De: Jeffrey B. Burton

Narrado por: Matt Godfrey

Jeffrey B. Burton's The Keepers is the next installment of the Mace Reid K-9 series, featuring golden retriever cadaver dog Vira and her handler, Mason Reid.

Mason “Mace” Reid lives on the outskirts of Chicago and specializes in human-remains detection - that is, he trains dogs to hunt for dead bodies. He calls his pack of cadaver dogs The Finders, and his prize pupil is a golden retriever named Vira.

When Mace Reid and Vira are called in to search Washington Park at three o'clock in the morning, what they find has them running for their very lives. The trail of murder and mayhem Mace and CPD Officer Kippy Gimm have been following leads them to uncover treachery and corruption at the highest level, and their discoveries do not bode well for them...nor for the Windy City itself.

The Keepers is an exciting, fast-paced mystery filled with courageous dogs you'll want to root for.

Twisty and deep story line.

I really love these books. Even though they scare me and make my heart race.

Some violence

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. There were some chapters and passages that were a little bit too violent/scary for me.

Bad language & too many characters

First let me say I love these books! The first one was much more enjoyable because the plot was more clear and the character development was better. This one had a sub-plot with tough gangster types using vulgar language (every other word beginning with F) and it made me cringe. It seriously detracted from my enjoyment of the book. Please take note Mr. Burton and omit from your next book!

Excellent

Solid story, it took some concentration in the beginning but over all very good book.

Pretty Good

The Keepers is a pretty good cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. The pace is a bit slow but it's worth it to stick to the end.

Not quite as good as "Finders," but close.

First of all, Jeffery B. Burton is a master story teller. I was waiting for "Keepers" to be released and I wasn't the least bit disappointed. I'll be watching closely for the third in the Mace Reid series to be published, and am disappointed to know that it will be a year's wait. I may have been a little disappointed that it wasn't about a serial killer this time, and that we knew the murder(s) pretty early on. Perhaps that it really wasn't a mystery as much as a thriller. Please remember that 4 stars means "It's Great." because this book was great, just a little different than the first one. Love the dogs and the authors portrayal of the dogs., love the characters. Love the narrator. It's an all around win for me.

Good story, great narrator

Story that keeps you guessing, narrator who captures Mace perfectly. (SPOILER alert--all the dogs are okay in the end)

Really Enjoying This Series

As the headline says... I'm really enjoying this series. For me, the narration takes this up a notch or two. Story is really good. The narration is excellent & a great pairing.

I love this series

Really keeps you on the edge of your seat! I just love this series. great narration and tons of suspense! It won't disappoint.

Yes to dogs!

Love books about dogs like this. Not to mention it’s a great story and a great reader.
Could do without the F word.
