More from Dana

I love book covers with adorable children on them, don’t you? There’s something so angelic about those wee folks on the covers. I have two bear cubs myself, young adults now, and I love them devotedly. Tell you what though. Sometimes, just occasionally mind you, they were a wee bit naughty. Don’t tell anyone, but one reason I enjoyed writing Cold Case Pursuit so much is that hero Tyler is the single dad of a little girl named Rain who is….er…a handful. Sure, she’s adorable, but she’s prone to disobedience and the occasional tendency to flush things down the toilet. So in addition to the edge of your seat pursuit of a murderous clown killer, there are the shenanigans of a precocious preschooler, a highly trained yet distractible police K-9, and a romance that doesn’t exactly run smoothly. Fun to write? You betcha! I hope you enjoy coming along with me on this True Blue adventure!

My thoughts:

I think I say this every time I review one of Dana’s books, but when I see her name pop up I don’t even read the back cover because I know I will be in a for good read and a well written book. Add some dogs in there and what more could you ask for?

I loved the romance between Tyler and Penny, the age difference added some tension between them. The interesting thing was we knew who the bad guy was the whole time, sort of, but it was still interesting. Of course there was the question if the more recent murder was a copycat or not. I have to say Dana had me guessing on that aspect, I wasn’t sure what to believe and if it wasn’t Randall then who was it?

Overall, another suspenseful read from Dana.
