Very short and fast-reading thriller with a K-9 co-star. All familiar characters to me, and I was more than happy to visit them again. (Except, of course, the perp and his victims. They were new.) The only complaint I could possibly have is that I wish the books were a little longer, to give me more time to spend in her world.
I do wish that the author would find a better way to introduce the story than depicting an episode in the victims point of view. It starts with the runaway kid and I was anticipating having to skip half of the book, if she was going to keep switching back and forth, but luckily she didn't. Only once more, briefly, near the end, did she switch POV. But still I don't know why it was necessary to start off the book that way--it seems like there would be a million clever ways to launch a story than show "the incident" like they do on TV crime dramas. And this one wasn't even an "incident"--just a bit of a kid's life.
