Search and Detect, Mountain Country K-9 Unit #8 by Terri Reed


Book description:

 A bomber with a deadly agenda…

and a K-9 team determined to catch him.

When single mother Zoe Jenkins and her baby are caught in an explosion that destroys her home, she’s saved by FBI special agent Chase Rawlston and his K-9, Dash. But who set the bomb? Fearing that the notorious Rocky Mountain Killer he’s been investigating has the mother and daughter in his sights, Chase takes them under his protection. But can he uncover the killer’s identity before more innocent lives are caught in the crossfire?

My review:
   
I love these K-9 series from Love Inspired Suspense. If you are not familiar with them, each book is written by a different author. There is a plot/mystery running through the whole series, but each book has its own mystery and romance.

 These series intrigue me, because the same team of people appear in each book, so the authors have to know what is going on in the other authors' books. And this is the book where all was revealed. (There is one more book, but it is a Christmas one with two stories and takes place after the big mystery has been solved).

 Reed is one of my favorite Love Inspired Suspense authors, and she did a great job on this book where the series long mystery is finally solved. And it has been a long time coming. The first book, Baby Protection Mission, came out in March. 

This book features the leader of the task force, Chase, and his K-9 companion Dash. I loved the book and the characters - new and old - and the new and old mystery as Chase did his best to protect Zoe and her daughter while also trying to bring the Rocky Mountain Killer to justice. 

A lot happened in this little mass market book, and I didn't want to put it down until I finished it. It was an awesome read, and I loved everything about it. Especially finding the identity of the killer after so many books, and seeing him brought to justice. 

Special thanks to the author for an advance copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
