How have I never read Robert Crais before?

Suspect - Robert Crais

This was the perfect damaged cop meets new damaged partner and they fight their way back sort of story. Scott and Maggie are a newly formed pack. Scott is the human alpha and Maggie is his Afghanistan veteran German Shepard. Turns out I have a thing for mystery solving Afghanistan vets. 

(show spoiler)


Scott and Maggie suffer from both physical wounds and PTSD. Scott was shot in the line of police duty, but he was lucky as his partner was fatally shot. Maggie also lost her partner and was shot by a sniper while serving in Afghanistan. Maggie has made her way to the LAPD K-9 unit and is paired up with Scott. 


Suspect is written in mulitple POVs, mostly from Scott's perspective. However, we are regularly treated to sections from Maggie's POV. Being a dog lover, it's great to get into the mind of a dog, especially a highly trained working dog. I loved how Maggie considered their whole house as a crate.

All I have to say is, please let this be the first of a many Scott James/Maggie pairings.
