Good story with likeable characters and a smart heroine. Just a little predictable or unsophisticated for me…
This was a great start for a new series and this new crime fighter and, her four legged crime – fighting partner. It started a little slow but made up for it toward the end when Erin and Rolf get into a gunfight with a most unlikely person which starts of series of things to happen, See for yourself.
Easy read. Fun with a little twist. Not enough of the dog. But still good
Enjoyable and a relaxing read; not a “nail biter” type mystery.
enjoyable, but unmemorable
Didn’t dislike this book, but didn’t love it either.
Story ok, but characters & execution not so great
Too slow to start. Gave up 15% in.
Three and a half stars
It was an okay book. An easy read, characters were okay. Some parts were predictable. Bought it mainly because it was about a k-9 handler. Not sure NYPD would work the way it went in the book.
I thought the book would be more about the dog than the female police officer. I grew tired of her and didn’t get enough action with the dog.
