Sick as a Dog

A Veronica Kildare K-9 Mystery, Book 3

De: Tracy Carter

Narrado por: Alyssa Baumann

Echoes of a past tragedy haunt Veronica Kildare as she and her talented search and rescue and drug detection dog, Leda, are drawn into an investigation surrounding odd fish and wildlife deaths in the Colorado wilderness by her friend, Kimana, an award-winning freelance investigative reporter. The mystery surrounding this backcountry region only deepens when Leda discovers the body of a dead woman in the area under scrutiny and the district wildlife manager is targeted in a devious attack.

While Veronica also trains a conservation canine and a 911 call center therapy dog who are desperately needed as service animals, and searches for lost hikers in peril, her entire team is soon involved in trying to uncover the identity of the murder victim and the reason for her violent death. Veronica and Leda tenaciously follow the trail of the criminals who have brutally disrupted the serenity of the Repentant River, and it eventually becomes clear that the ominous events originate from more than one source and the villains have far-reaching national and international connections. Can Veronica and her team decipher the sources of the evil that have turned the wilderness deadly in time to prevent further tragedy?

If You Love Dogs, and Mysteries, this is a Must Read!

I feel like Veronica Kildare is my friend. I enjoy her adventures and her dogs. I credit that to the writing style of the author- I feel like I'm right there alongside Veronica and Leda- on their searches, eating dinner with her ad hoc family, solving crimes with her dad, and psychologically finding her way out of a deep depression to find a new life from the ashes of her old life. The training portions of the story are quite real and add depth to the relationship between dog and owner. The story line is also realistic and the narrator does a great job keeping the listener engaged the whole time. I found myself just sitting in my car and listening to the story, even after I reached my destination. The audiobook version of "I couldn’t put it down." Sick as A Dog is a great addition to my audiobook collection that I suspect I will listen to a few times, while I await the 4th book in the series.
