More from Dana

After dreaming up Wally, the supremely naughty bloodhound, in book one (Tracking the Truth) of the Security Hounds series, I didn’t think the next fictional dog could possibly compete in the personality department. Surprise! Pinkerton, the stalwart bloodhound companion to Garrett Wolfe, scrambled onto the scene and into my heart. His faithful dedication and selflessness make up for the streams of slobber he leaves everywhere. He’s also instrumental in solving the latest case complete with twists, turns, and an ending you won’t see coming. (I hope!)

Enjoy this next installment in the series and look out for more bloodhounds in the next three books!

My Thoughts

Fugitive Search by Dana Mentink is a captivating tale.  I liked Catherine, Garrett, and Garrett’s tracking dog, Pinkerton (aka Pinky).  Garrett has his work cut out for him.  He needs to keep Catherine out of the clutches of a determined killer, find her kidnapped uncle, and prevent a madman from capturing Catherine’s sister.   I enjoyed the twists, turns, and suspense.  There was plenty of action which kept things lively.  I liked that Garrett and Catherine would turn to God for guidance and that He protect them.  While Fugitive Search is the second book in the Security Hounds Investigation series, it can be read as a standalone.  We do get to catch up with the characters from Tracking the Truth including Wally.  My favorite character from Fugitive Search was Pinky.  I just loved the sweet, slobbery dog who was determined to keep Catherine safe. Fugitive Search addresses the topics of trust, betrayal, and forgiveness. Of course, there is some romance along the way.  The danger, suspense, and mystery kept me up late to see how Fugitive Search would turn out.  Fugitive Search had a great ending.  I cannot wait for Hunted on the Trail.
