About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I like these, but I don't get the point of them. The stories are very well-written and not gritty, but not cozy either. Liberal use of colourful language and more violent crimes than can be found between the pages of most of the genre's covers. But then there's the dog's POV and it's just...cute. It doesn't contribute to the story or plot at all, it's just there for... I don't know what it's there for...cuteness? I deducted 1/2 star from my rating in part because of the mental doggie cam, but also because the third POV was from a teenage boy living in a foster home after a childhood of abuse from his parents and a stint in juvie. He's really got a chance with the foster parents...until it all goes to hell. It was really well written; my small deduction is purely based on my personal taste: I don't like reading about someone whose odds are so stacked against success being given hope and then having it taken away. Mostly, the book was great. It's less a mystery than an almost-procedural; the reader is almost always aware of who the bad guys are, but not necessarily the circumstances or how everything fits together. It's a nice change of pace. But I still don't get the appeal of the dog chapters.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Enjoyable story, Megan and Brigit are developing as partners. Seth is showing signs of being a keeper.
