This is the third in the Thea Camp­bell Mys­tery series, but one I espe­cial­ly like.

As one review said, “OK, I was already a fan, so I bought An Error in Judg­ment expect­ing an enter­tain­ing read. I already knew and liked the char­ac­ters and I knew Schrey­er deliv­ered a well craft­ed, well plot­ted mys­tery with lots of twists and turns. No sur­prise that An Error in Judg­ment deliv­ers all of that. What blew me away and made this a must read book is that with this third offer­ing in the Thea Camp­bell series Schrey­er deft­ly moves from tra­di­tion­al mys­tery to roman­tic thriller and blows the doors off the genre while keep­ing her sto­ry real with gen­tly comedic and com­plete­ly real­isic moments between her lead char­ac­ters.”

I summed it up this way. “Mys­tery writ­ing and show­ing hors­es have a lot to do with pac­ing, and this mys­tery with Thea com­bines her busi­ness, her horse Black­ie, her boyfriend Paul, and mur­der with unmatched pac­ing. There are moments of ter­ror, moments of ten­der­ness, moments of doubt, and moments of fulfillment—all com­bined to keep the read­er eager­ly turn­ing the pages.”

Is it pos­si­ble to have a favorite book in a series? Yes, it is. And one read­er’s favorite may not be every­one’s favorite, just as no one book or type of book appeals to every read­er. I say, “Thank good­ness for that!”
