Striking Range by Margaret Mizushima

4.0

Another mystery featuring Mattie Cobb, and her K-9 partner, Robo. I like all the major players in this series, perhaps it’s all a bit too sweet and sugary apart from the crimes. I am getting a bit tired of everything leading back to Mattie’s family troubles and the murder of her father and enough is said to make you feel this is going to continue for a while. I picked out the main criminal almost immediately. There were a couple of words that just made me think, OK, that’s it. Literally two words but then everything else that happened, the conversations, the looks etc kept reinforcing my guess. However there was plenty I didn’t guess. It does rely a little too much on coincidence and sheer luck. I like the relationship Mattie has with her dog and I like reading about the
Colorado High Country. Her relationship with Cole continues to move along nicely.
