Stalking Ground

A Timber Creek K-9 Mystery, Book 2

By: Margaret Mizushima

Narrated by: Nancy Wu

The next thrilling installment in the Timber Creek K-9 mysteries.

When Deputy Ken Brody's sweetheart goes missing in the mountains outside Timber Creek, Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner Robo are called to search. But it's mid-October and a dark snow storm is brewing over the high country. And they're already too late. By the time they find her body, the storm has broken and the snow is coming down hard.

While Brody hikes down to bring back the forensics team and veterinarian Cole Walker gathers supplies to protect them from the storm, Mattie and Robo find themselves alone, guarding the gravesite overnight in the dead of the early winter. And that's only the first long, dark night in a series of them, because as their investigation develops, Mattie, Robo, Brody, and Cole find themselves in the middle of the killer's stalking ground - where the hunters become the hunted.

An engrossing listen filled with tension, excitement, and heart, Stalking Ground, the second in Margaret Mizushima's lauded debut series, will send a chill down every listener's spine.

Fun Read

Good story (a bit predictable - but not annoyingly so) and continued character development. I enjoy this narrator (listened at a faster speed as I need to do with most narrators) and was rarely distracted by the reading. Definitely looking forward to the next in the series!

Small town book, wonderful.

Such a great book, I am reading them all. Love the small town thing, reminds me of the small town I grew up in.

loved it

this book was mesmerizing I couldn't stop listening. the narrator was awesome in telling story

Loved it

I really like how the story is constructed, telling two stories and how they overlap with the other!

To me, this was a great listen and the Nancy did a job well done!

Great team!

Really enjoying this series. Mattie and Robo, they are a great team! Good character development.

Great Author

This book was so intriguing I couldn’t wait for the drive home each evening from work. I am now enjoying this author in the comfort of my home!

LOVING IT!

I am loving this series. Maddie & Robo are an awesome team. While Maddie has made some questionable moves, their continuing story is still great.

Better and Better

It took me a couple of chapters to get invested in Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner, Robo, but I’m glad I stuck it out. What initially seemed like a simple working relationship quickly blossomed into a heartfelt friendship between the Timber Creek deputy and dog. Vivid descriptions of mountain trails and nicely-drawn characters populate this story, and the twisty plot moves along briskly. Mattie is confronted with danger on many levels, but her quick thinking, perseverance, and brave companion get her through. Her relationship with veterinarian, Cole Walker, is a highlight, and I rooted for them to take the next step. Newly-single-dad Cole has problems too, including a femme fatal and a housekeeper who can’t seem to win over his daughters. And as much as I liked Robo, it was bad boy Bruno, a Doberman, who grabbed my heart. I so enjoyed being in this world envisioned by Margaret Mizushima that I didn’t want the book to end. Guess I’ll have to read the next one in the series!

Great 2nd book !

The characters are further developed and the storyline kept me interested. The dog Robo is a true canine hero !
