The Blue Horse by Bruce Borgos


Borgos writes an excellent book. I find books that engage my emotions are my favorites. Books that engage my emotions and stimulate my intellect are tops. Add to those features action and pathos and you have a winner! Borgos does all of that and more with this book.

A setting in the Covid crisis is something that resonates with all of us. Everyone was impacted by that plague. Add to the setting the controversial round up of wild horses and environmental impact issues beyond that of rancher rancor and you have a county sheriff on edge. Porter Beck is struggling with decreased sight and facing major life changes in his professional career as well.

Brinley and Mercy both figure in the plot if you have read the two prior books, their presence will be well received.

Borgos shows how effective leading by example, seeing pain in others and tackling that pain in the face of daunting odds makes utterly compelling reading. If you love a book that brings you to tears, that ramps up your empathy, that endears you to the characters, that compels you to read well beyond bedtime, you must read this book.
