Vegan Chickadee: As a lover of dogs and crime stories, I can highly recommend this book. The characters were very realistic and the plot was new and different. Very fast-paced, and I was sorry to see it end. The connections to the Civil War were well-done. If you love an exciting crime novel, this is for you. I'm on to the next in the series.

Lisa M: A much better book than the previous one. I still am a bit thrown off by the historical excerpts at the beginning of each chapter. They are interesting but tend to pull me out of the story.

Jeanie D: I love this series so far! The suspense begins from the first chapter and builds throughout the novel. I enjoy learning more about working K-9's, in this case, several FBI agents and their K-9 partners. I also enjoy reading about codes and ciphers, even though I don't have the genius to figure them out as Meg's sister, Cara, can. The characters are complex and the mystery intriguing, especially as Meg is forced to choose between FBI standards and using an alternate code translator to find the abducted people before it is too late.
Special Agent Meg Jennings and her partner, Hawk, go with the team to find a woman who was abducted and a note, addressed to Meg, was attached to the woman's service dog with a riddle of where to find her. It isn't a standard note; it is written in cipher and the location is not readily apparent as it makes references to a local historical place, and it is up to the FBI to translate the note and determine the location referred to before the team can look for the woman.
The first woman is found already dead, the second barely clinging to life and in a coma. It is frustrating to Meg to not be able to locate those abducted on time, and she...

Tamara H.: Love this author! a great read. grabs you early, kept me engaged. Being a dog-trainer myself I love that a "main character" is a working dog. And kudos to the author (a trainer themselves I understand) for authentically sharing the role of a working dog in an entertaining way!

Kathy: Ms. Driscoll had me feeling so very connected to the protagonist and all of the characters. Great timing on putting the FBI in a positive light. Her story kept me reading until I had to force myself to put the book down! The K-9 bonding made me realize how amazing dogs can be. Great read!
