An Epic Installment in the Raine Stockton Dog Mystery Series

In this pivotal 15th book in the ground-breaking Raine Stockton Dog Mystery Series, the death of an old friend leaves Raine Stockton with an unwanted inheritance, an old wound reopened, and the most challenging mystery of her life.

The name Stockton has always carried weight in the small Smokey Mountain community of Hanover County, North Carolina, and Judge Jonathon Stockton was one of the most respected men in the county… until a scandal was uncovered that destroyed his legacy and shook his daughter, Raine, to the very foundation of her being. Now her father’s misdeeds are once again threatening to upend Raine’s world, this time in the form of a relative she never knew she had.

Both Raine’s ex-husband, county investigator Buck Lawson, and her fiancé, Miles Young, warn Raine that Casey Macintosh is not what he appears to be. But while Raine is not as naïve as either man seems to suspect, she finds herself unwillingly charmed by this stranger who claims to be her long-lost brother, and more curious than suspicious. But the more she learns about Casey the more she realizes that he is not only deceptive, he may also be dangerous.

Raine and her search-and-rescue golden retriever, Cisco, have spent their lives rescuing others who have stumbled off the trail. She has never faced a crisis she couldn’t manage with the help of her devoted dog and her friends. But with Buck in the midst of an out-of-state move and a new county prosecutor looking to make a name for himself, Raine soon finds herself entangled in a desperate situation with no way out and no one to turn to. This time, she is not the savior, but the victim. And not even Cisco can help her now.

Excellent series

Another great story in this series! Hoping for many more! Highly recommended! The characters grow, and the plot has plenty of twists and turns.

I love the Raine Stockton series!

Absolutely loved it! Donna Ball is one of my favorite authors. Excellent narration too!

Always a joy!

I’ve listened to most of the Raine Stockton books, and they are always gripping and exciting. Lots of twists and turns in convincing plots. Great characters! Donna Postel does a wonderful job in narrating them. Thanks for the fun!

Love this series

I was a little hesitant when I started this series.. but it’s great!! Donna Ball is. Wonderful writer and I’m always anxiously waiting for the next book in the series!!

Suspense

Storyline kept you wanting to hear more. Addition of a brother was a great addition to other characters.

Fabulous.

Thank you for the audible version of Book #15 AND keeping Donna Postel as the narrator. Winning combination and enjoyed the segway to Buck's departure and KC joining the family. I see lots of adventures ahead and can't wait for the next audible versions of both series to be released.

Best dog ever!

I’ve been keeping up with the Raine Stockton Mysteries from Book 1 & IMO this is the best one yet. Raine learns more about her family’s secrets, inherits Maude’s old home & finds herself in serious trouble with the law. Ms. Ball spins her magic with words along the way in this non-stop action mystery set in the hills of Appalachia filled with the regular characters, her dogs, her fiancé & her law man ex-husband, Buck. Ms. Postel did her usual good job with the narration.

Best yet!

This is the best book yet. I’m starting the Buck Lawson Blood River series next. Can’t wait!

Fabulous

Probably my favorite book in the series

I was so excited to read this next book in one of my favorite series. I felt like I was revisiting old friends. I enjoy the storyline, the characters, and of course the dogs! As usual, the book swept me away. I also really enjoyed the twist at the end. Donna Postel is the perfect narrator, and I can’t imagine anyone else reading this series. So looking forward to the next one! Thank you Donna BALL for hours of enjoyment!
