Mizushima manages to weave together Mattie's concerns regarding meeting her long-lost sister and grandmother around Mattie's investigation of a homicide (or two) through her boyfriend's sometimes tenuous relationship with his teenage daughter. Mizushima's K-9 series with Mattie, Robo, Cole and crew. 🤪Ī good read, but not such a great listen - again

The Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries are not great literature and they're not intended to be just curl up on the sofa and enjoy.

The stories are interesting and realistic tales of small-town policing. Robo will take pleasure playing with kids or a ball, protect Mattie with his life, and quickly bring a grown man to tears of terror. A perfect representation of this magnificent breed. Robo, of course! A gorgeous, devoted dog, beautiful in disposition, brains, and strength. No other issues with audio production, Liked. A bit slow, so pumped the iPhone audio up to 1.4. The entire series is narrated by Nancy Wu - and at times she's a bit too breathy and whispering. Gimme a break, Mattie! Narration is okay, but problematic in places. That and her continued rejection of Cole isn't real - he's handsome, unattached, financially secure, and is over-the-moon crazy about her. personally breakable - not frail physically, but she always seems on the verge of tears - nightmares included. But, I don't think I'd be willing to put a gun in the hand of someone so. Mattie's a little too fragile for the role, IMO - maybe that's just me. Each story comes to a satisfactory conclusion - but, start with book one to get full advantage of a budding romance.

This includes a disturbing childhood incident, her current, fragile psyche, and a mutual attraction between her and a recently divorced veterinarian, Cole Walker, and his two girls. However, there is a sub-plot that traverses the entire series - Mattie's personal life. The overall stories stand-alone - murder the basis for good guys, bad guys and Mattie's small circle of devoted friends, mostly co-workers, and, of course, Robo. The lead characters are Mattie Cobb and her partner, Robo, a 100lb German Shephard Dog. The Timber Creek K-9 Mystery Series are police procedurals in a small town. All books are 9-10 hours of listening in audiobook format.

At this writing, the series consists of Killing Trail, Stalking Ground, Hunting Hour, Burning Ridge, Tracking Game, and Hanging Falls.
