review: burning ridge by margaret mizushima

This post contains affiliate links.

The fourth Timber Creek K-9 mystery, Burning Ridge, gets off to a quick start when Deputy Mattie Cobb helps break up a bar fight and then her potential love interest finds a burned body. The plot then slows a bit as a number of secondary characters and subplots are introduced. There are some new people in town and a lot of time is spent setting up red herrings before the primary plot kicks into gear again. Once Burning Ridge gets going, it's a whirlwind of drama drawing on Mattie's backstory which has been unknown even to her. Although Burning Ridge is the fourth in the series, there's enough background information dropped in seamlessly to make it work as a standalone.
4/5
