4.0 out of 5 stars As good as Patricia Cornwell?, Feb 3 2006
Harry Doyle is a cop in New South Wales in Australia. He used to be in Homicide but now works with police dogs tracking criminals and finding drugs. His personal life is in shambles with his wife having an affair, his older daughter staying out late and carrying on with a married man and his younger daughter arranging to meet someone she has been chatting with on the internet. He continues to work but one dog is killed as he helps stake out a house where there has been a report of screams and shots. The woman in the house was murdered but the perp has disappeared. Then Harry is called into the country to help investigate a murder. And from evidence collected it is concluded that the same person was responsible for both murders. The murders convince Harry to get back into the homicide business and investigate so he is away from home when his younger daughter goes missing.

We slowly learn more about Harry and his wife throughout the book. Harry is a very complex character who has kept a lot of things hidden from his wife. In turn, she has encouraged the secretiveness by being overly critical and demanding. So, as they work through the crises that face them, they are also realizing their parts in the disintegration of the marriage.

I was on tenterhooks for most of this book and the suspense continues right up to the end.

As a dog lover, the scenes involving the dogs were very interesting. Harry seems part sniffer dog himself as he analyzes the scent landscape everywhere he goes. The descriptions of the Australian land and its fauna and flora were an additional delight.

The cover of the book has a quote from Sunday Age that says 'As good as Patricia Cornwell'. Well from my point of view Ms Lord is not only as good as Cornwell, she is much better.
