Follow the Clues by Dana Mentink I

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Follow The Clues. This is book four in the series Security Hounds Investigations. I have really enjoyed this series. I love how Dana can write intrigues and yet have light humous moments in them. I love the hounds. Whoever heard of a blind blood hound in search and rescue. Such a cool concept. I know you are going to love this book, I'm such a huge fan of her writings.

Kara Wolfe was out training her dogs. Minnie is almost blind and Kara is training Phil an Anatolian Shepherd to see for her. As she finished a rusty old van drove her and the dogs into the bushes. They had almost ran her down. She drove off  towards the highway when she saw Big Blue, a truck from her old friend. Then she heard a loud engine and saw the rusty van roar up and hit Big Blue not once but twice until it ran him off the road. Was Beau alright? He acted like he didn't know her.

Beau O'Connor had sustained a traumatic brain injury seven months ago. He had witnessed a murder and the been hit over the head at his families hatchery. There had been no evidence of the violence but Beau had lost everything. His body healed but his brain didn't. Now he couldn't recognize anyone face, even the woman he once loved. He did know that his mother was missing. Could Kara and her family help him to find her?

An exciting journey to find Beau's mother and stay one step ahead of the culprit. God has a plan for these two broken souls, a plan for hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan for peace and not for destruction.
