Description

When a plane crash claims her husband and son, Bree Nichols and her search-and-rescue dog won't rest until they recover the bodies. But when quiet Rock Harbor is shaken by a violent crime, Bree discovers links to her husband's fatal accident. Would solving this crime bring her peace—or more incredibly, reunite her family?

It’s been months since the crash. K-9 search-and-rescue worker Bree Nicholls knows the chances of finding her husband and son in the vast wilderness of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula grow more remote by the day. But her heart and her faithful dog, Samson, demand she keep searching.

Deep in the woods a young boy wakes in a tiny cabin. He’s being nursed back to health by a reclusive woman, but he can’t figure out why she calls him by a name he doesn’t recognize. Or why she’s calling herself his mother. He wants to leave, but as winter sets in, his very life depends on her care.

Meanwhile, Bree’s relentless determination to find her family has uncovered a violent crime. With the help of Park Ranger Kade Matthews, she discovers the violence may be linked to the plane crash that took her family. Could solving the crime bring her healing from her own loss?

Set in the untamed beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the Rock Harbor novels draw readers into the life and adventures of a canine search-and-rescue team as it unravels the secrets of an enchanting wilderness.

    I loved this book! The emotion and natural thought processes were written so well, and although some things seemed obvious, I was floored when I discovered whodunit! I am eager to read the rest of your books from my home state. Sincerely, Paige R. Dunn
  • Good plot - female lead not smart

    I really liked the plot. Some twists and action with a variety of the characters. The female lead consistently jumped to conclusions, made accusations and did not share key information with the law. She also put herself in risky positions more often than a 'intelligent' woman would. The setting description was good but redundant after a few chapters. Again the plot and who-done-it was original and kept moving. Most of the female side characters were smart and strong. I will not read another of this character but may try this author again to see if she can write a strong AND smart female lead.
