless paperwork. And Sable’s own circle has opinions she isn’t sure she trusts.
With her towering ex-racehorse Blaze, a gruff mentor who knows horses better than people, and gossip flying faster than the snow, Sable pieces together a puzzle someone hoped would stay buried.
Because in Silver Run, accidents are convenient.
And someone made a very deliberate choice.
Can Sable follow the evidence before winter—and the killer—close in for good?
