“Veronica and her search and rescue dog, Leda, are on the hunt again. After finding and rescuing an injured hiker, high up in the mountains, the two find themselves drawn into an investigation where wildlife is threatened. In Tracy Carter’s Sick as a Dog, the mystery becomes more intense when they discover the remains of a dead woman. Identification is the real challenge, and the mystery thickens as plots and subplots lead to both national and international criminal activity. As the two combat and follow the clues, Veronica continues to be plagued by the haunting reality that there is a serial killer who sets his sights on taking her down. The killer is imprisoned, for now, but he will find a way out. And he will find Veronica.

Tracy Carter’s novel, Sick as a Dog, is a thrilling K-9 mystery, the third book in the Veronica Kildare K-9 Mystery series. The plot follows the rescue team, particularly Veronica and Leda, as they rescue and resolve different issues in the Colorado wilderness. Between training specialty dogs and making rescue attempts, Veronica keeps her body and mind active and busy to help dull the knowledge that there is a price on her head. The narrative intrigues and engages as the author leads readers through the dog/handler team’s various activities. The dog training segments are interesting and demonstrate how well the author knows the subject of dogs, dog training, and, especially, rescue dogs. Dialogue is used effectively, developing the characters and moving the plot forward. A fast-paced, action-filled mystery that will thrill dog lovers.” — Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Review
