I recently started this series, I think at book 17 or 18. The first book I read did not instill any confidence for me to move forward in the series. Am I glad I ignored myself.
I found I really enjoy all of the regular characters in the book, including the animals. Mack, Nick, Nan, and the captain are all unique personalities. I am not going to rehash what the book is about because it's laid out in the description.
What I will say is that I have never found a more convoluted tale to be so intriguing. At the same time, reading how Doreen lays out the facts of the case was pretty straightforward.
I admit that I was surprised at a couple of points when she found out certain facts she didn't question the person about them. I wasn't disappointed, because those same questions came up at a later time.
I am going to have to start at the beginning of the series. I know some background on Doreen and her past, but I would really like to get a more complete picture. That being said, I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Doreen is finally asked by the Captain to help in a case and I loved how he finally realised she is good at what she does especially with cold cases. Not only do we have another good mystery to solve that provides plenty of twists and some good red herrings, as always a bit of danger for Maureen, along with things continuing to grow between Doreen and Mack which makes me happy to no end!.
