This was a well crafted mystery. I enjoyed Robo, the trained search dog, and learning a little about how they are used in detective work. There was a little more gore in this book than I like, but it was an interesting story. Fast paced and likeable. The plot was a bit unbelievable. Even so, I recommend.
