How Is a Missing Military Working Dog Related to Two Local Fires?
Air Force veteran Dr. Lane Bishop and Nora Hernandez’s romance has cooled. He is busy working as a researcher at the vet school, and she’s busy with her restaurant and opening an antique shop. What Lane hasn’t told her is his PTSD, which manifests mostly with nightmares, makes him believe he’s damaged goods. But that is about to change when he meets a stray pup that acts a lot like a military working dog. When a tornado hits Brenham, there is damage in the downtown area and a fire is ignited in Nora’s new store. A Belgian Malinois dog is seen at the fire and later Lane sees him at a wedding venue where an explosion occurs. Not long after, a second explosion rocks Brenham and sends Nora and Lane on a hunt for the person responsible. Will the pair find the guilty party before more damage is done to the city’s landmarks? And will Lane find the words to tell Nora how much he loves her before it’s too late?
My review:
Though this is the sixth book in a series, this is the first one I have read. I don't like dogs, but this one appealed to me because of him helping with PTSD. And it was cool how much Pal helped Lane with his PTSD.
I did thoroughly enjoy the book. I loved the characters, even the dog. Lane and Nora were great main characters, and you had to admire her for sticking with him in spite of all his flaws. And you had to feel bad for him for the secret he was carrying.
The author did a great job of keeping me guessing who the bad guy was. I was both right and wrong.
This may be what they refer to as a cozy mystery. There were no chases, people shooting, threats, etc that are usually found in mystery and suspense. But that didn't make the book any less enjoyable. After I finished reading it, I immediately started looking at the rest of the series on Amazon.
I believe this is the first book I have read by this author, and I plan on reading more. Especially in this series.
Special thanks to the publisher for an advance e-copy of this book. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
