Special Agent Sydney
Rose Parnell and her K-9 partner Clyde have come back from Iraq with scars, but
they do their best to keep moving and do their job as railroad police in Colorado.
When the Denver Major Crimes unit calls them in on a brutal homicide of a young
woman with a connection to hobos (and thus trains), Sydney discovers a
connection to her past in Iraq with Mortuary Services and the main suspect in
the murder. As Sydney works the case, she tries hard not to let PTSD pull her
or Clyde under again, but it’s a tough road to travel. Can she solve the murder
and keep the past secret or will it all come tumbling down around her and
Clyde?
Wow. Just, wow. There is
a lot going on in this suspenseful murder mystery, but it’s not a bad thing.
Sydney’s a remarkable woman who has survived a lot of hardship, but she keeps
on when most would just give up. The mystery surrounding Elise’s murder seems
to be straight forward, but it is not. Oh, boy, it is not. Sydney’s nose for
getting to the truth rivals Clyde’s and the story just pulled me, a willing
participant, along for the ride. I didn’t want to put the book down. The
addition of train and hobo trivia is fascinating to me. These are subjects I
had no clue about and loved learning everything about them. And I love how
Sydney and Clyde work together. In my opinion, this book is unputdownable.
There is a thread that goes unfinished and I’m hoping it will lead into book 2.
I’m looking forward to more of Sydney Rose and Clyde who I call Wonder Dog in
my head.
Bonus points for the
capitalization of Marine, but points off for calling them soldiers. Soldiers
are Army. Marines are Marines, always.
