This "hugely entertaining, riveting page-turner" (Louise Penny) follows the complicated relationship between mother and daughter as they face off in the Olympics—and into a ride they can barely control. Maggie Atwood and Becky McCabe, mother and daughter, both champion riders, vowed to never, ever, go up against one another. Until the tense, harrowing competitions leading to the Paris Olympics. Mother and daughter share a dream: to be the best horsewoman in the world. Coronado is Maggie’s horse. An absolutely top-tier Belgian warmblood. Sky is Becky’s horse. A small, speedy Dutch warmblood. Only James Patterson could bring you such breakneck speed, hair-raising thrills and spills. Only hall of fame sportswriter Mike Lupica could make it all so real.

"Why couldn’t I connect with these characters 😩?! I never even fully felt their connection with each other. It wasn’t a bad read (got slow at times) but I struggled caring about what happened. I get the world of competitive sports, but the harsh relationship between the women in this family made them hard to like. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75"

"Engaging and gripping. I couldn't put it down"

"This was a great read. While they were riding in competitions, you felt like you were riding with them."

"The Horsewoman by James Patterson is good. Pretty predictable, but a good story and a quick read. Maggie and her mother Becky are both at the top of the show jumping world, vying for a spot in the Paris Olympics. Then an accident changes the whole game. There’s a little romance. A lot of family dynamics. You don’t have to be a horse person to like the story- I really don’t know anything at all about show jumping and followed along just fine!"
