Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
A killer with an explosive agenda and a K-9 and determined detective on the case.

In a hurricane’s aftermath, Detective Erin Jeffries is stunned when she and her search-and-rescue K-9, Alcee, uncover a collapsed building’s only survivor—her long-ago ex, Cody Elbourne. And it’s quickly clear that the disaster was no accident. Now only Cody can identify the man who set the explosives that killed his grandfather…and Erin must stop the killer dead set on silencing him.


My Review:
Trailing a Killer is a Christian romantic suspense novel. I liked that Cody never questioned Erin's abilities as a cop. When he resisted her suggestions on how to stay safe, it wasn't because he thought her incompetent or that he knew better but because he didn't like his freedom being restricted and financially needed to keep working. After she was proven correct several times, he was willing to follow her suggestions because he realized that the situation was serious and she could keep him alive. The romance started back when they were young, but they parted and had some really bad romantic experiences that put them off dating and marriage. As they got to know each other again, they realized what a relationship between them could offer might be worth the risk.

The main characters were thoughtful, likable, and reacted realistically to events. Suspense was created by multiple attempts to kill Cody while Erin's investigation kept hitting dead ends. Erin found strength and healing in God. Cody initially wasn't interested in religion, though he was curious about why Erin believed since she didn't need a religious crutch. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and would highly recommend it.
