About this listen

The Lost is the next mystery from author Jeffrey B. Burton starring an extraordinary cadaver dog and her handler.

Glencoe, Illinois: A home invasion turned kidnapping at the mansion of billionaire financier Kenneth J. Druckman brings Mason “Mace” Reid and his cadaver dog, Vira, to this wealthy northern suburb of Chicago. Druckman was assaulted, left behind while his wife and young daughter were taken for ransom.

Brought to the scene by the FBI, Reid specializes in human remains detection, and Vira is the star of his pack of cadaver dogs he’s dubbed The Finders. After Vira finds the dead body of the mother, former supermodel Calley Kurtz, everyone is on high alert to find Druckman’s missing daughter before the five-year-old disappears forever. But the trail Vira finds on the property’s dense woodlands leads right back to Druckman himself.

With the help of Detective Kippy Gimm, Reid and Vira must race against the clock. Nothing is as it appears to be . . . and the red herrings could be lethal.

Elvira

This story wandered a little to much for me and I felt Elvira was not the star as she usually is . Enjoy it anyway!

Another great listen

Already looking forward to book 4. Vira (Ira with a V) and her other detection dog partners, as well as Mace and Kippy (the human helpers) make up a great team!

A Light, Fun Listen

After all of the depressing, heavy things going on in the world these days, it is wonderful to escape to Mr. Burton's books for a spell! Thank you!

Well done!

The mystery was a good one with lots of twists, but the format was disconcerting. The author put you in the mind of all of the relevant characters in a time sequential manner. If you are expecting a good mystery, you win. If you are looking for a mystery led by Human Remains Dogs trained and living with Mace Reid, you might be flummoxed and possibly disappointed. I went in without any real expectations, so I enjoyed it.
I requested and received a free ebook copy from St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Just love Elvira and series

Vira always knows what she smells, but getting her handler and other humans to understand is quite another matter. Loved the book’s twists and turns to its final conclusion.

Unexpected Twist

I love how the author personifies his dogs. The little girl’s behavior seemed a bit older than five. Overall,I really enjoyed the book.

Interesting story but almost predictable. Good dog story though.

I was looking for a dog story and this one with all “the kids” was easy enough to listen to.
