UNDERCOVER ASSIGNMENT

This K-9 will stop at nothing ti keep a child safe.

When a little boy is threatened, Officer Daniella Vargas and K-9 partner, Zara, are assigned to pose as his nanny to uncover the culprit's identity. Suspecting one of the guests in his inn, widower Sam Kavanaugh's only option is to begrudgingly trust Daniella and Zara to help. But can they solve the case and its mysterious connection to Sam's late wife before it's too late?

My Review:

Whoa, Dana Mentink's storytelling keeps getting better and better with each new release. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite but Undercover Assignment would definitely be in the running. 

She delivers so much 'oomph' into a shorter word count. From the suspense to the romance to the carefully issued backstories of both hero and heroine...well, I'm nearly speechless. Impeccably well written, meticulously thought out, the plot's pace is measured but compelling. 

This isn't an 'inciting incident in every chapter' kind of LIS, but each chapter builds up the suspense, even the 'quieter' ones. That doesn't mean there isn't action and danger -- it's just doled out in well-placed doses. All the better to amp up the tension without drowning out the story.

And, of course, since this is Dana Mentink, there's humour and dog whispering to bring a nice balance to that aforementioned tension. :-)

Undercover Assignment is the fourth book in the Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit continuity series and the author does a fabulous job of catching new readers up on the over-arcing suspense thread while keeping the focus on the intriguing mystery unique to this book. You won't feel lost or left out if you haven't read the other books but they've all been fabulous so I recommend that you do!

I was over-the-moon thrilled to be able to listen to the audible edition of this book (I wish more LI and LIS were available in that format.) Narrator Eva Kaminksy did a great job of bringing this story to life.
