Her suspense stories never disappoint me. I get heart palpitations as I read along and danger lurks for the characters. This book has a surprising conclusion that I never would have guessed, and I loved it! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Celebrate Lit but was not required to write a review.

I received this book as an ARC with no expectation of a positive review. What a fabulous suspenseful book. Pilar picked up a package from her employer to deliver. According to the manifest it was an expensive plant. Next thing she knew she had a bullet hole in her windshield and her van went out of control. Join Pilar as she is found by Chase and Tank as they try to unravel this mystery and all the suspense that goes along with it. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat as the clues unfold. This is a must read for all suspense fans.

Detecting Concealed Evidence is the fifth thrilling installment in the Security Hounds Investigations series. Ms. Mentink once again excels in combining fast paced suspense, sweet romance, and inspiring faith to create an exciting, riveting read. The intriguing plot's clever and impactful twists kept me guessing at the outcome. Emotions run high as the danger heightens. Bossy detective/K9 handler Chase Wolfe and reserved but strong-spirited musician Pilar Alonso along with faithful security bloodhound Tank kept me fully invested in their adventure from start to finish! I appreciate the gentle faith thread incorporated naturally into the story. I love the Wolfe family and can't wait to read the next book in the series. I read an early copy of this book from the author/publisher with no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
