My Thoughts on Detecting Concealed Evidence

Detecting Concealed Evidence is a wonderful story that continues the series about the Security Hounds and their handlers.  We’ve met Tank before.  I love him.  He’s so fun.  You would not think of him as a search and rescue dog.  He’s super friendly but also scared of random things and just big and floppy and sweet and not a scary dog at all!

Then you have his handler, Chase, who is serious and has things that he hides.  He is not all what you see is what you get.  But he is loyal, and family means everything to him. 

When his neighbour is in trouble, he is determined to help her.  Even when she doesn’t want his help, she has more going on than just someone trying to kill her. 

Can the two of them get out of this alive and save her father as well?  Will they figure out who is after her and why?

I absolutely love this novel! This hound series has stolen my heart.  I love the characters and the dogs.  The suspense is always intense, but it’s fun, and you can’t look away.  Five stars and can’t wait for the next installation.

More from Dana

Those bloodhounds are galloping on through this Security Hounds series, aren’t they?

Here in book #5, we have Chase and the unbelievably chill Tank.

They couldn’t be more opposite. 

Tank is the kind of dog who only leaves his sunny napping spot when there’s an urgent need to do so. Chase is an energetic, unrestrained human who gets caught up in the life of the reserved Pilar, a cello player who is simply trying to earn a few extra dollars when her delivery van is forced off the road and she’s kidnapped.

That’s only the beginning of the adventure.

I hope you will enjoy Tank, who falls deeply in love with Pilar’s cello music, and Pilar and Chase, who definitely got off on the wrong foot when they first met. And what is the object the killer is desperate to get his hands on? Hope you enjoy the ride!
