About this listen

When a young girl is found dead in the mountains outside Timber Creek, lifelong resident Officer Mattie Cobb and her partner, K-9 police dog Robo, are assigned to the case that has rocked the small Colorado town.

With the help of Cole Walker, a local veterinarian and single father, Mattie and Robo must track down the truth before it claims another victim. But the more Mattie investigates, the more she realizes how many secrets her town holds. And the key may be Cole's daughter, who knows more than she's saying. The murder was just the beginning, and if Mattie isn't careful, she and Robo could be next.

Suspenseful and smart, Killing Trail is an explosive debut that will have listeners clamoring for more Mattie and Robo for years to come.

fantastic story

Worked for me, despite only average narration, and Denver/eastern Rockies small town setting familiar and well rendered.
German shepherd Robo, as tracker-dog for deputy sheriff Mattie, is a credible character, not over-done, and with minimal anthropomorphism. A competent mystery plot with a great small-town America backcloth, enhanced by the veterinary and canine elements.
Trying to avoid a plot-spoiler, but I have to mention how Robo leading Mattie out of a 'couldn't see a hand in front of your face' situation really resonated with me, having been 'rescued' by Monty, my labrador/springer spaniel cross, from benightment in Australian tropical rainforest.
Suspect that the series may eventually become formulaic, but for now I am hooked, already almost finished book 2!

veterinary and canine slant on police procedural!
