Wow! I really paid attention when Amazon.com recommended a mystery series that involves dogs. In this case a woman named Maddie and her K-9 in a town in Colorado who has a crush on a veterinarian. What a fantastic series: "Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries" by Margaret Mizushima. I just finished "Stalking Ground" about a woman who is found murdered in the hills of Colorado and the strange connections to her. I can't wait to read the rest in the series. Five out of Five stars! - Rob
ABOUT THE BOOK: When Deputy Ken Brody's sweetheart goes missing in the mountains outside Timber Creek, Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner Robo are called to search. But it's mid-October and a dark snow storm is brewing over the high country. And they're already too late. By the time they find her body, the storm has broken and the snow is coming down hard.
While Brody hikes down to bring back the forensics team and veterinarian Cole Walker gathers supplies to protect them from the storm, Mattie and Robo find themselves alone, guarding the gravesite overnight in the dead of the early winter. And that's only the first long, dark night in a series of them, because as their investigation develops, Mattie, Robo, Brody, and Cole find themselves in the middle of the killer's stalking ground--where the hunters have just become the hunted.
An effortlessly engrossing read filled with tension, excitement, and heart, Stalking Ground, the second in Margaret Mizushima's lauded debut series, will send a chill down every reader's spine.
