“ Non-stop Action and Switch Ups”
– LifeRegeneration, via Amazon

Katie Wilk and her black Labrador retriever, Maverick, are training for Search and Rescue certification, and Katie is well into the school year with her math and science students. But a series of shocking events rock their small town—a teenage beauty queen is found dead in a state park, Katie’s neighbor’s three-year-old daughter is abducted, and Maverick’s SAR certification exercise turns into a real emergency. Doctor Pete Erickson, the man Katie was starting to have feelings for, seems curiously out of touch with her these days, but the new veterinarian in town may turn out to have quite a lot in common with her.

Can Katie put together the pieces and learn if the crimes are connected, or will she and those dear to her be put in even greater danger?

It's a fun read!

This series is a fun, clean read and very enjoyable. Fall in love with Maverick, solve puzzles with Katie and sigh about the romances. It has twists and turns and cliff hangers that will make you pounce on the next book to find out what is happening 🙂

Non-stop Action and Switch Ups

Wow! The setting, characters, and situations were constantly surprising. Only one scene was wrong - CJ near the end in the woods at the park seemingly drunk and suicidal - totally out of character for this man, and this was not explained at all. Otherwise, this book is a winner for mystery, action, and just a tiny bit of romance. . . . who did Katie end up with? : - >

Great book

I loved Mary Seifert’s 2nd book even more than the first! I had not read many mysteries at all but now I am hooked and can’t wait to start reading the 3rd book. It was awesome that some of the story takes place in my backyard - Sibley State Park
