While on patrol in Fort Worth, Officer Megan Luz and her trusty canine partner, Brigit, meet a natural force that leaves them reeling -- a tornado. It overturns their police cruiser and leaves lots of property damage in it's wake. As she searches for victims needing assistance, Megan comes face to face with a gang of looters. Outnumbered in a very dangerous situation, she has no choice but to let them escape....but that doesn't mean she forgets. She's not only on the lookout for the gang members that threatened her, and the citizens/business owners of Fort Worth following a disaster, but she's also on the trail of a killer. I enjoy this series. It always provides a nice mix of humor and light mystery. I like the short chapters from Brigit's point of view. Her doggie insights are always fun to read. :) This series is cozy-ish -- there are some adult situations and a little bit of cursing. Not anything over-the-top, graphic or over-done.....but I know some cozy readers don't like sexual situations or curse words. I would recommend a bit of parental guidance before handing this series to a child under 13. And, for readers who adhere strictly to the usual cozy limits....this pushes past that just a bit. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite series. I like Megan as a main character. She has personality and can hold her own. I feel the same way about Brigit....she's quirky and knows just when to let her feelings be known....sometimes life requires chewing up shoes. It's a fact of life. This series currently has 7 books, with an 8th coming out November 26, 2019. I'm definitely going to keep reading this series. I always enjoy entertaining light mysteries with a good dose of humor. Megan wields a mean baton! :) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

When a raging tornado hits Forth Worth, Megan's squad car is flipped over-and her devoted police dog, Brigit, is not amused. But that's not all that's upside down. The streets are littered with looters-and members of a violent street gang-and no local business is safe. It's time to get back on all fours and see that the job of protecting the public is done. But Megan, outmanned and outgunned, has no choice but to let the gang members get away. Later, when she learns that one of them is a suspect in an unsolved murder case, Megan is determined to see that justice is served. But will she end up in the doghouse? Her investigation has her and Brigit barking up the wrong tree at every turn. Meanwhile, a killer's on the loose . . . who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

I deducted 1/2 star from my rating in part because of the mental doggie cam, but also because the third POV was from a teenage boy living in a foster home after a childhood of abuse from his parents and a stint in juvie. He's really got a chance with the foster parents...until it all goes to hell. It was really well written; my small deduction is purely based on my personal taste: I don't like reading about someone whose odds are so stacked against success being given hope and then having it taken away.
Mostly, the book was great. It's less a mystery than an almost-procedural; the reader is almost always aware of who the bad guys are, but not necessarily the circumstances or how everything fits together. It's a nice change of pace. But I still don't get the appeal of the dog chapters. ( )
