Honestly, I was really confused reading the blurb for this book. It seemed like it was about police investigating, but their informant is a horse? I was just very confused. When I read the first look, it did rope my in right away with two boys finding a corpse right away. However, once Mike came into the story, I got confused again. The blurb and the first look were very confusing to me, and I think it would be difficult to understand as I kept reading.
