Book Review: Silent Creed by Alex Kava, a powerful testament to the work of rescue dogs and their handlers
Silent Creed
by Alex Kava (Release Date 5th Jan 2016)
I've read
and loved all lot of Alex Kava’s Maggie O’Dell series and now the second book
in the Ryder Creed series Silent
Creed is out - Yeah!
In the Ryder Creed series we see O’Dell, an FBI agent united with Ryder
Creed a canine rescue operative … and I’m hooked.
In Silent
Creed an old colleague of Ryder’s pulls in a favour resulting in Ryder
and his exceptionally talented recovery dog BOLO attending a landslide in
Carolina. What Ryder doesn’t realise is that under the resulting mudslide lies
a Military funded research facility.
When two murdered bodies are recovered from the
debris, Maggie is enlisted to oversee the recovery operation and it soon
becomes clear that things are not as they should be.
Silent
Creed is, I think, a fitting tribute to the intelligence,
loyalty and bravery of these specially trained dogs. I for one have fallen in love with the
inspirational Grace whose devotion to creed is touching. BOLO comes in at a very close second, for me
but only because his enthusiasm slightly frightens me.
Silent
Creed has extended my knowledge of the function and range
of abilities the dogs have in a really accessible way. It also throws up queries over the ethical
decisions
Kava writes damn good stories which highlight
important issue in a passionate and exciting way and Silent Creed is up there with her best. Her characters arouse real emotion in the
reader. The twists and turns of the plot
make Silent Creed an exciting read.
Strongly recommended for fans of political thrillers as well as those
who like FBI stories.
