'A great read for horse lovers and fans of show jumping' JILLY COOPER

'This is a hugely entertaining, riveting, page-turner of a book' LOUISE PENNY

Maggie Atwood and Becky McCabe - mother and daughter, both champion riders - vowed to never, ever, compete against one another.

But a dramatic turn of events ahead of the Paris Olympics changes everything.

Mother and daughter share a dream: to be the best in the world. Only one rider can fulfil that dream and make history.

'An eye-opening ride through the high-stakes world of equestrian show-jumping . . . Three fearless women connected by blood, competition, and a passion for fast horses.' CARL HIAASEN

Critic Reviews

A great read for horse lovers and fans of show jumping (Jilly Cooper, bestselling author of the Rutshire Chronicles)
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, No. 1 bestselling author of The Madness of Crowds)
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, bestselling author of Squeeze Me)
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. (LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. (MICHAEL CONNELLY)
James Patterson is the boss. End of. (IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series)
James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series)
Patterson is in a class by himself. (VANITY FAIR)

This book was truly cringeworthy! Formulaic, predictable and every cliche known was pulled out for the readers displeasure.

Truely Cringeworthy

Sooo predictable. So boring. I wrote a story as a kid about a show jumping family, this book felt like it was written by an adolescent
Don’t waste your credit

Truly lame storyline!!
