This was actually the best of the short stories in this series so far. It had a mystery plot that the reader got a decent amount of info on rather than focusing on personal relationships and a tiny bit of mystery plot. It was still too short of a story to give more stars but decent for a very short story.

Mary Hiker is one of the few authors whose books I buy just about as soon as they are available. Her stories and books are always entertaining, clean, fast reads. If you love dogs, mysteries, and the outdoors, try any of her books. You'll enjoy any one of them.

This book as with the whole series is excellent. I have really enjoyed it and all the others. They are quick and easy reads . They grab your attention right away and keep it to the end. Really love the scraps Chevy and Avery get themselves into.

Enjoyable

This book was an enjoyable but too short read. I feel the author pulled this story from a longer book she might have written.

Enjoyable read

A book is a murder history book with a very good flow to it. There were very few typos and it was well written. It's worth your time to read this book.

Have been following Mary Hiker's Avery Barks books since the first one came out. I have thoroughly enjoyed the lighthearted story's.
Loyalty is about catching drug dealers, cops being framed, etc. Chevy is the main man, (dog wise) who gets kidnapped in the beginning, to force
Avery to plant drugs on a cop, read it the find the out come.

Good job Mary, Thanks for the good read,
Geneva
