Dogged

2018 | Mystery

Joe Rodriguez and Tommy Flaherty are not averse to dogs. Shucks, Joe’s kids own a couple. But then there’s obnoxious little Buffy, yapping constantly, and Mitzi the Westie, also a pain-in-the-tail. Snarf the basset, however, provides material assistance as they pursue a madman. A serial killer is murdering people and in the process breaking all of their long bones. All of them.
Complicating Joe’s life is his growing preoccupation with Tommy’s cousin Bridgid. What was once casual interest is becoming an obsession, and he is mooning so constantly, his captain puts him on forced leave. This does not prevent him from finding himself in cringe-worthy situations, not the least of them a most unfortunate helicopter mishap.

Joe and Tommy must Doggedly Track Down Another Killer
It starts with the discovery of a naked body in Camelback Mountain. The victim, a female, had been discovered not too far from the hiking path by some early morning hikers. The weirdest part is that all of the bones in her legs and arms had been broken before she died. Phoenix homicide detectives Joe Rodriguez and Tommy Flaherty are assigned to the case, but while they are still tracking down the victim's identity, another body is found. This one has the same broken bones, but it is several months older. Joe is finding himself distracted by his concerns over his new relationship with Bridgid, Tommy's cousin. Can he focus on the case long enough to solve it?

I was very pleasantly surprised earlier this year when I saw this book pop up. This is definitely a book that falls into the traditional part of the mystery spectrum, but it doesn't get much worse than what I teased already. The plot is strong and doesn't try to delve into the mind of the serial killer, just tries to catch the person, and we get a strong mystery as Joe and Tommy work to do that. I did feel the ending was a bit weak since it hit two of my pet peeves, but they were minor overall. The characters are absolutely wonderful, and it was fantastic to see them all again.
