Standing Dead

Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries, Book 8

By: Margaret Mizushima

Narrated by: Nancy Wu

Deputy Mattie Cobb and her sister, Julia, travel to Mexico to visit their mother, but when they arrive, they discover that she and her husband have vanished without a trace.

Back in Timber Creek, Mattie finds a chilling note on her front door telling her to look for “him” among the standing dead up in the high country. The sheriff’s department springs into action and sends a team to the mountains, where Mattie’s K-9 partner, Robo, makes a grisly discovery—a body tied to a dead pine tree.

Mattie is shocked when she realizes she knows the dead man. And then another note arrives, warning that Mattie’s mother is in desperate straits. In a last-ditch gambit, Mattie must go deep undercover into a killer’s lair to save her mother—or die trying.

K-9 Series

I think the whole series was great and I absolutely love the series. Thank you.

Very satisfying series!

At first I was hesitant to engage knowing that one of the main characters was animal. However, this author has made it a delight to get to know “Robo” and all the characters in this series. I feel I have learnt a lot while being thoroughly entertained.

Truly a Happy Ending!!

I really enjoyed this series! I was afraid I would get bored with so many titles in it. I underestimated the author's ability to keep things going and change it up some with every episode! She does a great job of developing and "growing " the characters as it progressed! I was in love with the vet right along with the heroine! I kinda felt like a big sister watching her grow up and mature with every perilous situation!
The reader did a great job job for the most part. She seemed to be slipping in this book, as if she was getting tired of keeping them separated! The previous books she did a better job job of keeping them separate, distinguishing the voices between characters! I would highly recommend this series, especially to the animal lovers!I I appreciate the continuity of the characters and the story line. I only noticed one little booboo at the beginning of the last book! When she referred to the Cobb brothers as "One was dead and the other in prison", which was not quite accurate at that point!
I think the only reason it stood out to me was because everything else was spot on!! I will definitely watch for more from this author! Thanks!

Addicting Series

After listening to book 1 in this series, I listened to one after another of all the subsequent ones. I learned lots I hadn’t known about K 9s. The main characters are engaging. Each book continues to use the familiar ones, while introducing new characters at a reasonable pace. I am looking forward to the time Audible will have the 2024 book in this series.

Great

Great series, excellent narration, exciting story. Hope there are more to come. Three more words not needed.

Another great addition to Mattie & Robo’s Story

Loved learning more about Mattie, Robo, Cole, and all our favorite Timber Creek characters’ journey. Can’t wait for the next one!

Love this Series!

I love all of these books. They pull you in from the beginning and hold you until the end! Robo is my HERO as are all the working dogs!!❤️❤️

Love this series

The ending of this book was a little ridiculous and too cute, but overall I think these books are great.

Everything I’d hoped for!

I waited for months for this book to release, started it at midnight… just finished it in one day!
Love the characters and story line. Kept me on my toes! Great job ❤️
