My Review:

This author continues to make the best stories for suspense and the dogs in them. Chloe, quite possibly, stole the show for me for this book. The bond between our animals and us is an amazing thing. It's so lovingly written here. I like the suspense and mystery; it's a steady, fast pace, and faith is never forgotten. It's not pushy, it just is included like it is in real life. Stephanie was also easy to understand and the whole book is just a fantastic read.

More from Dana

My life has gone to the dogs! No joke! While readers enjoy the Wolfe family humans, I hear on the regular that their favorite characters are the bloodhounds. In book #1, Wally was just an irrepressible disaster, and he continues his naughty ways throughout the series. In book #2, we met Pinkerton who is a model canine, unless squirrels enter the picture. And now, you’ll get to know Chloe who is fabulous, but I will venture to say she is going to be outshined by her mutt companion Brutus (you’ll have to read the book to discover his real name and identity!) As this book launches, I’m deep into writing the last two and there are a couple more unpredictable hounds you have yet to meet. Such fun! Thanks for galloping along with me on this series!
