De: Diane Kelly

Narrado por: Coleen Marlo

When a raging tornado hits Forth Worth, Megan's squad car is flipped over - and her devoted police dog, Brigit, is not amused. But that's not all that's upside down. The streets are littered with looters - and members of a violent street gang - and no local business is safe. It's time to get back on all fours and see that the job of protecting the public is done.

But Megan, outmanned and outgunned, has no choice but to let the gang members get away. Later, when she learns that one of them is a suspect in an unsolved murder case, Megan is determined to see that justice is served. But will she end up in the doghouse? Her investigation has her and Brigit barking up the wrong tree at every turn. Meanwhile a killer's on the loose...who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Fun!

I like the main character . She is good but not perfect. The romance is interesting and not too graphic. I love the chapters from the dog's viewpoint.

Great story. Loved hearing the dog's thoughts.

Fun and sweet story. Liked that justice prevailed! German Shepherd lovers will especially love this audio book.

Hit & Miss, but humorous

Any additional comments?

I'm listening to this whole series because I really like dogs and the jobs they do. It's sad that Bridgett is portrayed as a Diva, but she is funny and does some cool things. I much prefer strong women characters and Megan does not fill this role. I keep hoping as the series goes on, maybe she'll get better. Overall, the series is humorous, the story lines are goofy and the characters remind me of Police Academy.

Strong & Diverse

The author was brave to create a strong female character who was not totally white in a book series set in Texas.

Too depressing....

I read for relaxation. Listening to the boy’s situation was not relaxing. I’m sure he was saved in the end but I couldn’t stand it long enough to get there so I gave up. The premise of the K9 and his handler is cute so I wish I could keep listening but I read to escape the horrors of the world I don’t need them creeping into my causal reading. It was the same with the last book. I might try one more book because I like everything else.
