First in a new series
from national bestselling author Kylie Logan, The Scent of Murder is a
riveting mystery following Jazz Ramsey as she trains cadaver dogs.
The
way Jazz Ramsey figures it, life is pretty good. She’s thirty-five
years old and owns her own home in one of Cleveland’s most diverse,
artsy, and interesting neighborhoods. She has a job she likes as an
administrative assistant at an all-girls school, and a volunteer
interest she’s passionate about—Jazz is a cadaver dog handler.
Jazz
is working with Luther, a cadaver dog in training. Luther is still
learning cadaver work, so Jazz is putting him through his paces at an
abandoned building that will soon be turned into pricey condos. When
Luther signals a find, Jazz is stunned to see the body of a young woman
who is dressed in black and wearing the kind of make-up and jewelry that
Jazz used to see on the Goth kids back in high school.
She’s
even more shocked when she realizes that beneath the tattoos and the
piercings and all that pale make up is a familiar face.
The lead
detective on the case is an old lover, and the murdered woman is an old
student. Jazz finds herself sucked into the case, obsessed with learning
the truth.
I’m giving this a 3 stars because of dogs! I mean right?! What’s my name?!
Anyhoo,
I chose this book because of said dogs. The beginning starts out with
Jazz (whom I thought was the dog at first) training a cadaver dog named,
Luther, in an abandoned building. Well, good ole Luther finds a real
body. Hmmmm... that sucked, but he did his job! Give him the ball!
The
dogs aren’t really in the book much. It’s mostly about Jazz and her ex
who is the cop on the investigation. This, that, the other happens. They
get the killer and the best part, there is a new puppy at the end.
* I would like to thank Netgalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book!
Happy Reading!
