Another exciting suspenseful story with Gina and her talking dog Daisy. Gina is incensed when the sheriff suspects Gina's son has murdered Ava and is determined to prove his innocence at all costs. Gina's character is written so well, her love for her son, animals, her rescue mission, along with her faults of not being very social or tactful. How far will she go to prove his innocence? I love how her relationship with Trevor has developed in this series and look forward to seeing the outcome of her determination to have him elected as sheriff. This is a wonderful series wth each story also readable as a standalone. The story is a page turner and a quick entertaining one. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
