An unsolved crime. A K-9 team on the case. Unexpected danger is closing in fast…
When someone tries to run dog trainer Micah Landon off the road, Officer Lucy Lopez and her K-9 partner, Piper, show up just in time to make a rescue. Someone wants Micah dead — but why? Is this connected to Lucy’s weapons smuggling case, in which she’s investigating Micah’s younger half brother? Or was Micah attacked because he started looking into the cold case murder of his stepmother? As threats against Micah escalate and secrets are revealed, it’s clear someone will stop at nothing to keep an unsolved murder buried. Can they uncover the truth before it costs them their lives?
My Review:
Woot! Puppies galore! Not only do we have an incredible K-9 centerstage, we also have an eclectic mix of therapy/guide dogs in various stages of training courtesy of our dog trainer hero. Absolute bookish heaven for this dog loving reader.
The tense opening scene starts off a sequence of nail-biting events that leave Micah stymied and Lucy suspicious. Are they case related or something more personal? Love the balance between suspense and slow-burn romance along with a healthy dose of canine shenanigans thrown in.
Once again the Dakota K-9 team pool their resources to sort through fact from fiction. Lucy’s in the lead as she develops a special rapport with Micah but the team always has her back. This is the fourth book in this multi-authored continuity series but reads well as a standalone. The over-arcing suspense plot is beginning to take shape and I’m excited to see where new leads take the team but I also enjoyed getting full resolution to the suspense unique to this book as well as a delightful happily ever after.
I enjoyed listening to the audio edition of ‘Cold Case Peril’ narrated by Patrick Zeller. So happy to see more of the Love Inspired and Love Inspired Suspense lines available in audio format.
My thanks to Harlequin Audio and Net Galley for providing me with an audio edition of this book.

Kav's Best Reads 
Good morning! They say it’s going to finally stop raining, which only means summer will hit us with a hard punch of heat and humidity. Give it a few days and it’ll mean we will be dragging the water hose around to all the flowers and to the garden. So goes summer! While hubby can work out in the heat longer than me, I will head to the covered and shady porch with the fans all on, cool drink and a good book once the sun arises to overhead.
Ooooh, I’m “needing” a K-9 fix! Can’t go long without one of these fabulous books. 🙂 And then your review on COLD CASE PERIL has be all excited at the prospect of an amazing read. I mean K-9 AND service pooches too – how can you go wrong! Definitely sounds like a one sitting story because I know once I start reading it that I’d never be able to put it down.
Thank you for the fabulous chance to win a copy!

We’re getting the heat and humidity starting today. Heading out to my garden to do a wee bit of weeding before the heat indexes rises any more but, yay, rain in the forecast for the next few days so I won’t have to do all the watering in the heat. 🙂 Sitting in the shade with a cool drink and a good books sounds like the perfect way to wait out the heat! Good luck, Kay!
