My Review
This is another action packed novel from Mentink. The suspense just kept coming. The characters are developed well as Mentink includes lots of their troubled thoughts and deliberations. I liked Garrett, the hero, but I had trouble with Catherine. After all she had been through, she seemed quite naive, impulsive and foolish. Her contrasting actions almost gave me emotional whip lash. I would have liked a character a little more settled. Pinkerton, the dog, was a faithful aid to the hero.
There was a surprised twist at the end. We had hints of the outcome but I was still caught not expecting it. A good faith message is included in this novel and the romance is subtle and well done. It is a good novel for lovers of suspense.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
You can read my review of the first book in the series, Tracking the Truth.

More from Dana
After dreaming up Wally, the supremely naughty bloodhound, in book one of the Security Hounds series, I didn’t think the next fictional dog could possibly compete in the personality department. Surprise! Pinkerton, the stalwart bloodhound companion to Garrett Wolfe, scrambled onto the scene and into my heart. His faithful dedication and selflessness make up for the streams of slobber he leaves everywhere. He’s also instrumental in solving the latest case complete with twists, turns, and an ending you won’t see coming. (I hope!)
Enjoy this next installment in the series and look out for more bloodhounds in the next three books!
