If you have a moment, please check out Horse Nation’s review of “Commander Speaks.” I wrote this book to shine a light on two of the biggest problems in our sport – predatory behavior and horse abuse. All proceeds go to Type 1 Diabetes research. Marketing is the hardest part of writing a book, so please excuse or at least understand this shameless promotional post.
"Jody Jaffe’s latest mystery, Commander Speaks, is a compelling, twisty page-turner that keeps readers hooked and wanting to know what happens next! While Jaffe is best-known for her Natalie Gold mystery series, Commander Speaks features a different cast of characters. Commander Speaks isn’t a light, fluffy horse-themed mystery, either. There’s grit and the tale touches on real issues in equestrian sports, most notably predatory behavior from trainers and drugging. In the author’s note at the end of the book, Jaffe explains she wrote this book because she believes, and as a former journalist herself, was taught early, that sunlight, exposing wrongdoing, is the best disinfectant…If you’re looking for what might be one of the best equine-themed mysteries written by someone not named Dick Francis, a mystery that touches on very real issues in equestrian sports, you’ll want to read this.”
And from The Equiery:
"Even though this is a murder mystery with an unsettling topic, the book is humorous and engaging, but somber when it needs to be. Jaffe calls out the hypocrisy of the horse world that pretends to love horses but goes to obscene lengths to get the desired results.” — The Equiery. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRPMHJSY
