Tracking Game by Margaret Mizushima


Murder in rural Timber Creek, Colorado. Violent poachers. A ‘creature’ on the loose. Old money ranch family. Cop Mattie Cobb and her K-9 Robo plus veterinarian Cole Walker (who’s patiently waiting for Cobb to return his affections) get pulled into a curious swirl of conflicting rumors and puzzling evidence.

Now the premise had potential, but the further I went into this story (the 5th Timber Creek K-9 mystery), that voice in my head kept telling me this sounded a lot like a Hallmark Murder and Mystery product. I’ll admit that I do enjoy the occasional Hallmark Channel movie and when committed, I’m in for the full 2hrs (w/ commercials). But not when I’m reading. If I’m going all in for a week or two, it’ll be more on my terms and less the Hallmark flavor of the month. Having said that, readers who truly love Hallmark movies will no doubt find this an enjoyable escape.
