De: Margaret Mizushima

Narrado por: Nancy Wu

Secrets hide within the fog deep in the mossy forests of the Pacific Northwest, in this ninth thrilling installment in award-winning author Margaret Mizushima’s Timber Creek K-9 Mystery series.

Deputy Mattie Wray, formerly Mattie Cobb, is summoned to Washington’s Olympic peninsula for an urgent search and rescue mission to find a celebrity’s missing child. With only a week left before her wedding, Mattie is hesitant to leave Timber Creek, but her K-9 partner Robo’s tracking skills are needed.

Dense forest, chilling rain, and unfriendly locals hamper their efforts, and soon Mattie suspects something more sinister than a lost child is at play. When one of the SAR dogs becomes ill, her fiancé Cole Walker suspects poison. Fearing for Mattie’s and Robo’s safety, Cole joins the search and rescue team as veterinary support.

Secrets that have lain hidden within the rugged terrain come to light and when it is uncovered that the missing child was kidnapped, the search becomes a full-blown crime scene investigation, forcing Mattie, Robo, and Cole into a desperate search to find the missing child before it's too late.

Three Thumbs Up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Loved the PNW setting of this story. Good story premise and the character development is a good balance of conflict, compassion, and chaotic. The narrative started off slow, but ended at a good pace.

Good dog adventure

A good fun read. I just had a little problem with with the subject matter.

Excellent story line as always.

No surprises with another masterfully written story in this series. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Starts with energy, then a bang, and we’re off!

Another excellent book in the series and another one I didn’t want to put down…in my case stop listening to.

AWESOME!

Can't wait for the next book!! Her books are so well written and ready to follow! I love Robo!

Timber Creek K- 9 is our favorite mystery series!

My family and I ALWAYS excitedly await the next book of Timber Creek K-9 series! And we are never disappointed.
Once started, it is impossible to put down. So not surprisingly we loved the latest book, Gathering Mist!

Honestly these books should be a Netflix series. It would be amazing, and something the whole family can enjoy together, which is getting harder to find these days. And so many dog lovers out there too.

We have come to KNOW and LOVE these characters..and the mysteries that surround them are always SO well constructed and suspenseful. I don’t know how she keeps creating all these “page turning” stories - but she does!

I HIGHLY recommend Gathering Mist and this entire series..it is so refreshing. I have read them in order and really enjoyed seeing the characters develop throughout the books. That is what I personally recommend, however you don’t have to. And all the books in this series are equally wonderful.

Also, I love the narrator, Nancy Wu! She does a perfect job giving all these characters their voices.
She is very easy to listen to, and is the icing on the cake for this audible series.

a good story typical and dependable.

as usual with all Robo stories everyone is happy at the end. a other one down.

Suspensful

I thoroughly enjoy this K9 series. I like the storylines from book to book, and the authors way of keeping me vested in the outcome.

Everything here: Suspense & Heartfelt

I especially enjoyed this Audible book staring Maddie Ray, Robo the dog & Cole Walker. The premise of the crime kept getting more horrible as one got deeper into the book, thus ramping up the suspense. It turns out the bad guy is REALLY bad!
A few young boys have gone missing over the past several years near the Olympic Forest in Washington state, the most recent a 9-year-old son to a popular actress who is filming her next movie on location. Many dog rescue teams are called in to search, including tapping the Colorado contingent, which includes Maddie & Robo.
The author and narrator do a good job in describing how grueling the search is in the vast forest in the mostly rainy, damp and bone-chilling conditions, not to mention the thick undergrowth of the terrain making traversing through the woods downright painful.
The suspense ratcheted up as the awful pieces started to come together on just what was going on, and the climax had me listening till the end--forget about sleep! Let me say that the book ended on such a heartfelt and wonderful note featuring Cole's & Maddie's wedding at Cole's ranch with all the people we have come to know in attendance. So much affection; one could feel the love.

an intriguing adventure

This kept good interest and suspense. The dog is believable, as are the camping conditions in Olympic National Park.
