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.

Critics Review

  • 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
