Mattie Cobb really likes her new partner. He’s good-looking, has thick dark hair, brown eyes, a killer smile, and he listens to what she says. He’s also eager to please! He’s their first K-9 police dog, Robo. Mattie won the chance to be his trainer, and she is excited about working with him.
Mattie and Robo find the body of a teenage girl in the woods, and Mattie suspects that the girl’s murder might be tied to the increasing drug traffic in the small Colorado town of Timber Creek.
Mattie and Robo are an unusual and dynamic detective duo. If you like mysteries and dogs, give this one a try.
