Togetherness Works Wonders

I struggled to keep reading. Too much of the same scene until a little past the middle. When I got past that I enjoyed it. Good narritar. I liked that the dog was mentioned a lot throughout the book. I guess that's my thing.

Love this series

Love the dog's involvement throughout this series. Well trained dogs with great training. Can't wait for the next one.

I Loved This Story and its Canine.

I loved this story. I t ended too soon but I hope to catch up with the characters in this story again in a future book. Thank you so much.. In the midst of starting to read canine and partner's I fell and broke my hip. I was left with time to read these stories. got to find the red rose killer before I completely heal.

Great book like the others

Loved it hard to put down. read it you won't regret it.
Give it a try

Narrated

The male voice was not effective
Rest was good, except for the heroine constantly saying I can take care of myself and continually not

Ridiculous

The author made no effort to tell a coherent story. An FBI SA and AF corpsman(?) are trying to mold a juvenile mutual affection while chasing an escapee and accomplice. The girl K9 handler keeps losing her gun or not using it. FBI dude keeps fainting. They both are obviously trying not to catch the escapee.
I was grabbed by the first sentence as I did engineering work on H-60G rotary wing AC in 1990 for SAR and SOF applications. With NVGs and FLIR and other IR visualisation, no mammal can hide from your helicopter at night. I also camped in the TX hillcountry about 100 times, there are a few canyon walls where someone could briefly hide but 4-6 searchers could easily find everyone in the small search area they describe within a few hours. So the author is making it clear that our protagonists are incompetent and excusing them because they are lovelorn or grieving and clearly have subnormal intelligence to start with. So they are made for eachother. As usual, the dog is smarter than either.

I don’t get the relationship angst

Kind of annoying usual relationship angst. “Your job is more important than me. I need to be distant because I can’t risk my heart breaking and losing you. I’m dangerous; you won’t be safe around me…”

Book number 5 is just as bad as book number 4

This is another author that paints the characters as too stupid to live and dumber than bricks. But I guess it's a handy way of setting up a situation where the bad guy doesn't necessarily need to be very smart to launch an attack. I love the dog theme in this book series, with a highlight on the different talents and abilities of each dog in the series, but this is another author that I'll pass on in the future.

Boring and repetitive

I don’t usually write poor reviews. This book has to be one of the worst I’ve read. The story line was drawn out with repetitive arguments between the main characters so frequently it could only be to add length to the book. I thought I could finish it but gave up after chapter 17. The narrator has excellent diction, but her voice sounds like a child. She is in the wrong profession—as is the author.
