What started out to be a fun family outing turns out to be the most terrifying day for their family, when Conner goes missing. His uncle Beau Gardner who is of the TBI and dog trainer Keely Lambert do what they do best, find people.

Intrigued by the storyline, and the trained rescue dogs in Keely’s care. I liked how the story unfolds, almost like the layers of an onion. I first thought this was about the search for a lost child, when said child is found they discover a man had talked to him, and he lost his way back, things take a deadly turn.

When that layers are peeled back, Keely discovers dog tags in the woods, they belong to her father. He’s been missing for many years. He was presumed dead. Why are the tags found here? Could his body be nearby? Once they start searching for the body, things become bigger than they expected, leading up to a suspenseful and surprise ending I didn’t see coming.

This story is a page turner for sure, but what quickly grabbed my attention was Keeley’s rescue dogs and how they went about tracking down Conner. The author describes how they are trained, and what they were supposed to do in tracking down a missing person or a person of interest. Kathy's passion and love for animals shines throughout this story. The author has four dogs of her own. This makes for a fun escape and one that would work for your next book club pick.

Deadly Conclusion by Kathy Harris hit everything I enjoy in my romantic suspense books. An engaging plot, main characters with some history between them, hints to who the culprit is without revealing him or her to early, and small-town dynamics are all included. Plus, there are some hard working but sweet and loyal dogs.

Keely is just the right combination of tough and vulnerable. She’s determined to make her search and rescue training facility one of the best—one that will draw the interest of and result in a contract with the military. Beau has regrets, especially where his father is concerned, but he has built a career protecting people and upholding the law as a Tennessee Bureau Investigator.

The discovery of Keely’s father’s dog tags during a search for a boy (who happens to be Beau’s nephew) leads to reopening a cold case and catching the attention—and wrath—of someone who is focused on harming the Lambert family.

Harris hits many family dynamics in this book including grief, strained relationships, and caring for an aging parent. Each interaction is genuine, and in many instances, these are the tension builders in this story. Deadly Conclusion is so well-rounded, it’s my favorite book in the series.

What a rush! When I picked up this novel I wasn’t expecting to be plunged into such a suspenseful and immersive story! I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, so I’m coming in blind, but the author does a wonderful job of catching you up, so you never feel like you’ve missed important information. I would really like to read the other books in this series, as I know it would add even more depth to this story, but for a standalone read it is remarkable!

I love that Keely breeds purebred German Shepards! When I was in high school one of my boyfriend’s families bred German Shepards and it really is a fascinating process. They bred and ran a kennel out of their home, but were building a small facility outside town. I think if they would’ve had the kennel that Keely has I’m sure they could’ve been something amazing!

Titan was one of my favorite parts of the story, making me think of my puppy Genie, a fellow purebred German Shepherd. I look back at that time with such fondness, as it was the time that I fell in love with German Shepherds, and big dogs in general.

This novel truly has it all. Suspense, revenge, mystery, forgiveness, and heart all wrapped up in the perfect package. I appreciated that the romance was a slight side story and not the main focus, and I loved everything that had to do with the dogs! I also thought the flashbacks were perfectly executed and added even more depth to the story.

This was quite an entertaining novel and a series that has captured my heart and imagination.

Deadly Connection is book two in Kathy Harris’s Deadly Secrets series set in and around Nashville, but you won’t be at all lost if you start with this one.

It didn’t take me long to figure out who was behind Hannah’s attempted attack but there were also a couple pieces to this mystery that took me by surprise. There is a good, solid build up of the connection between Jake and Hannah before the action in the last quarter of the book really kicks up.

Hannah’s optimism is contagious, and, despite his tragic loss, Jake is not immune to her. Dixie and Roland add another layer of depth to this story (both the light-hearted moments and the heartbreaking ones).

My favorite thing about Harris’s books is how they depict Nashville. This is an insider’s (aka resident’s) view of the city and all its charm (as well as some of the underbelly). From the trendy neighborhoods and hotspots to the hidden gems, Nashville is as diverse as the people who live here. And after twenty-plus years of living in the area, I discovered a couple places I now need to go visit.
