ReviewsPraise for Hunting Hour : 2017 RT REVIEWER'S CHOICE AWARD NOMINEE " Suspenseful [and] meticulously detailed...[A] rewarding, small-town police procedural." -- Publishers Weekly "Fans who miss Virginia Lanier's 'Bloodhound' series, and readers who relish strong female characters and procedurals with a strong sense of place will want to get better acquainted with Mattie and Robo." -- Library Journal "After exploring her heroine's history in Stalking Ground (2016), Mizushima presents a fresh mystery in which the heroine's motivations may reveal even more about her background." -- Kirkus Reviews "Mizushima's best mystery yet! ...Hunting Hour is suspenseful and engaging , keeping readers on edge the entire way through this third Timber Creek K-9 Mystery." -- RT Book Reviews Top Pick "A compelling story peopled with full-dimensional characters about whom you grow to care deeply." -- Deadly Pleasures, Praise for the series: "Realistic characters and believable plot twists distinguish Mizushima's brisk sequel to 2015's Killing Trail ... Robo proves his mettle as a well-trained detective and a brave hero in this incisive look at small-town police work." -- Publishers Weekly on Stalking Ground "The second adventure in Mizushima's fine series...[is] a taut page-turner on multiple levels. A perfect read-alike for Robert Crais' series starring LAPD officer Scott James and his K-9 partner, Maggie." -- Booklist on Stalking Ground "Mizushima's sophomore outing proves that her acclaimed series debut, Killing Trail , was no fluke... dog lovers will want to read this thriller." -- Library Journal on Stalking Ground "Debut author Mizushima's classic police procedural adds a fresh angle involving the work of K-9s. The appealing Robo knows what he's doing, he just needs to train Mattie to trust him. Sue Henry fans will love." -- Library Journal starred review, Debut of the Month on Killing Trail "The interactions between Mattie and Robo will tug the heartstrings of every dog lover... Mizushima's debut reflects both her skill as a suspense writer and her respect for animals. The shocking conclusion will stay with readers while they wait for the next story in the series. Pair this with Robert Crais' Suspect (2013)" -- Booklist starred review on Killing Trail "Winning heroine...strong debut...a realistic view of how a K-9 team works, treating Robo as an important character, but never stooping to anthropomorphism. And it's impossible not to fall in love with Robo." -- Publishers Weekly starred review on Killing Trail "Mizushima does an excellent job of developing [Mattie and Robo] as characters, allowing readers to feel a personal connection to them both. Overall a great debut for an up-and-coming mystery writer." -- RT Book Reviews , Top Pick on Killing Trail, Praise for Hunting Hour : " Suspenseful [and] meticulously detailed...[A] rewarding, small-town police procedural." -- Publishers Weekly "Fans who miss Virginia Lanier's 'Bloodhound' series, and readers who relish strong female characters and procedurals with a strong sense of place will want to get better acquainted with Mattie and Robo." -- Library Journal "After exploring her heroine's history in Stalking Ground (2016), Mizushima presents a fresh mystery in which the heroine's motivations may reveal even more about her background." -- Kirkus Reviews "Mizushima's best mystery yet! ...Hunting Hour is suspenseful and engaging , keeping readers on edge the entire way through this third Timber Creek K-9 Mystery." -- RT Book Reviews Top Pick "A compelling story peopled with full-dimensional characters about whom you grow to care deeply." -- Deadly Pleasures, Praise for the series: Realistic characters and believable plot twists distinguish Mizushima's brisk sequel to 2015's Killing Trail ...

SynopsisRT Reviewers' Choice Award finalist for Best Mystery: A string of disappearances leads Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner, Robo, into another bone-chilling investigation Deputy Mattie Cobb is in a dark place and has withdrawn from Cole Walker and his family to work on issues from her past. When she and her K-9 partner, Robo, get called to track a missing junior high student, they find the girl dead on Smoker's Hill behind the high school, and Mattie must head to the Walker home to break the bad news. But that's only the start of trouble in Timber Creek, because soon another girl goes missing--and this time it's one of Cole's daughters. Knowing that each hour a child remains missing lessens the probability of finding her alive, Mattie and Robo lead the hunt while Cole and community volunteers join in to search everything--to no avail. It seems that someone has snatched all trace of the Walker girl from their midst, including her scent. Grasping at straws, Mattie and Robo follow a phoned-in tip into the dense forest, where they hope to find a trace of the girl and rescue her alive. But when Robo does catch her scent, it leads them to information that challenges everything they thought they knew about the case. Mattie and Robo must rush to hunt down the kidnapper before they're too late in Hunting Hour , the heart-pounding third installment in Margaret Mizushima's exhilarating Timber Creek K-9 mysteries.
