Will the bi-monthly attacks on the Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit's HQ result in the closure of this team? Is there a connection between this vandalism and the past of the Unit's director, Sergeant Tyson Wilkes? And will his K-9 partner Echo and local Detective Skylar Morgan be able to help him solve this mystery before their world goes KABOOM?
Explosive Revenge by Maggie K. Black is the seventh installment of the Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit series. For those unfamiliar with the annual K-9 series by Harlequin's Love Inspired Suspense line, there are eight novels and a double novella written by different authors. While there are usually three overarching story-lines covering the whole series, each have their own story as well, and are written that a person who picks up a book in the middle of the series won't be lost.
This is true of this volume. The first novel deals with the first mysterious attack, with others popping up in the series. As director of the Unit, Tyson is a supporting character through the series, and Skylar has a couple of appearances as well. This novel places the spotlight on this storyline and focuses on the couple. (What do you expect? This is a Harlequin imprint!)
I thought this was a well written story. Black manages to keep things moving so you're constantly trying to guess who the villain is. It develops its main characters believably (including Dutch Shepherd Echo).
Would it surprise you if I recommended both this book and the series so far? I wouldn't be surprised either.
