Killing Trail by Margaret Mizushima
3.0
Killing Trail is a mystery novel featuring Mattie Cobb, a K-9 officer, and her dog partner Robo. They investigate a series of murders in a small Colorado town, where they encounter danger, secrets, and romance. Robo is the star of the book, a loyal and intelligent German shepherd who helps Mattie solve the case.
The cutest thing about this book is Robo. I always enjoy stories with animal companions, especially a tough alpha male like Robo. He's so confident, smart, and adorable. The other fluffy character, Belle, is also a lovely soul and the duo make the story so much more readable. As for the plot itself, it's one of those stories where you just see the story unfold itself. There's not much guessing though there are some clues which let you know straight away the identity of the murderer (K-9 are way smarter than the police force). Robo just steals the show making Mattie, whilst likable, seems flat and uninteresting. There is no proper romance in this book, maybe a hint of what a romance in the future between Cole, the vet and fresh divorcee at this moment, and Mattie but we'll see what fate await them (though I'm doubting I'll read a sequel soon).
This should be one of those forgettable books but the smart Robo and sweet Belle makes it more than tolerable. I'm giving a 3/5 for this one.
