Readers Digest Select Editions #3

Suspect
by: Robert Crais

LAPD cop Scott James has never recovered from the horrific night his partner was killed and he nearly died. He's unfit for duty-until he meets his new parter. Maggie, a valiant military dog, isn't doing well either ager losing her handler to a sniper in Afghanistan. Scott and Maggie have a lot in common. And they are each other's last chance.

There wasn't too much that was original in this story. Cop gets hurt, loses his partner, crime doesn't get solved. Months later he gets back on active duty and tries to solve the crime. Yeah, I've read it before. But the one thing different about this story was the addition of the dog Maggie as his new partner. Reading about how Maggie lost her first partner in Afghanistan and how she suffered from it was really touching. I love reading about how loyal a dog can be. So, while the story was otherwise just ok, I loved the story of Scott and Maggie.  Wasn't a book I was trying to rush through to find out the ending.
3 out of 5 rating.
