“…This is an exceptional debut novel! Extremely well plotted with thoroughly described settings and interesting characters, this book will leave the reader hanging repeatedly just to catch them before they reach bottom. So well done! Kudos to Ms. Carter!! I very much enjoyed this book and do recommend it!”

“Wow! This is supposed to be a debut book for a new author, but this book read like a polished professional wrote it. The author brought the reader along on a great journey into the world of canine search and rescue. I really enjoyed seeing the inside of what it takes to train dogs for this purpose. The characters (both human and canine), were believable and easy to relate to. I felt like I was with them step by step on their journey, and I LOVED LOVED LOVED the ending!…I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series. Get busy, Ms. Carter- your fans await!”

“…This one is not JUST a mystery with a dog, but is smooth reading for anyone who wants a story with depth and subplots. I LOVED it! The characters are well developed and the story is well written. I liked all the discussions and tangents to the main plot. They are interesting bits of history, useful information, commentary, all set in the magic of the Rocky Mountains.”

“Dogged Pursuit by Tracy Carter. Dogged Pursuit is a great cozy mystery that will delight dog lovers everywhere! The story is very engaging with duel mysteries. First the mystery of the main character, Veronica Kildare’s past that is slowly revealed to the reader through out the book, and the missing person that Veronica and her search and rescue dog is looking for. This is a great audiobook that is easy to listen to and will keep you engaged to the very end.”

“Dogged Pursuit is a fast-paced story and the narration was so very well done to give these characters personality and make for an entertaining listen!
Solid characters with a brief background so you know where the lead is coming from. I love how it has so many twists and turns and keeps you guessing how it will work out.
The whole thing is fast-paced, but by the last few chapters, I couldn’t put it down.”

“4 1/2 stars for me. This was an interesting story. I loved the tracking, clue hunting, bravery and compassion of Veronica Kildare. Her connection to Leda, her main tracking dog, was wonderful. Hunting for a missing professor led to danger, shoot outs, and near misses. The descriptions of the wilderness, mountains, and more had me wishing to be there. There was a lot of research done for this story. I enjoyed this and look forward to the next in the series. The narration by Alyssa Baumann gave an added dimension to the story. She was clear and wonderful to listen to.”
