I’ve been racking my brain for why I’ve enjoyed the Tin Star K9 series books so much and I finally realized it is because they don’t easily fit int a single genre…. Sure, there is mystery, some thriller elements and suspense, but there is also a bit of romance not to mention being less gritty or dark like most police/murder related thrillers.

Reading Maverick felt like visiting the small town where I grew up, the cast of characters was very familiar having previously read Renegade and the interaction of the characters is authentic to a small town where everyone knows everyone’s business moments after it occurs.

If you have read Renegade, do yourself a favor and read maverick you won’t be sorry, if you are looking for a new author/series you could read Maverick as a stand-alone story, but you would miss out on everyone’s background and how Caitlyn and Renegade became a part of the Sheriff’s department.

I listened to the audiobook version of Maverick and once again Joyce Oben has done an excellent job of not only bringing the character to life, but the overall story as well.
