The Lady Said No is an engaging mystery centered around The Kentucky Derby. A horse trainer is found dead. Was it suicide when he had a winning horse? Was it murder? Much is at stake. A good read overall. Mystery fans will enjoy. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book! It is a well written story with a 1940s era detective charm.
Its a well written and easy to read whodunit with a romantic undercurrent.

What a great introduction to a new to me author. The Lady Said No is a great murder mystery with realistic characters and an engaging storyline. This is definitely a promising start to this series and I will be looking to read more.
Augustus Grant is a wonderful change from the rough and tough detective. He is still handsome and smart, but has a few endearing characters as well that make him even more irresistible. Although the killer tried to make it look like a suicide, a famous horse breeder has been murdered. Gus is on the case and notices subtle nuances that others might miss. He is surprised to find that his former lover, Rebecca Hayes, is employed in the home of the victim. Then he is shocked to learn that Rebecca has a young daughter…could she be his? Working the case and trying to make things right with Rebecca will take all of Gus’s mental and emotional ability. There are many twists and turns in this mystery that will keep you guessing. A delightful mystery from one of my favorite authors, Jacquie Biggar! I had purchased this book and also received a free copy and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
