Publisher's summary

From the best-selling author of Earnest and An Unexpected Grace comes a novel about a woman, a dog, and the hope and love that can emerge from tragedy....

Two years ago, police officer Andrea Brady fell madly in love with a black-muzzled, slightly rumpled German shepherd who showed up at her house one misty autumn day. Now, with the brave and intuitive Justice as her expert K-9 drug sniffer, she's found an unbeatable partner. Then the unthinkable happens. A savage attack leaves a teenager dead and Andie trapped in every cop's worst nightmare. Placed on administrative leave, she's pursued by media and investigated by a deputy sheriff whose handling of the high-profile case could earn him a coveted promotion.

Haunted by self-doubt, Andie is in danger of losing everything - her career, her freedom, and the critically injured dog who's her soul mate. But as she finds kind allies in her Puget Sound island community, the road back becomes a journey of healing for both Andie and her canine companion. And Andie learns important lessons about justice - and about Justice - as she struggles to find the courage to forgive herself and reclaim the gift of her life....

Fun story

I enjoyed this book, it shows the journey to healing that Andi took. Anything narrated by Xe Sands is always a delight to listen to.

My favorite narrator!

It was a pleasant listen for the most part. The main character likable and mostly relatable.
The author could have done more research on police K9s. You don't just find a dog and a year later it's serving with a police department. Actually, I would have enjoyed the book more if the author had included what the training was like and how the dog handler - police dog relationship developed over time.
The investigation felt realistic, although I'm not familiar with that process.
I was a little disappointed when it started veering toward love story, as if the author didn't feel it was a strong enough story to stand alone (it could have been.)
I'm a dog lover but the dog wasn't my favorite part--bit too anthropomorphic, although bearable. My favorite parts were Andi's sessions with her therapist. Really rang true. An excellent therapist. I even learned something things about myself.

XE Sands

I’ve listened to many book in which XE Sands narrates. And I like her, BUT…she speaks so quietly I can barely hear her. I don’t have any hearing problems. But even with my earphones, phone, or from whatever device I’m listening, even on FULL volume, it is a big struggle to hear the book.

Great read by Xe Sands

Quick story. Semi detective. Seemed to move quickly and the story was okay. Not thrilling.

Cute story

I listened to this because Xe did the performance. As always, Xe was fabulous but unfortunately the story is a bit two dimensional and sounds like a fictional remake of a Psychologically Today article .
