About this listen

After gunshots echo through the summer night on Mount Macedon, Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer and her loyal service dog Harry race to the summit at first light. What they find looks like a grisly murder-suicide: an alleged fraudster named Piers Johnson, and his lawyer Antony Peterson, both dead from bullet wounds, a gun lying nearby.

Something about the scene doesn't stack up. There are plenty of suspects, but no one seems to be telling the truth. Zoe's instincts are ignited, as the pressure to find and charge the culprit becomes intense. And that's when Peterson's teenage daughter Sarah is snatched off the street.

The Good Dog is Zoe's toughest assignment yet, a murderous conspiracy of greed, deceit and violence. She knows that Harry may be her only chance to crack the case.

The story was well told and took the reader along to follow the clues to a logical conclusion. Narrator was good with the exception of mispronouncing the town of Kyneton as “Ky-net-ton”. It became quite a distraction when the error was repeated several times towards the end of the book. Attention to these details makes it more enjoyable to the listener.

This novel series was a pleasant listen, showing from the first novel to now that Zoe is flawed, but we can relate to her on many different levels, and despite the prejudice she faces for being a detective with a service dog, Harry has helped in many ways. When I hear the memorable names of Auzzie places it warms my heart.
