A couple of the characters were a little cartoonish in their badness. There were some strained transitions as we learned about the events from another character's point of view. The new chapter isn't in first person as the rest of the book is instead it moves to an omniscient narrator. I found this awkward and it took me out of the story while I adjusted. I'd have liked a little more about the riding. Good mystery. ( ) Disclosure: I received a free copy of Silent Harmony by Michele Scott from Amazon Publishing, via GoodReads First Reads. The mystery element of this novel is not actually very strong; most of it concerns whether there even was a mystery to solve, rather than the actual "whodunnit," except for the very end of the story, where events take a racing and unrealistic turn. The majority of the characters are stereotypes for YA fiction (ie, snobby rich kids), and the alternating perspectives are distracting because some are told in first person and others in third person. Main character Vivienne's way of connecting to horses somewhat telepathically is a unique and touching element. Although the writing is not outstanding, it is a fun book to read and will appeal not only to horse lovers but to teens interested in reading mystery for the first time. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"Small town seventeen-year-old Vivienne Taylor is a talented equestrian with Olympic dreams and a little something extra going on--she is also an "equine empath," someone who has the ability to read horses' minds and moods. When she receives a full scholarship to attend Fairmont Riding Academy, a prep school with a famous riding program, she struggles with homesickness, hazing by the school's snooty drama queen, intense competition in the sport of three-day-eventing, and the not-altogether-unwelcome interest of a hot guy. On top of all of that the horse given to Vivienne via the scholarship is an animal that she cannot "read" or understand. When Vivienne learns that her new horse Harmony belonged to the school's vet, who recently died in a freak accident, she senses that the horse's aloof behavior may be the result of her witnessing this accident. But as a connection begins to unfold between Vivienne and Harmony, Vivienne begins to believe that the vet's death was no accident at all--but rather murder--and she resolves, at considerable peril, to track down the killer"--P.
