Critic reviews

"Kava expertly weaves a complicated yet gripping thriller. Nothing is as simple as it seems.” —The Criminal Element

Good plot

Liked the way two different investigations from different parts of the country came together. The details about the search dogs and the way they work are great.

love the story line

some of the repitition gets old we know who people are by now. Not necessary to repeat things

I love the Maggie and Creed relationship and storyline.

The performance could be done with more feeling. It was a bit to monotone.

Excellent Dog/Human Mystery Series…

…if you haven’t listened to this series and you love dogs you should give it a try!!

I was so happy to see this addition. This story has a couple of moving pieces. It begins with a family stopping to help someone by the side of the road. Then things go wrong. You don’t find out what exactly happened until almost the end of the book.

Jump ahead a few years and there’s a serial killer in Washington DC. He’s killing indigent people living on the streets. He hits an informant in the head with a hammer. He then shoots a local police woman. Maggie O’Dell of the FBI feels like she’s to blame. She got them both involved in her case.

Down in Florida her boyfriend Ryder Creed is searching with his dogs for a missing child. Creed has gotten involved with a homeless man and has been trying to help him. This new found friendship and Creed’s trustworthiness with prove to be important.

Joshua Mackey does a fantastic job narrating.
This book has my Very HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!
