I liked that Burton offered perspective from more than just Mace – in a unique approach the chapters from Mace’s perspective were in 1st person while all others were 3rd. He finds himself in the middle of a hunt for a serial killer with newly trained Golden Retriever, Vira, by his side.Ī few times the jokes were indelicate, but for the most part I enjoyed the humor. He’s obviously an animal lover and it shows with how he treats and talks to his dogs.

Mace is a trainer based in Chicago that specializes in cadaver dogs. I enjoyed the mystery/suspense and world building for The Finders, which launches Burton’s Mace Reid K-9 Mystery series. Burton is a new to me author I discovered while hunting for more books narrated by Matt Godfrey. Sections from Mace’s perspective are 1st person while all others are in 3rd. Paired with determined Chicago Police Officer Kippy Gimm, Mace must put all his trust in Vira’s abilities to thwart a serial killer who has now set his sights on Mace himself.ġst & 3rd person. Suddenly, Reid and his prize pupil find themselves hurled into a taxing murder case, which will push them to their very limits. And when Reid begins training Vira as a cadaver dog, he comes to realize just how special the newest addition to his family truly is… He adopts a rescue dog with a mysterious past-a golden retriever named Vira.

Reid’s coming off a taxing year-mourning the death of a beloved springer spaniel as well as the dissolution of his marriage. Mason “Mace” Reid lives on the outskirts of Chicago and specializes in human remains detection. If my visitor is coming for you, you don’t have long to live.
