Enjoy a charming small-town mystery as a veterinary school professor finds the key to dealing with his PTSD by adopting a stray dog--only to have that dog linked to two fires in town.



Book Synopsis



How Is a Missing Military Working Dog Related to Two Local Fires?

Snuggle with your trusty hound and settle into a small-town mystery in book 6 of the Gone to the Dogs series.

Air Force veteran Dr. Lane Bishop and Nora Hernandez's romance has cooled. He is busy working as a researcher at the vet school, and she's busy with her restaurant and opening an antique shop. What Lane hasn't told her is his PTSD, which manifests mostly with nightmares, makes him believe he's damaged goods. But that is about to change when he meets a stray pup that acts a lot like a military working dog.

When a tornado hits Brenham, there is damage in the downtown area and a fire is ignited in Nora's new store. A Belgian Malinois dog is seen at the fire and later Lane sees him at a wedding venue where an explosion occurs. Not long after, a second explosion rocks Brenham and sends Nora and Lane on a hunt for the person responsible. Will the pair find the guilty party before more damage is done to the city's landmarks? And will Lane find the words to tell Nora how much he loves her before it's too late?

Enjoyable Cozy Mystery

This series, with its various pets, has been very enjoyable and the dog in this book may be my favorite pet yet! Pal is a military working dog in need of a home and much of the plot of New Leash on Life deals with finding Pal a new master and witnessing the on-again, off-again romance between Nora and Lane. There's also a tornado, some unexplained fires, and illegal activity brewing in Brenham. What else can possibly happen in this small Texas town that we've come to love? This is the sixth book in the Gone to the Dogs series, and the books just keep getting better. Cozy mystery fans will appreciate this well-written story with its likable characters, clean romance, and just enough intrigue to keep them guessing. I recommend New Leash on Life to all who enjoy contemporary Christian fiction. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

Surprises galore

5 out of 5 stars

Gail Hollingsworth - 2 years ago
These Gone to the Dogs Mysteries are so good and I’ve enjoyed several. New Lease On Life by Kathleen Y’Barbo was an excellent read zeroing in on MWD ( Military Working Dogs) in one lost pup that Vet Lane nicknamed Pal. He and his girlfriend Nora believe he was trained in explosives. Nora’s newly acquired building next door to her restaurant blows up and starts a fire, all during a tornado. Now everyone’s on alert. What will happen next and where does Pal come from? The search for his owner takes them in all directions and then a second explosion in another location adds to the mystery. The author took me on a long mysterious ride where there were surprises galore. I love it when I’m totally shocked with the outcome of these mysteries and this one did that! The characters were delightful and fun to be “around”. A great story and author. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through Celebrate Lit but was not required to write a review.
