Goodreads review by Julie on October 14, 2019

When a fellow deputy's girlfriend disappears, Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner, Robo, are on the case. Turns out, it's a lot more complicated and dangerous than a missing person's case.... I love this series. The characters are engaging. The setting in Colorado is perfect. I like Mizushima's writing s......more

Goodreads review by Carol on March 05, 2024

A cop and her canine partner track down the killer of a colleague’s girlfriend. Deputy Mattie Cobb has already proved that she and Robo, her K-9 partner are a team to be commended. Actually, Robo is more efficient that some humans I've met:) Noone was surprised that when Chief Deputy Ken Brody’s gir......more

Goodreads review by Alex on March 09, 2021

(Cole) began to wish he’d asked Tess to ride along and make this call with him. He couldn’t predict how Carmen would react, especially after she’d made a pass at him. It seemed silly, but a veterinarian became vulnerable when working alone on house calls without a witness… Set in the Rocky Mountain H......more

Goodreads review by Cynthia on November 15, 2021

I’ve gone out of order again with this wonderful series by Margaret Mizushima, but I’m happy to report that it hasn’t interfered with my enjoyment of either book I’ve read by her so far.

Quotes

“In her second absorbing K-9 mystery, Margaret Mizushima delivers tight storytelling and gripping suspense in a fully realized rural Colorado world populated by emotionally burdened sheriff’s detective Mattie Cobb and her indomitable working canine, Robo.” Scott Graham, National Outdoor Book Award–winning author of Yellowstone Standoff

“Realistic characters and believable plot twists distinguish Mizushima’s brisk sequel to 2015’s Killing Trail…Robo proves his mettle as a well-trained detective and a brave hero in this incisive look at small-town police work.” Publishers Weekly

“Mizushima’s sophomore outing proves that her acclaimed series debut, Killing Trail, was no fluke. Carefully crafted tension is reinforced by the ominous weather hanging over the mountains. A strong sense of place will appeal to Ben Rehder fans; dog lovers will want to read this thriller as well.” Library Journal

“The unlikely mix of Mattie’s intense psychological drama with the series’ signature elements—watching Robo work a case and reveling in the author’s vivid descriptions of the outdoors—gel surprisingly well here, producing a taut page-turner on multiple levels.” Booklist

“A K-9 cop and her canine partner track down the killer of a colleague’s girlfriend in a case that hits close to home…Equally packed with mystery and plot development for the series characters, Mizushima’s second is heavy in animal interest.” Kirkus Reviews
