Product Description

Beka Cooper, the heroine of Terrier, is no longer a Puppy.

She's a Dog now—a full-fledged member of the Provost's Guard, dedicated to keeping peace in Tortall. But there's unrest throughout land. Counterfeit coins are turning up in shops all over the capital city of Corus, and the nation's economy is on the brink of collapse.

The Dogs discover that the counterfeit money seems to originate in Port Caynn. So Beka heads upriver to investigate, traveling with her mentor, Goodwin; Achoo, a hound whose nose is as sharp as her claws; and the pigeon Slapper, who carries the voices of the dead.

In Port Caynn, Beka delves deep into the gambling world, where she meets a charming banking clerk named Dale Rowan. Beka thinks she may be falling for Rowan, but she won't let anything—or anyone—jeopardize her mission. From the Silversmith's Guild to the Provost's House to the city sewers, it won't be enough for Beka to be her usual Terrier self. She'll have to learn from Achoo how to sniff out the criminals—to be a Bloodhound. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars I haven't read a book by Tamora Pierce that I didn't like, Aug 6 2009

By	CountRebulaComments.blogspot.com - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bloodhound: The Legend of Beka Cooper #2 (Hardcover)

[...]

I love, love Tamora Pierce's books, her first book Alanna, is what first got me addicted to reading, well that and my Dad who is also an avid reader. Needless to say I was beyond excited that another book set in her Tortall universe was coming out! My favorite thing about the the Beka Cooper series is the slang that the common city and street folk use in this book, occasionally I would have to look up what a word meant but there is at trusty glossary at the back of the book that came in handy so I didn't have any troubles. I also sometimes found myself talking like Beka after reading because their language stuck in my head after putting it down. Also this book is written in a journal like format from Beka's point of view which is a refreshing take on books written from first person. Tamora Pierce is well know for her strong female characters and Bloodhound shows that again and again with Beka and her partner Goodwin. They are strong, they can take care of themselves and they know how to have a good time. Beka's unusual 'magic' gifts are different and I was glad to revisit them again. The story kept me interested and turning pages for more. I had taken this book on my family's annual camp out and I didn't hear the end of it, everyone was quite annoyed that I couldn't put it down! I cannot wait to read more about Beka Cooper & company and I hope that the next book does take too long to come out

4.0 out of 5 stars This book really works!, April 20 2009

By	Vanessa M. Dow "Vanessa D" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bloodhound: The Legend of Beka Cooper #2 (Hardcover)

Tonight on CSI-Tortall: Beka has finally achieved Dog status, but she still has a lot to learn. Her rough style has her unable to keep a partner, and she ends up back with her trainers. A counterfeiting scheme leads to rioting in the streets. Will the Dogs discover the source of the false coin before the entire kingdom is at risk? And pheromones are flying, but Beka's new man might be at the very centre of the crime ring.

My review: I have been waiting forever for this book. Book one came out in 2007. And it still managed to live up to my expectations.

For those unfamiliar with the series, Beka Cooper is a Dog in the kingdom of Tortall. Basically, she's a medieval cop. And she kicks butt. I love a heroine who can take care of herself. Don't get me wrong, she's not some iron maiden. She's painfully shy, she is constantly followed by a menagerie of stray animals, and she comes across very believably. I really enjoy the character.

This book is written in the form of Beka's journal that she's writing to help keep events fresh for her reports. I think writing a book like this one in a diary format would be tricky, but Pierce manages it well. This being her personal diary, Beka uses a lot of slang you might not understand, so I'll just let you know there's a helpful glossary and a listing of characters at the back. { Side note: Why do they put things like that at the back where you only find it after you've finished the book and you don't need the glossary anymore? }

Like just about every book, there were a few flaws in this one. I felt like the real story took a long time (around pg. 100) to actually get started. The beginning part of the book was interesting and enjoyable, but I thought the groundwork could have been laid a little faster. However, once the action gets going, the story flows very well. The other thing that bugged me, most of this book takes place away from the city of Corus, so we hardly see any of the characters from the last book. Rosto, Pounce, Kora and Ersken all have to settle for bit parts. There's lots of great new characters, but I guess I just got attached to the old ones.

My final word: 4 out of 5. Not as good as the first one, but Pierce's unorthodox take on the police procedural is extremely readable, with broad appeal. I would suggest reading Book One first, but this book actually stands on its own pretty well, especially with the help of the character listing at the back.
