The Flint K-9 Search and Rescue Mysteries is Jen Blood’s second series, with three books published between 2016 and 2019. The Darkest Thread introduces a search-and-rescue dog handler whose work finding missing persons leads her into cases with criminal dimensions. Inside the Echo and The Redemption Game continue the series.
The search-and-rescue setting gives Blood a natural framework for mysteries — every call-out is a potential crime scene, and the relationship between handler and dog adds a layer of trust and intuition that conventional detective fiction doesn’t have.
