Scent of Truth + Giveaway

An innocent suspect. A look-alike killer.

Can a K-9 team crack this case?

After Officer Colt Maxwell and his K-9 partner, Sampson, discover a body, all signs point to Brooke Stevens as the murderer. But Colt suspects someone’s framing the park ranger — and that the killer looks exactly like her. When the imposter turns her sights on Brooke, it’s up to Colt to guard her. But can they track down the truth…before innocent Brooke loses her life?

Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit

My Review:

This second book in the multi-authored Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit continuity series is full of intrigue and danger — and romance (of course!) Love that these books come out every month and especially that they are available in audio format. I have them all preordered and have to admit that this one was ‘read’ in a day since Colt and Brooke kept me company in the garden while I cleaned up and planted peas and beans. Multi-tasking at it’s finest. 🙂

Oh — and, in case you are wondering, these books can be read out of order. Each novel has it’s own unique suspense which is solved as well as a romance that ends in a happily ever after, but there is also an over-arcing suspense thread that gradually builds with each book and won’t be solved until the last story.

I’ve never personally known a bloodhound, but, if they are all like Sampson, I can see I’ve been missing out. Love the bond Colt has with his K-9 and the heart-to-hearts they share. Brings great insight into the characters of both man and beast. And Brooke is a popular topic of ‘conversation.’

Murder and mayhem have unexpectedly become the norm for Brooke as she strives to prove she’s a victim not a suspect. But, oh, it’s so complicated and twisty-turny! Luckily it doesn’t take long to convince Colt of her innocence…right about the time the attempts on her life ramp up. Great pacing and a measured approach to the romance kept me riveted right to the very last word.

  1. Would love to read this one too. The connection between dogs and their owners can be something worth having. I had it once and the loyalty of my dog towards me was beautiful. Had to let him go and it was hard. So I understand these stories well.

    1. I’ve had dogs all my adult life until a few years ago when my old Simba died. Now I live vicariously through these kinds of stories. I would love to have another dog again but not sure that will ever happen so I happily get my ‘warm fuzzies’ through fiction. Good luck, Becky!

  2. Sounds good…I am not a dog lover by any stretch of the imagination, but I do enjoy these kind of books when dogs are used by police or military

    1. I love a K-9 angle in a suspense novel! Especially when the dog/handler relationship is well-written. Have discovered some new series which highlight some fascinating details on the training and work these dogs do. Good luck, Mark.

  3. Love all dogs and the Pacific Northwest setting is always a nice reminder of family that lives in that area.

    Sounds like a great story too.
