If you like reading a mystery where dogs play a big part, than the Mercy and Elvis series is for you.

Set in the mountains of Vermont, two war vets, Mercy and her canine partner Elvis, return home to do some detective work. Mercy’s grandfather’s former deputy asks for her help to solve a 20 year old cold case on his dying bed. She enlists the aid of the local game warden and his search and rescue dog, Susie Bear. Little do they know that the cold case ties in with another crime that will put Mercy’s family at risk.

This is a kind-hearted mystery and one that is easy to read. The love of dogs and wildlife shines through with each character. The author treats military vets in a warm way that makes you feel for the characters and what they have lived through both past and present.
