I love the Holly Barker series. I am a big Daisy fan (her Doberman), but the plots are always great too!

I'd read other books in the Holly Barker series but was very excited to finally read the first book introducing this wonderful character. I am a new fan of the author and based on reading a few of them, I am now trying to read all of them! This is a great read, and I particularly love that Daisy, the loyal dog, is featured.

This book is a fast moving plot with entertaining characters. It does not have a complicated storyline, which makes it a perfect read for the beach, airplane ride, or while you watch little Johnny in the sandbox. My ultimate favorite book by Woods is still one of his earliest novels called "Chiefs". If you haven't checked it out yet please do. It has so many twists and turns, it will set your mind whirrling!

Aided by her retired father, the FBI and a public defender lover, Holly leads the FBI to their biggest bust in history. Oh, Daisy, a highly trained dog also plays a part in aprehending the bad guys in addition to retrieving a beer from the fridge on command!
