4 stelle e mezza Bella storia e mi sono sentita coinvolta dal fatto che la protagonista abbia perso la memoria dopo un "incidente": ho trovato che ha mostrato un gran coraggio, io mi sarei rintanata in un angolino, tenuto conto che c'erano persone che la volevano morta...

Title: Detection Mission (Texas K-9 Unit Book #2) Author: Margaret Daley Website: http://margaretdaley.com/ Pages: 278 Year: 2013 Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense My Rating: 5 Stars A woman awakes and can remember nothing, her past, her name or where she lived or if she even lived in the Sagebrush community. Now, with the help of a local K-9 officer, “Heidi” is attempting to fill in the void of her memories. With a budding romance, “Heidi” is falling for Officer Lee and his dog. Some of her life feels right while some of it doesn’t. When she begins to remember, her life is in mortal danger. Though “Heidi” doesn’t know what her real name is, she is sure about at least one thing…she is in love. Her desire to learn her real identity becomes paramount if she is ever to have a future and a family. The characters introduced to the audience began with Tracking Justice written by Shirlee McCoy and they follow into book two written by Margaret Daley. Not all of the mystery surrounding the latest happenings in the woods area is solved, especially when no one knows the identity of a local crime syndicate boss. More bodies are found and no one is talking due to the fear of The Boss. I had read another series by Margaret Daley involving the state of Texas and law enforcement. The stories are compelling as the author brings life to her characters by the way she describes them as well as the story or action taking place. So, when I picked up the second book in the K-9 series and saw who the author was, I had no doubt I wouldn’t be able to put it down until I had finished. I didn’t either! Now I will delve into book three of the K-9 series titled, Guard Duty. I hope you join in reading the series as they ignite the imagination and spur the heart’s action!

Great overall plot/mystery, and LOVED the hero and his K-9 partner.
However, this book features some of the most poorly written, unrealistic dialogue ever published. And the author apparently felt the urge to have her characters explain literally everything through dialogue. It’s almost like she forgot this medium is a book and not a movie/show. There is absolutely no need to have the characters speak to each other about everything...we are your readers; you can just show or even tell us! Yikes!
I almost abandoned the book entirely because I kept cringing. But I was intrigued by the amnesia angle and needed to know what was going on.
I really enjoyed this book. The suspense was great. I would hate not being able to remember who I was. This book was very detailed about amnesia. K-9 detective Lee Calloway and his border Collie was working a case in the woods, when he found a lady that had amnesia. She had seen something, she couldn’t remember, and someone wanted her dead. Lee was there to protect her. I also loved Lee’s landlord that took “Heidi’ in and helped to take care of her. She was a caregiver by heart, but could also shoot a gun if she needed too. The end of the book was a surprise that I never saw coming. Excellent book!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Margaret Daley, one of my favorite authors. It was an edge of your seat suspense and hard to put the book down! Amnesia, murder, canine rescue, missing people, and a kindly nurturing landlady who could also be tough as nails! I loved the characters. Ms. Daley's writing drew me in and made me feel like I was one of community of friends. Highly recommend this book! I did not read the 1st book in this series, and am going to order it to begin soon!

She writes books that keep you on the edge of your seat through the whole thing. This one doesn't disappoint. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and if you aren't careful you can give a way spoilers by reviewing them.
I will just leave it as a book you shouldn't miss reading and one I think you will truly enjoy.
This was a very interesting K-9 story. There are many different relationship issues that are addressed. Abusive husband, broken engagement, trust issues. It is all done with a Christian outlook. I definitely recommend this book and author.
I don't know about you but I love dogs of all kinds. This Mini Series Texas K-9 Unit will have you wanting more to read. I finished up reading Detection Mission book #2 in this mini series and it just keeps on getting better and better. If you haven't read this series pick up a copy and read.
Wow! There are few books that can keep me from sleep but this one definitely did! So many different possibilities! I loved it and can't wait for the next one.
"Detection Mission" is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the second book in a series and continues the ongoing mystery about the stolen K9, but it also works fine as a stand alone novel. Heidi has amnesia, which usually is just a reason for the heroine not to remember critical information while being targeted by her enemies. I liked that the author actually spent time on Heidi trying to discover what foods she likes, why she's so comfortable praying, and basically who she is. She's living in a rooming house with two K9 officers, so she's not on the run though she is in danger. This allowed more time for her to get to know people (including Lee) while Lee investigated who's attacking her and why she was wandering the forest, injured, when he found her.
The main characters were likable and reacted realistically to events. Heidi and Lee got along well. Lee supported Heidi's rediscovery process and encouraged her in her progress rather than pressuring her to remember. The suspense came from the physical danger to Heidi from several sources. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.
