Now a 2024 American Fiction Awards Finalist in the Mystery/Suspense-Cozy genre! Veronica possesses a natural affinity for training dogs—and a passion for locating missing people. As "Lawyers, Dogs, and Money" unfolds, Veronica trains peanut allergy alert and prison contraband sniffing dogs—and joins her search and rescue colleague, a Deputy Sheriff for Boulder County, in trying to ascertain the source of threats against Kadri Ilves, a co-worker of Sgt. Donovan's daughter at a high-end import/export business. The woman being targeted is a native of Estonia and has a long history of advocating for social justice causes. As efforts to harm Kadri escalate in an alarming fashion, Veronica's team and Sgt. Donovan desperately attempt to pinpoint the person behind the threats.
Veronica's father assists the investigation by researching Kadri's background, including her work to end racial disparity in prison sentencing, and legal claims she has filed relative to disputed lands in Estonia. Has Kadri put herself in the crosshairs of the California branch of the Russian Mafia? Can Veronica and her canine partner, Leda, save Kadri before events turn deadly?

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars -
4 1/2 stars for me. I loved the detail that went into this story regarding Estonia, illegal trade and routes, and training of dogs. Veronica had a very strong support system, helping with the hunt, information gathering, and of course, rescue. There were plenty of suspects to cull through, and I had an inkling early on, though the reveal was unexpected. I fell in love with her dogs and look forward to more in this series.
The narration by Alyssa Baumann was wonderful. The emotions and different personalities kept the story alive. Her voice enhanced the tale.
This is my unsolicited review.
