Description
A canine Search and Rescue volunteer fights danger and finds love in the Pacific Northwest wilderness in this riveting #1 New York Times bestseller from Nora Roberts.
To most people, Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life—a quaint house on an island off Seattle’s coast, a thriving dog-training school and a challenging volunteer job performing Canine Search and Rescue. But Fiona got to this point by surviving a nightmare: an encounter with the Red Scarf Killer, who shot and killed Fiona’s cop fiancé and his K-9 partner.
On Orcas Island, Fiona has found the peace and solitude necessary to rebuild her life with her three loyal Labs. But all that changes on the day intensely private wood artist Simon Doyle barrels up her drive with an out-of-control puppy, desperate for her help.
As Fiona embarks on training Jaws, and Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past tears back into Fiona’s life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands...

1By Redd628462Being a red headed dog trainer from Puget Sound myself, and one who loves rugged broody men and crime novels, I just had to read this. It sounded like it was written just for me. And I’ve like Nora Robert’s in the past. I was so disappointed. I’ve never read anything so boring. Absolutely nothing happens until 80% in. And even then the ending was so anti-climactic. There’s no mystery. No unexpected twists. No wondering who the killer may be. Just a lot of dog training tips and Fiona and Simon’s borderline toxic relationship. So much dialogue, very little action. Zero surprises.Great Read!

5By bored, broke and goneNora Roberts has ‘flipped the script’ on the standard romantic thriller, gifting her readers with a highly engaging story and characters that are hard to leave… and the pups are a bonus! Five stars for this one!Another great one
5By shrimpfockCould not put it down great I😊 BobAmazing!
5By wild-rebelI have been a huge fan of her work for some time and have read serveral of her books but this one has to be one of my favorite I can read it hundreds of times and still enjoy it like it was the first time!Love the characters (including the 4-legged variety)
5By TZ in VAGood read with enough heat to turn the page. Drags in places but always moves the reader forward.No need to search for suspense...
5By ES the horror fanThat title is right. If you love romantic suspense, and you’re looking for a great book that delivers both, if you’re looking for an author who can really tell a story, your search is over! There’s a reason Nora Roberts has such a huge fanbase, why she is one of the most popular novelists in America! The Search proves why! Simon and Fiona make a great couple, providing plenty of romance with every other chapter. In a suspenseful plot about a copycat serial killer, readers are treated to a storyline that offers suspense so thick you could cut it with a knife, a plot line that offers such a suspenseful, chilling, intriguing mystery that you won’t be able to stop guessing right up until the story’s frightening climax. This is not only a great book about family; it’s also a wonderful story for dog lovers! For fans of powerful romance and electrifying suspense, this book will keep you begging for more!👍🏻👍🏻The Search
5By Jharp51Once you start reading this book you will not or can not put it down. Suspense in every page. Keeps you sitting on edge every page. And the romance just keeps going along. One of the best books I have ever read.The search

5By rockyrutOne of her best books! Loved the rescue dogs! Heartwarming and interesting to the very end.Intriguing with less romance
3By iKmbrlyI enjoyed this book because of the drama and suspense.Kickass
5By PSemonesFiona was a strong brave woman that had endured more than I could have. Of course it helps when you find a love and have family to love and support you. It had amazing twist and turns that kept you off balance, but in the end came together nicely. The narrators were perfect for this book, they had energy that kept you listening.Another predictable story line
3By JjpankYawnGreat read.
5By Ninja among NinjasFirst Nora Roberts book I've read, and I'm hooked. Great story line, and found myself laughing out loud and totally swept up in the store. Didn't want to put it down.Good read
5By Fangirl88Another good story by Nora.All Dogs, all the time
3By KommadoreIf you are looking to train your dog, look no further, cause this book is for you. Roberts knowledge of dog and puppy training is vast, even specialized search and rescue training as she details the exercises emphatically and over and over and over and over again throughout this elite book on dog training. Correction, reward, proper human to dog interaction, how to be the pack leader, this book leaves no stone unturned. Oh, and somebody is murdering women and there's some romance or something going on in there too....
