Publisher's Summary
This "hugely entertaining, riveting page-turner" (Louise Penny) follows the complicated relationship between mother and daughter as they face off in the Olympics—and into a ride they can barely control.
Maggie Atwood and Becky McCabe, mother and daughter, both champion riders, vowed to never, ever, go up against one another.
Until the tense, harrowing competitions leading to the Paris Olympics.
Mother and daughter share a dream: to be the best horsewoman in the world.
Coronado is Maggie’s horse. An absolutely top-tier Belgian warmblood. Sky is Becky’s horse. A small, speedy Dutch warmblood.
Only James Patterson could bring you such breakneck speed, hair-raising thrills and spills.
Only hall of fame sportswriter Mike Lupica could make it all so real.
What the critics say
“Patterson and Lupica manage to get deep into the world of high-level show jumping and also, incredibly for two men, deep into the lives of three generations of strong women. I don’t know what’s more compelling - the white-knuckle descriptions of the horse shows in the lead-up to the Olympics or the tense, complex relationships among the three women. We grow to care deeply about these horsewomen. This is a hugely entertaining, riveting, page-turner of a book. A thrilling and thoughtful read.” (Louise Penny, number one New York Times best-selling author of the Chief Inspector Gamache series)
“The Horsewoman is more than a thriller - it’s an eye-opening ride through the high-stakes world of equestrian show-jumping. Patterson and Lupica make a great team, writing at a full gallop and with faultless timing of the lives of three fearless women connected by blood, competition, and a passion for fast horses.” (Carl Hiaasen, best-selling author of Squeeze Me)

For Equine enthusiast maybe?
Not what I expect from JP. Would probably make a decent movie script for Hallmark channel. So many short chapters! Weak storyline and might only appeal to horse enthusiasts.

Good story, grating narration
I enjoyed this story a lot, but ended up getting the novel instead. The narration was robotic and unpleasant, and I really couldn’t get into it. Wish I could return it, I only listened to about 4 minutes.

Still enjoyable, but a bit weak
This was still an enjoyable light horse book, but I had hoped for a little more plot and skill considering who the writer is. It was well narrated though and I enjoyed the characterization

Remarkably bad!!!!
I am starting to think that Patterson would share his name with anyone, regardless of the quality of the book. This book was simply awful…..was not at all researched, had SO MANY things about horses and show jumping completely wrong. The whole plot was ludicrous. At the very least, if they were too lazy to research the show jumping world, they should have had a horse person edit the book……nope. For the record, within the first half hour the main character refers to her female horse as a”colt”. Anyone with even a passing interest in horses knows a colt is a male foal…..and the errors continue from there
I was SO hoping for a book that would transport me into the show jumping world with some accuracy and perhaps a believable and even mildly plausible story line……not even close. Might be the worst book in history

Directed towards equine enthusiasts but not active equestrians
Good book for a reader who knows nothing about equestrian or show jumping. Disappointed in the lack of equestrian knowledge, but great for a horse enthusiast.

Very Disappointing!
With a name like 'Patterson' behind a book you'd at least expect there to be a good plot with the proper cadence of excitement, suspense and relief. The reader won't find that in this book. Combine that with the mind numbing repetition of 'he said' 'she said' and it fast becomes a struggle to finish. I'll be asking for my money back on this one!
