Texas K-9 Unit Series Books 1-3: Tracking Justice\Detection Mission\Guard Duty by Shirlee McCoy, Margaret Daley & Sharon Dunn ~ Review + Giveaway of Protection Detail by Shirlee McCoy!!!!


Lucie's Review:

I loved the format of having three books in one, so that I didn't have to wait to read the next book, I could just keep reading--which was great because I didn't want to stop! But then when I was finished I wanted the next three!

I loved the common threads in each of the stories, and how they showed up in each other's stories. Each of the dogs is unique, and of a different breed, with a different specialty that help their human friends solve the mystery.

I liked how each of the stories was connected, yet complete all on its own, there is an over arching mystery to solve on what is behind the sudden rise in crime, yet each mystery finds he answer to their specific problem.

Each of the heroes are men of integrity and faith, who are dedicated to protecting others.

Engaging and fast paced, with stellar characters and great interaction, this is a series not to be missed!

About the authors:
Shirlee McCoy
Shirlee McCoy has always loved making up stories. As a child she daydreamed elaborate tales in which she was the heroine — gutsy, strong and invincible. Though she soon grew out of her superhero fantasies, her love for storytelling never diminished. Shirlee knew early that she wanted to write inspirational fiction and began writing her first novel when she was a teenager. Still, it wasn't until her third son was born that she truly began pursuing her dream of being published. Three years later she sold her first book. Now a busy mother of four, Shirlee is a homeschool mom by day and an inspirational author by night. She and her husband and children live in Maryland and share their home with a dog and a guinea pig.
Margaret Daley
Margaret has been writing for over 35 years. She started writing in the late 1970s because she wanted to see if she could put a whole story down on paper. That book is still in the drawer and will never see the light of day. But she was able to finish a book, which was her goal. She loved teaching and working with students with special needs, and recently retired from teaching to write full-time. When she isn't working, she loves to read, travel, and go to lunch and a movie with a friend. She and her husband, Mike, to whom she has been married for over 40 years live in Tulsa. Besides teaching and writing, she is also a mother of one. Her son, Shaun, is married with four daughters.
Sharon Dunn
Sharon Dunn first fell in love with mystery and suspense about the time she read Nancy Drew mysteries in the fifth grade. Her first book in the Ruby Taylor mysteries Romance Rustlers and Thunderbird Thieves was a finalist for the Romantic Times Inspirational Book of the Year. The second book in that series Sassy Cinderella and the Valiant Vigilante was voted Book of the Year by American Christian Fiction Writers. Her hobbies include reading, working out, hiking, trying to find things around the house and making pets out of the dust bunnies under the furniture. Before she started writing, she used to sew. Now she just collects fabric and patterns and fantasizes about projects. After nearly twenty seven years of marriage, Sharon lost her beloved husband in 2014. She lives with her three nearly grown children, two cats and a nervous border collie named Bart.

Yet trusting Gavin is the only way to stay one step ahead of the deadly gunman when Cassie becomes a target. 

Capitol K-9 Unit: These lawmen solve the toughest cases with the help of their brave canine partners.



Lucie's Review: 

A wonderful mix of action, adventure, interaction and suspense. 

Gavin McCord is an officer in the K-9 Unit with his trusty dog, Glory at his side, he is determined to find the killer. 
Cassie Danver's runs a nearby home for foster kids, "All Our Kids" and one of her young charges may have witnessed the crime. But Cassie is hesitant to let Gavin question the children. But when she suddenly becomes the killer's new target, trusting Gavin may be her best option.

Suspense isn't usually my favorite genre, but this book was amazing, from the excellent character development to the action packed scenes, and the many adorable children of "All Our Children."
I loved how the focus is one keeping the kids safe, and how so many of them become so dear to Gavin.

Gavin and Cassie are both strong, compassionate people of faith, who are dedicated to their work and surprised to find that someone they thought they knew is really so much more.

Overall, this was an excellent book with a fast hook, easy to read style, and a brisk pace. Sure to be a book that you won't want to put down, with heroes that you feel great about cheering for!
