Summary

Deputy Mattie Cobb is in a dark place and has withdrawn from Cole Walker and his family to work on issues from her past. When she and her K-9 partner, Robo, get called to track a missing junior high student, they find the girl dead on Smoker's Hill behind the high school, and Mattie must head to the Walker home to break the bad news. But that's only the start of trouble in Timber Creek because soon another girl goes missing - and this time it's one of Cole's daughters.

Knowing that each hour a child remains missing lessens the probability of finding her alive, Mattie and Robo lead the hunt while Cole and community volunteers join in to search everywhere, but to no avail. It seems that someone has snatched all trace of the Walker girl from their midst, including her scent. Grasping at straws, Mattie and Robo follow a phoned-in tip into the dense forest, where they hope to find a trace of the girl's scent and to rescue her alive. But when Robo does catch her scent, it leads them to information that challenges everything they thought they knew about the case.

Mattie and Robo must rush to hunt down the kidnapper before they're too late in Hunting Hour, the third installment in critically acclaimed author Margaret Mizushima's exhilarating mystery series.

You can stop hunting for a good book

I enjoyed this book. This is quickly becoming A must read or listen too series for me. The author has created some special characters, ones that over the course of the series I have come to care about, so when goes missing it turns into a nail biting listen. Robo is everybody's dream dog and it is entertaining to join him on his search for the missing child. The story is well written to hold the listeners attention throughout. The first half is all about questioning suspects over the death of a little girl, giving you plenty of suspects. Then things get serious and it's all about searching and tracking using the dogs. There is a little bit of home life drama as things get personal in more ways than one. I can't wait to start the next book to see where the author takes the series next.
Deputy Mattie Cobb as her K9 companion gets called in when junior high girl goes missing. With Robo on the job her dead body is quickly discovered and Mattie is drawn into a murder investigation that makes things personal. Mattie suspects the father but is she letting her personal feeling get in the way? A frantic call from the local vet has Robo and Mattie out searching the streets again. This time Mattie is wishing for a better out come, as she is close to the young girl who never returned from school. Robo can only track so far when it appears she was taken. It's up to Mattie and the rest of the police department who workout how might have taken her before she to ends up dead.
I like the narrator. She has a pleasant voice to listen too and the story just flies by.

Same review

Entertaining, listen, and a good series, but at times, I just wanted to shake the lead character.

Great book

So good to read a book that keeps you guessing to the end. Love that the relationships are not obvious and cliche

Excellent Read

I have just finished the 3rd book in this series by Margaret Mizushima,
I love how the characters remain the same in each book. I feel I know them all especially Maddie Cob. I also enjoy the subtle twists throughout the book. Think I’m ready for book 4….

Edge of your seat again

What I love about this author is the way she keeps you on your toes and throws out so many twists you can’t wait for the end to find you were wrong and it was somebody else entirely. Can’t wait for the next book

Another good solid book in the series!

I am loving this book series, I love Robo the dog. Great characters who are brought to life by the superb performance of Nancy Wu. This story is really good, it's heart wrenching and quite sad, but very enthralling. I'm not going to lie I had a feeling I knew who the suspect was about halfway through, when it was confirmed I was had enjoyed the ride and was impressed with myself. To be fair it was a combination of listening to over 250 murder mystery books and guessing. I liked the ending and am excited to hear the next book. I binged this in two days.

Great addition to the series

I am currently binging the series so the character and the relationships are very familiar - I think I would struggle going in not at the beginning so I would read/listen to them in order. All three dogs are great.

This went in a very different direction and opened up some social commentary. Really cant say anything more due to spoilers.

Very used to the narration style now.
