Deadly Cargo

GIVEAWAY

BAILEY, JODIE

DEADLY CARGO

Secrets could turn deadly if an officer and his K-9 don't uncover them.

Following an anonymous tip, K-9 Trooper Will Stryker's drug-trafficking investigation has a new suspect -- Jasmine Jefferson, an Alaskan bush pilot he's convinced is hiding something. But when someone tries to kill them, Jasmine confesses she's in witness protection. Now Will and his K-9 partner, Scout, must work with Jasmine to figure out if the attacks are related to his case...or if someone's out for revenge.

My Review:

That cover!!! A border collie hero will grab my attention every time! And Scout and his super sniffer is definitely hero material. His two-legged partner, Will is hero material too so that made me an extra happy reader. :-)

Deadly Cargo is the fifth book in the Alaska K-9 Unit continuity series. It can definitely be read as a standalone since both suspense and romance are nicely wrapped up by the end of the book BUT there is also an over-arcing suspense plot that carries through each book. It doesn't take up too much page time but I've been enjoying watching the development as we're just over the halfway mark now. And Jodie Bailey does a great job of catching up and highlighting the important stuff so it's easy for a newbie-to-the-series reader to follow plus a great refresh for us stalwart fans.

One of the great things about this series is the variety of K-9s -- both in breeds and work and the authors do a great job of describing what a day in the life  with a K-9 is like. I always learn an interesting tidbit or two in each story.

And in this one we're on the hunt for nefarious drug traffickers. Jasmine being a pilot raises the stakes to a whole other level (ha, see what I did there?) Seriously, I love heroines who have unusual occupations and jasmine is awesome! There are some intense in-the-air moments that really added to the suspense. 

Deadly Cargo has it all -- suspense, action, romance, all wrapped up in wagging tails and doggy kisses. Love when my two obsessions collide.
